Abstract

Shuttlecock quality is a critical but often underestimated factor in badminton skill development, particularly in local club settings where training equipment is frequently selected on the basis of cost and availability. This study examined differences in drop shot and smash performance when badminton athletes used standard and non-standard shuttlecocks. A quantitative comparative method with a repeated-measures experimental design was employed. Forty active athletes from Mandiri Husada Badminton Club, Palopo City, were selected through purposive sampling. Stroke performance was measured using three indicators: shuttlecock speed recorded by a radar gun, stroke accuracy assessed through a target-zone scoring system, and trajectory consistency analyzed through high-speed video-based kinematics. Each athlete completed structured drop shot and smash tests under both shuttlecock conditions, with a 48-hour washout period and counterbalanced testing order. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, paired-samples t-test, and Cohen's d. The results showed that standard shuttlecocks produced significantly higher smash speed than non-standard shuttlecocks (142.3 km/h vs. 128.7 km/h; t (39) = 8.42; p < 0.001; d = 1.21). Drop shot accuracy was also substantially higher with standard shuttlecocks (78.4% vs. 61.9%; t (39) = 7.63; p < 0.001; d = 1.54). Trajectory consistency for both smash and drop shot was significantly more stable under the standard condition. These findings indicate that standard shuttlecocks provide more predictable mechanical and aerodynamic feedback, thereby supporting faster, more accurate, and more consistent stroke execution. Formal badminton training programs should prioritize BWF-standard shuttlecocks, especially for technical training and junior athlete development.

Abstract

Sepak sila ability is a fundamental skill in sepaktakraw because it supports ball control, receiving, rally maintenance, and continuity of play. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between leg muscle strength and eye-foot coordination with sepak sila ability among students of SMP Negeri 1 Kassi, Pangkep Regency. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design was employed. The sample consisted of 60 male students from Grades I and II selected through simple random sampling by lottery. Leg muscle strength was measured using the half squat jump test, eye-foot coordination was measured through a ball-dribbling coordination test on a predetermined course, and sepak sila ability was measured based on the number of valid sepak sila touches performed within one minute. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression with SPSS. The findings showed that leg muscle strength had a positive and significant relationship with sepak sila ability (r = 0.314; p = 0.015), while eye-foot coordination also had a positive and significant relationship with sepak sila ability (r = 0.440; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, both predictors explained 23.2% of the variance in sepak sila ability (R = 0.481; R Square = 0.232; p = 0.001). These findings indicate that sepak sila performance is more strongly supported by the integration of physical and coordinative capacities, particularly eye-foot coordination, than by leg muscle strength as an isolated factor.

Abstract

Smash ability in sepaktakraw is a complex attacking skill that requires the integration of anthropometric reach, lower-limb explosive power, flexibility, body coordination, and technical accuracy. This study aimed to examine the relationship between leg length, leg explosive power, and flexibility with smash ability among students of the Faculty of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Makassar. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational design was employed. The final sample consisted of 50 students with complete data and no missing values. Leg length was measured using an anthropometric procedure, leg explosive power using the vertical jump test, flexibility using a trunk flexibility test, and smash ability using a sepaktakraw smash skill test. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Pearson correlation, simple regression, and multiple regression. The findings showed that leg length, leg explosive power, and flexibility were positively and significantly related to smash ability, with correlation coefficients of r = 0.552, r = 0.676, and r = 0.607, respectively. The multiple regression model indicated that the three predictors simultaneously explained 60.9% of the variance in smash ability. These findings indicate that sepaktakraw smash performance is more strongly supported by functional physical capacities, particularly lower-limb explosive power and flexibility, than by anthropometric characteristics alone.

