Abstract

Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), or Arnis, embodies the rich martial heritage of the Philippines, utilizing various weapons for combat and self-defense (Martin et al., 2018). Recognized as the national martial art and sport through Republic Act 9850 in 2009, Arnis has since gained a formal place in education. This study explores faculty experiences teaching Arnis in Physical Activities Towards Health and Fitness (PATHFit) 3 and 4 courses across colleges and universities in Central Luzon (Region III). Employing Colaizzi's 7-step phenomenological technique, with data gathered through interviews and audio-visual recordings, the study uncovers five key themes: (1) The Pedagogical and Cultural Significance of Including Arnis in the Curriculum (2) Enhancing Student Safety and Holistic Development through Arnis (3) Fostering Social Connections, Personal Growth, and Cultural Integration through Arnis (4) Addressing Challenges and Promoting Engagement in Arnis Education and, (5) Enhancing the Teaching and Promotion. Findings revealed that Arnis education transcends physical instruction, fostering cultural pride, resilience, and personal growth among educators and students. Faculty members experienced professional transformation, adopting innovative teaching methods to sustain cultural heritage while addressing modern educational demands. For students, integrating Arnis into PATHFit courses boosted confidence, discipline, and community involvement, strengthening their cultural identity. This study underscores the significance of Arnis as a culturally relevant educational tool that bridges traditional practices with contemporary fitness education. The findings advocate for the development of dynamic, culturally inclusive curricula and faculty training programs, ensuring the sustained relevance of Arnis in academic and societal contexts. By preserving this martial art, educators can inspire both personal development and community cohesion, reinforcing Arnis as a symbol of Filipino identity.

Abstract

Introduction: Daily physical activities, especially sports, always contain the risk of injury, which most often occurs in the lower extremities, especially the knee joint. Knee injuries are generally caused by direct trauma, excessive pressure, or incorrect movement techniques, resulting in clinical symptoms such as pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion that can interfere with daily activities. Many athletes and the general public experience this problem, so proper and fast treatment is needed. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two massage methods, namely effriction and frirage in treating knee injuries with a 2x2 factorial experimental design. Method: The study sample was purposively selected and then divided into four groups based on the type of massage and duration of injury (10 days and 1 month). Two main parameters were measured: pain level using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and joint range of motion using a Goniometer. Data were analysed using SPSS through normality, homogeneity, and Two-Way ANOVA tests to test for differences in treatment effects. Results: The results showed that effriction was more effective in reducing pain at 1 month (58.33%) compared to 10 days (44.44%), while frirage was optimal in the initial phase (34.92%). ROM improvement was more significant on long-term therapy (effriction: 21.64%; frirage: 18.24%). Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed a significant interaction between the massage method and the duration of injury (p<0.05). Conclusion: The selection of massage technique should consider the duration of injury, with effriction for long-term treatment and frirage for the acute phase for optimal rehabilitation outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the correlation between physical activity in the context of physical education and students' academic performance. The methodological framework used is a quantitative correlational and cross-sectional design. The study was conducted from April 15 to May 15, 2025, involving 187 participants from elementary, middle, and high schools spread across six educational institutions in North Sumatra. The sampling methodology employed purposive sampling, targeting students actively engaged in physical education (PJOK) and willing to complete an online questionnaire. The study utilized a questionnaire derived from the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). This instrument assesses the prevalence and duration of physical activity, sedentary behavior, and students' perceptions of the importance of physical activity. Students' academic performance was measured using the average scores from their final semester reports. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics alongside Pearson's correlation test. The study findings revealed a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.001, which is less than the 0.05 threshold, indicating a statistically significant correlation between the Physical Activity (X) and Academic Performance (Y) variables. These results suggest that consistent engagement in physical activity has the potential to enhance cognitive function and promote academic success among students. Consequently, the integration of physical activity plays a crucial role in promoting the holistic development of students' academic abilities and overall health.

Abstract

Long-term player development in rugby is a complex process that involves physical, technical, tactical, and mental growth. This progression follows structured models like the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) framework. Key factors for maximizing a player’s potential over time include learning basic movement skills at a young age, age- appropriate sport-specific training, structured training phases, and strength and conditioning programs tailored to different playing positions. Starting with multiple sports rather than specializing too early helps players develop a strong foundation of motor skills while reducing injury risks. This well-rounded approach benefits both their physical and mental development, leading to better long-term performance. However, implementing LTAD effectively in rugby comes with several challenges. Early specialization increases the risk of burnout and injuries, especially since young athletes’ bodies are still growing.   To understand these challenges, a systematic review was conducted using various online databases. Out of 30 relevant sources, 25 were journal articles, one was a book, two were federation modules, and two were grey literature sources. Given rugby’s high-contact nature, injuries are common. Programs like World Rugby’s Activate initiative are strongly recommended to help reduce the occurrence of concussions, ligament injuries, sprains, and muscle strains. Another major challenge is player retention, particularly during transitions from youth to senior levels. Many young players drop out due to unrealistic expectations, increased pressure, and a lack of proper support. Socio-economic and geographical barriers also play a significant role. Players from underprivileged backgrounds often have limited access to quality coaching and training facilities. To address these issues, rugby needs more inclusive pathways, fair distribution of resources, and innovative solutions like wearable technology to monitor player workload and optimize training. This review highlights the importance of personalized development plans, ongoing injury prevention strategies, and increased access to rugby opportunities. Future research should focus on refining LTAD models, creating standardized evaluation tools, and developing adaptable, evidence-based training programs to ensure sustainable and equitable player development.
