Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of battle ropes training on the long throw-in ability of football athletes. The study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 12 male football athletes from Jasukars FC. The training program was carried out for 16 meetings over four weeks with variations of Power Slams, Double Waves, Jumping Slams, Plank Battle Ropes, and Squat to Waves exercises. Data were collected using the Throw-in Distance Measurement instrument and analyzed through the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in long throw-in ability after being given battle ropes training. This increase was caused by the development of upper body strength, explosive power, and core muscle stability produced through dynamic and isometric contractions during the exercise. These findings reinforce that battle ropes training is able to provide specific motor transfer to throw-in mechanics, thereby increasing throwing efficiency and distance. Thus, battle ropes training is recommended as an effective alternative in developing functional strength and throw-in ability for football athletes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of plyometric training in improving strength and agility, as well as to compare the extent to which plyometric exercises are more effective than conventional training methods. The research employed an experimental approach designed to identify causal relationships between the treatment and the measured outcomes. The study utilized a Pretest Posttest One Group Design, in which measurements were conducted both before and after the intervention. The research sample comprised 20 students actively participating in the volleyball extracurricular program. The research instruments included a leg dynamometer to assess lower-limb muscle strength and a zig-zag test to evaluate participants’ agility levels. The findings revealed significant differences between the pretest and posttest results for both dependent variables strength and agility. The obtained significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) indicates that the implemented training programs, namely the box drill and flog jump exercises, had a substantial impact on enhancing the participants’ physical performance. Therefore, it can be concluded that plyometric training has a positive influence and statistical impact on increasing strength and agility. Overall, this study reaffirms that plyometric training is an effective and efficient method for enhancing physical capabilities, making it highly recommended for inclusion in athletic conditioning and performance development programs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the risk level of exercise posture on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at the Faculty of Sports and Health Science , Makassar State University (UNM). Petanque requires athletes to perform repetitive movements and maintain certain body positions, especially when throwing, which can potentially cause musculoskeletal disorders. This study employs a descriptive observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained through direct observation of athletes' working posture during activities and analysed using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method to assess the level of posture risk for musculoskeletal complaints. The results of the analysis showed that most athletes were in the low to moderate risk category, especially in the back, upper arm and wrist, caused by non-ergonomic body positions when throwing. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the posture of petanque athletes contributes to an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders, thus requiring attention to the application of ergonomic principles and improvement of posture techniques in training to reduce the potential for musculoskeletal injuries.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of power training using a medicine ball on improving long throw-in ability in football athletes. The research method used was an experiment with a one-group pretest–posttest design, involving 12 active male football athletes in the UPI Football Student Activity Unit aged 18–20 years who play the positions of fullback and winger. The training program was carried out for 16 sessions using the set system method, including the Overhead Medicine Ball Throw, Chest Pass to Wall, Rotational Throw, and Medicine Ball Slams movements with a load of 4–5 kg and explosive intensity. The instrument used was the Throw-in Distance Measurement Test to measure the throwing distance. The Pretest score had an average (mean) of 17.11 with a standard deviation of 2.85, while the Posttest score had an average of 19.01 with a standard deviation of 3.10. The results showed a significant increase in long throw-in ability after being given training using a medicine ball. This increase occurred because the training was able to develop functional arm, shoulder, and core muscle strength through explosive movements that resemble real throwing techniques. It can be concluded that power training using a medicine ball is an effective and applicable method to improve long throw-in ability in football athletes.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the MMC-Circuit Model, a Tarung Derajat training approach designed to improve athletes’ technical skills and discipline. The model is based on the philosophy of Muscle, Mind, and Conscience, integrating technical, physical, and mental components into a structured 12-station circuit training format. The research involved 20 athletes in a small-scale trial and 40 athletes in a large-scale trial over eight weeks. Quantitative results showed significant improvements in athletes’ technical performance, with punching and kicking skills increasing by 19–21%, and a reduction in rule violations by 55%. The model’s overall feasibility was rated 91% (very feasible) by experts. The t-test analysis indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest results (p < 0.05), while correlation tests showed a strong negative relationship (r = –0.721) between rule compliance and the number of violations. Qualitative feedback revealed enhanced confidence, focus, motivation, and understanding of competition ethics among athletes. These findings demonstrate that the MMC-Circuit Model effectively enhances technical skills, physical readiness, and discipline, while promoting the core values of Tarung Derajat. The model provides a practical, holistic, and sustainable framework for developing athletes in free-fight competitions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of self-talk training on improving the self-confidence of Pencak Silat athletes. Self-confidence is an essential psychological factor influencing athletic performance, while self-talk is a mental training technique that helps regulate thoughts and emotions through positive internal dialogue. This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design involving 21 Pencak Silat athletes from Junior high school  46 Jakarta. The intervention consisted of eight self-talk sessions over four weeks focusing on education, practice, and reflection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26. The average self-confidence score at the pretest was 33.52 with a standard deviation of 3.842, while at the posttest it increased to 38.57 with a standard deviation of 3.501. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that both pretest and posttest data were normally distributed (p > 0.05), and the Levene’s Test indicated homogeneous variance (p = 0.567). The paired sample t-test produced a significance value of p = 0.000, indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. These findings demonstrate that self-talk training effectively increases athletes’ self-confidence, emotional control, and focus, making it a practical psychological strategy to improve mental readiness and performance in Pencak Silat athletes.