Abstract

Overhead passing is a fundamental volleyball skill that requires controlled arm force, adequate trunk mobility, precise eye-hand coordination, and stable contact with the ball. This study examined the relationships between arm muscle strength, trunk flexibility, and eye-hand coordination with overhead passing ability among students in the volleyball learning context of SMA Nasional Makassar. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design was used with 60 valid student records. Data were collected through a push-up test, trunk forward-flexion test, wall bounce test, and 30-second volleyball overhead passing test. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency distribution, the One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Pearson correlation, simple regression, and multiple regression. The results showed that all variables were normally distributed. Arm muscle strength was positively and significantly correlated with overhead passing ability (r = 0.657, p = 0.000), trunk flexibility was positively and significantly correlated with overhead passing ability (r = 0.457, p = 0.000), and eye-hand coordination was positively and significantly correlated with overhead passing ability (r = 0.589, p = 0.000). Simultaneously, the three predictors were significantly associated with overhead passing ability (R = 0.801, R Square = 0.642, F = 33.486, p = 0.000). These findings indicate that overhead passing ability is a multicomponent motor skill supported by strength, flexibility, and coordination. The study provides practical evidence for more targeted volleyball instruction and physical education assessment.     Passing overhead adalah keterampilan dasar bola voli yang memerlukan kekuatan lengan yang terkontrol, mobilitas batang tubuh yang memadai, koordinasi mata-tangan yang tepat, dan kontak yang stabil dengan bola. Penelitian ini menguji hubungan antara kekuatan otot lengan, kelenturan badan, dan koordinasi mata tangan dengan kemampuan passing atas pada siswa dalam konteks pembelajaran bola voli SMA Nasional Makassar. Desain deskriptif-korelasi kuantitatif digunakan dengan 60 catatan siswa yang valid. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes push up, tes fleksi batang tubuh ke depan, tes pantulan dinding, dan tes passing overhead bola voli 30 detik. Analisis data menggunakan statistik deskriptif, distribusi frekuensi, uji normalitas One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov, korelasi Pearson, regresi sederhana, dan regresi berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa seluruh variabel berdistribusi normal. Kekuatan otot lengan berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan kemampuan passing atas (r = 0.657, p = 0.000), kelenturan batang tubuh berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan kemampuan passing atas (r = 0.457, p = 0.000), dan koordinasi mata-tangan berhubungan positif dan signifikan dengan kemampuan passing atas (r = 0.589, p = 0.000). Secara simultan ketiga prediktor berhubungan signifikan dengan kemampuan passing atas (R = 0.801, R Square = 0.642, F = 33.486, p = 0.000). Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan passing atas merupakan keterampilan motorik multikomponen yang didukung oleh kekuatan, fleksibilitas, dan koordinasi. Studi ini memberikan bukti praktis untuk pengajaran bola voli dan penilaian pendidikan jasmani yang lebih bertarget.

Abstract

Pointing accuracy is a key technical component in petanque because successful performance requires integrated visual focus, postural balance, arm coordination, release control, and target orientation. This study examined the effectiveness of coordination training in improving pointing throw performance among Physical Education, Health, and Recreation students. A quantitative experimental approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design was applied. Participants were 20 students selected through total sampling who completed 12 coordination training sessions involving circular target drills, throwing-distance variation, rope obstacles, line targets, and structured repetitions. Data were collected using a seven-meter pointing test with six attempts and a maximum score of 30, then analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene’s test, and a paired sample t-test. The mean score increased from 11.35 to 17.15, with a mean gain of 5.80 points and a significant difference, t(19)=10.820; p<0.001. These findings indicate that coordination training effectively improves pointing accuracy and provides a practical strategy for developing target-based motor.

Abstract

Inside-foot passing is a fundamental technical skill in futsal because effective team play depends on accurate ball circulation, stable first-touch control, and quick execution in limited playing space. This study was conducted to address the suboptimal passing ability of Persera Ranga-Ranga futsal players, particularly in passing direction, ball control, force regulation, and consistency during basic technical actions. The study aimed to examine the effect of moving and stationary passing drills on players’ inside-foot passing ability. A quantitative quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was employed. The sample consisted of eight active Persera Ranga-Ranga players selected using total sampling. The intervention was implemented through fourteen training sessions combining stationary passing, paired passing, forward-moving passing, and group-based passing patterns. Data were collected using a 30-second passing and stopping test with a rebound wall positioned 2.5 meters from the kicking line. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, and a paired sample t-test. The findings showed that the mean score increased from 16.125 in the pretest to 21.375 in the posttest, with a mean gain of 5.250 points. The paired sample t-test confirmed a significant improvement, t (7) = 14.346, p < .001. These findings indicate that moving and stationary passing drills are an effective foundational training strategy for improving inside-foot passing ability in amateur futsal players.

