Abstract

PETTLEP visualization is a mental training method that uses visualization techniques with a focus on seven main components: Physic, Environment, Task, Timing, Learning, Emotion, and Perspective. This practice aims to create a mental image that closely resembles the real situation during an activity or competition, helping to improve an athlete's performance and psychological aspects such as confidence and stress management. This study aims to determine the effect of PETTLEP-based visualization training on increasing the self-confidence of pencak silat athletes. Self-confidence is an important psychological aspect that influences an athlete's ability to manage stress, make the right decisions, and display optimal performance during competitions. The research method used a one-group pretest-posttest design with a sample of 13 athletes. The instrument used was a self-confidence questionnaire completed before and after the PETTLEP visualization intervention. The results of the descriptive analysis showed an increase in the average score from 32.15 in the pretest to 35.54 in the posttest. The normality test showed that the data were normally distributed, while the paired t-test showed a significance value of 0.000, confirming a difference in scores before and after the treatment. These findings prove that PETTLEP visualization training is effective in increasing the self-confidence of pencak silat athletes by helping them build stronger mental readiness, focus, and self-confidence. Therefore, PETTLEP visualization training is recommended for implementation in pencak silat athlete development programs.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge about physical activity and depression in the pre-elderly group in the working area of the Ledeng Community Health Center (Regional Technical Implementation Unit), Bandung City. The method used is a descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional approach, where data is collected over a period of time. The study sample consisted of 50 pre-elderly people aged 45–59 years selected using accidental sampling techniques. The instruments used included a questionnaire on the level of knowledge of physical activity and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge of physical activity (56%) and experienced minimal depression (82%). Statistical tests showed a relationship between knowledge of physical activity and levels of depression in the pre-elderly (p = 0.000). These results indicate that the better the pre-elderly people's understanding of physical activity, the less prone they are to developing depression. Thus, efforts to improve health education regarding the importance of physical activity need to be strengthened as a strategy to prevent depression and improve well-being in the pre-elderly group.

Abstract

To achieve optimal performance in training and competition, internal dialogue and emotional regulation are two important aspects that need to be considered. Research on the relationship between self-talk and emotional regulation shows that self-talk plays a role in improving emotional control, reducing anxiety, and helping athletes maintain focus when facing competitive pressure. Specifically in volleyball, athletes often find it difficult to regulate their emotions and self-talk, which prevents them from performing at their best. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-talk and emotional regulation in volleyball athletes in West Bandung Regency. A quantitative descriptive method with a correlational design was used in this study. Twenty-four volleyball athletes from West Bandung Regency participated in this study as samples. A questionnaire to measure self-talk and emotional regulation was given to the samples once. After that, the data were processed and analyzed using SPSS Version 25. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between self-talk and emotional regulation among volleyball athletes. This study concluded that self-talk plays an important role in regulating the emotions of volleyball athletes in West Bandung Regency to achieve their desired goals, namely performance.

Abstract

The increase in cases of overweight and obesity among adolescents is a serious challenge for public health in Indonesia. Low physical activity, high-calorie diets, and lack of nutritional knowledge are the main factors that affect the body composition and nutritional status of adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity on the body composition of students at Yasfi Bekasi High School. The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design on 114 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected through a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and an exercise intensity instrument, while body composition was measured using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. Data analysis was performed descriptively and bivariately using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good nutritional knowledge (85.1%) and high physical activity (64.9%). A significant relationship was found between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity with nutritional status (p < 0.05). Students with good nutritional knowledge and high physical activity tended to have a normal Body Mass Index (BMI), while respondents with low activity showed a tendency toward overweight. In conclusion, good nutritional knowledge, regular physical activity, and sufficient exercise intensity are an important combination in maintaining ideal body composition in adolescents. These findings emphasize the need for integrated nutrition education and physical activity promotion programs in schools to foster healthy lifestyles from an early age.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management and procurement strategies for agility and strength training equipment in an effort to improve athlete performance at the PS. Palas Football Development Center in Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra. The main problem underlying this research is the limited training facilities and infrastructure, as well as the suboptimal strategy for managing and procuring training equipment that can support athlete achievement. This study uses a mixed methods research method with a sequential explanatory design, which begins with the collection and analysis of quantitative data through questionnaires, then continues with in-depth qualitative data through interviews and observations. The research subjects included 20 athletes, 5 coaches, and 5 club managers. The results show that the level of need for agility and strength training equipment is in the high category (85%), while the level of availability of facilities and infrastructure is still in the medium category (60%). Effective management strategies include planning training programs based on needs, optimal scheduling of equipment use, and routine equipment maintenance. Meanwhile, the procurement strategy is carried out with a collaborative approach through cooperation with local governments, sponsors, and local sports organizations. The implementation of this strategy has been proven to improve athlete performance, as indicated by a 20% increase in fitness test results and basic soccer technical skills after the program was implemented.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze physical activity, gross motor skills, and social skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to examine the relationship between these three variables. This study used a descriptive quantitative method involving nine children with ASD at SLB-D YPAC Bandung. Physical activity was measured using ActiGraph GT3X for seven days, motor skills were assessed through long jump, ball throw, 10-meter run, and balance tests, while social skills were measured using the Social Skills Questionnaire (SSQ). Data were analyzed descriptively and using Spearman's correlation to examine the relationship between variables. The results showed that the level of physical activity among children with ASD tended to be low, gross motor skills varied between individuals, and social skills were in the moderate category. Correlation analysis showed no strong relationship between physical activity, motor skills, and social skills, reflecting the diversity of developmental characteristics in children with ASD. However, these three aspects remain important to improve through structured interventions tailored to individual needs. These findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach in supporting the physical, motor, and social development of children with ASD.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between leg muscle power, arm muscle power, and anthropometry with the speed of the ball resulting from an open spike in athletes from the Sumedang Integrated Indonesian Volleyball Generation School. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The sample consisted of 21 athletes, with leg muscle power measured using the Vertical Jump Test, arm muscle power measured using an 8-second push-up test, and anthropometric data obtained through Karada Scan. The speed of the open spike ball was measured using a Speed Radar Gun. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, Pearson or Spearman correlations, and multiple regression with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that arm muscle power, height, weight, and body muscle mass were significantly related to ball speed, while several other variables such as leg power (Spearman), leg muscle mass, and BMI showed no significant relationship. Multiple regression analysis shows that the three independent variables simultaneously contribute 45.4% to ball speed. This finding confirms that spike performance is the result of an interaction between muscle strength and anthropometric characteristics. This study recommends a training program that focuses on strengthening the arm muscles, developing core strength, and managing body composition to improve spike speed in volleyball athletes.

Abstract

The study examined the prevalence and correlates of self-handicapping tendencies among physical education preservice teachers from one university. The participants were a purposive sample of physical education preservice teachers (67% male and 33% female) from one university in  midwestern United States. An adapted version of the short version of the Self-Handicapping Scale (SHS) served as the data source. The SHS score served as the response variable. The predictor variables were gender, the number of credit hours attempted, the number of credit hours passed, the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA), and GPA in the physical education content area. Results showed that 11.11% of the participants reported high levels of self-handicapping tendencies. The SHS had significantly low negative correlations with two predictors: the number of credit hours attempted and the number of credit hours passed. Conversely, SHS showed moderate significant positive correlations with cumulative GPA and the GPA in the physical education content area. The SHS scores for males and females were similar.Teacher education programs can help future teachers adopt coping strategies, thereby reducing their tendency to engage in self-handicapping strategies