Abstract

This study's aim was to investigate the factors social support and personality contribute to the motivation of adolescent sportsmen. The research method used is quantitative, with descriptive correlative type. Subject of the study is 121 students of Junior high school 1 Lengkong, Sukabumi Regency. The measurements were composed of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD) for personality, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) for social support, and the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) for exercise motivation. Data were analyzed using the Spearman and multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that social support and personality significantly contribute to the exercise motivation (t = 7.667; p = 0.000 and, t = 2.512; p = 0.013 respectively) and concurrently both play meaningful roles on the exercise motivation (F = 31.454; p = 0.000). The value of R² is 0.348; that is,34.8% of variation between adolescents' sports motivation was explained by the personality and social support variables, while the other remaining 65.2% could be attributed to other factors. Thus it can also be suggested that in enhancing sports motivation during adolescence, social support is more important than personality.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of arm muscle strength, jump height, and height on the accuracy of basketball shots in students aged 12-15 years. The research problem arises from the gap between students' high enthusiasm for basketball and the inconsistent shooting results they achieve. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects consisted of 34 male students from Public Middle School 22 Semarang who were selected randomly. The data collection involved physical fitness assessments, such as push-ups to measure arm muscle strength, vertical jumps to gauge jumping proficiency, height measurements with a stadiometer, and shooting tests utilizing a jump. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, which included descriptive tests, prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity), and multiple linear regression. The results showed a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.147, indicating that the three variables collectively contributed only 14.7% to shooting ability. The ANOVA test yielded a significance value of 0.183, which is greater than 0.05, and the partial test also showed no significant effect from each independent variable. These findings suggest that shooting success in adolescents is more influenced by factors such as mastery of basic techniques, movement coordination, and training experience.

Abstract

The present study examines the dynamics of interpersonal communication between coaches and athletes and its influence on achievement motivation in the context of woodball, a developing sport in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from 10 athletes and 2 coaches in Blora Regency through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews. The findings reveal that interpersonal communication—particularly openness, empathy, clarity, and supportiveness—has a substantial impact on enhancing athletes’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The study also identifies challenges such as cultural hierarchies, limited communication training, and resource constraints that affect coach–athlete interactions. These findings underline the importance of communication competence in sports coaching, particularly in less mainstream sports where formal institutional support is limited. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating interpersonal communication skills into coaching education and for further research on communication-driven athlete development in Indonesia.