Abstract

Effective badminton smash performance requires the integration of physical capacity, movement control, racket coordination, and the ability to generate a fast and accurate attacking stroke. This study examined the contribution of wrist flexibility and arm muscle strength to smash performance among players of Avanti Badminton Club Makassar. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design with a regression approach was used. The sample consisted of 40 badminton players, with complete valid data for all research variables. Wrist flexibility was measured using a flexiometer, arm muscle strength was measured using a 30-second push-up test, and smash performance was assessed using a badminton smash skill test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Pearson correlation, simple regression, and multiple regression. The results showed that wrist flexibility contributed significantly to smash performance, R = 0.802, R² = 0.643, p < 0.001. Arm muscle strength also showed a significant contribution, R = 0.815, R² = 0.665, p < 0.001. Simultaneously, both predictors explained 74.3% of the variance in smash performance, R = 0.862, R² = 0.743, F = 53.600, p < 0.001. These findings indicate that badminton smash performance is supported by the interaction between wrist mobility and upper-limb strength. Training programs should therefore combine arm-strength development, wrist-flexibility exercises, and smash-specific coordination drills.

Abstract

Badminton lob performance requires technical precision, upper-limb power, and the ability to direct the shuttlecock high and deep into the opponent’s backcourt. In university badminton training, lob ability is often practiced technically, yet the comparative effectiveness of specific upper-limb power exercises remains insufficiently documented through experimental evidence. This study examined the effects of full over and medicine ball training on badminton lob stroke performance among students of the Faculty of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Makassar. A quantitative field-experimental design with a randomized group pretest-posttest structure was used. Forty students who had programmed badminton coursework were selected through simple random sampling and divided into two matched groups: 20 students received full over training and 20 students received medicine ball training. The intervention lasted six weeks with 18 training sessions. Lob performance was measured using a badminton lob test before and after training. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality testing, Levene’s homogeneity testing, paired-samples t-tests, and an independent-samples t-test. Full over training increased mean lob performance from 11.10 to 20.75, t (19) = 19.554, p < .001, while medicine ball training increased mean performance from 11.30 to 17.70, t (19) = 14.054, p < .001. The posttest comparison showed a significant difference between groups, t (38) = 2.996, p = .005, favoring full over training. These findings indicate that both training methods improve lob performance, but full over training produces a stronger performance gain in this sample.

Abstract

Effective badminton smash performance depends on the integration of anthropometric characteristics, upper-limb strength, joint flexibility, and sport-specific stroke execution. This study examined the contribution of body height, arm muscle strength, and flexibility to badminton smash performance among students of the Faculty of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Makassar. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design with regression analysis was used. The sample consisted of 40 students who had programmed badminton coursework, selected through simple random sampling as reported in the source document. Body height was measured using an anthropometric height test, arm muscle strength was assessed through a 20-second push-up test, flexibility was measured using a backward trunk-flexibility test, and smash performance was evaluated using a badminton smash skill test with 10 scoring opportunities. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, Pearson correlation, simple regression, and multiple regression. The results showed that body height, arm muscle strength, and flexibility were positively and significantly correlated with smash performance. In the multiple regression model, the three predictors jointly explained 69.8% of the variance in smash performance, with arm muscle strength emerging as the strongest predictor. However, flexibility was not a significant partial predictor after body height and arm muscle strength were entered into the model. These findings indicate that badminton smash performance is supported primarily by upper-limb strength, while body height and flexibility contribute as complementary physical factors. Training and talent-development programs should therefore integrate strength development, anthropometric consideration, flexibility training, and smash-specific technical practice.
