Abstract

Early childhood sports coaching management requires a data-driven evaluation system to ensure the sustainability of achievement. This study aims to descriptively analyze the training scores of early age archery athletes as part of the controlling function in sports management. The research method used was quantitative descriptive with a sample of Zen Archery Club athletes. The results of the analysis showed an average score of 234.2 with a standard deviation of 54.2. The findings of the study identified a gap in ability between Recurve athletes (highest score of 315) and Barebow division novice athletes. The percentage of athletes in the "medium" category reached 44%, which indicates the availability of a large stock of potential athletes. The implication of this study is the importance of performance data management as a basis for decision-making for coaches and club managers in developing the next stage of training programs.

Abstract

In sports management in schools, objectivity in the athlete selection process is often compromised due to the lack of use of measurable and scientific-based physical data. In archery, aerobic capacity, especially VO₂max, plays an important role in maintaining physical stability, concentration, and heart rate stability during matches. This study aims to implement VO₂max audit as a strategic instrument in the selection, evaluation, and monitoring of archery athletes at SMK Negeri Bali Mandara. A descriptive quantitative approach was used with 21 archery athletes. VO₂max was measured using the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). The results showed that athletes' aerobic capacity ranged from 22.93 to 38.84 ml/kg/min, with the majority (52.4%) in the "Adequate" category. These findings indicate that most athletes still need to improve their physical condition. The data from this fitness audit can be used as a basis for grouping more effective and directed training programs. In addition, the VO₂max audit provides a scientific foundation for more transparent, objective, and accountable managerial decision-making in the school sports environment.

Abstract

This study analyzed the performance of an ultra-trail runner in two races (62 km and 50 km) using a wearable device (Coros Pace 3). The subject was a 26-year-old male runner with more than four years of experience in ultra-trail running. Parameters examined were pace, heart rate (HR), and elevation. The results showed that elevation strongly influenced both pace and HR, with more conservative pacing observed in the 62 km race and more aggressive early effort in the 50 km race. The analysis was conducted descriptively and through a regression model with elevation control as a covariate. The results showed an oscillatory pacing pattern influenced by elevation contours, with HR increasing significantly in uphill segments. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive pacing strategies  based on elevation profiles and suggest that wearable data can provide practical insights for training and competition. Runners need to know the details of the race track, including distance and elevation, and train in conditions similar to the actual track so that physiological adaptations occur and they can achieve their best performance during the race.

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is considered an important psychological factor in sports performance; however, its role may vary depending on sport characteristics and competitive demands. This study aimed to compare emotional intelligence between athletes in a non-contact sport (table tennis) and a contact sport (taekwondo), and to examine the association between emotional intelligence and athletic achievement. A quantitative comparative–correlational design was employed involving 95 athletes (49 table tennis; 46 taekwondo) from West Java, Indonesia. Emotional intelligence was measured using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), while athletic achievement was assessed through a structured scoring system based on official competition medals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, and correlation analyses. Descriptive results indicated that table tennis athletes had a higher mean EI score (M = 93.53, SD = 10.24) compared to taekwondo athletes (M = 88.73, SD = 15.23). However, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.076). Correlation analysis revealed a positive but weak association between emotional intelligence and athletic achievement (Pearson r = 0.285; Spearman ρ = 0.199). These findings suggest that emotional intelligence contributes to athletic performance as a supportive factor, but it is not a sole determinant of achievement. Athletic success is influenced by multiple interacting factors, including technical skills, physical condition, training experience, and competitive exposure. Therefore, athlete development programs should integrate psychological training alongside physical and technical preparation in a balanced and sport-specific manner.

Abstract

The lack of varied instructional media in Physical Education (PJOK) causes low student motivation and movement participation. This study aims to develop and test the feasibility and effectiveness of the ABCS (Agility, Balance, Coordination, Strength) learning media innovation. The approach used is Research and Development (R&D) adopting Sugiyono's methodology. Data evaluation involved feasibility validation by three experts (material, media, practitioner) and field trials on a small scale (67 students) and a large scale (173 students) using questionnaires. The results showed that expert validation reached an average of 93.33% (Very Feasible). During field trials, implementation effectiveness increased significantly from 84.29% (small scale) to 91.53% (large scale), with the highest surge in the affective aspect (91.94%). The use of four-color stimuli and integrated barcode tutorials successfully broke the monotony and boosted students' enthusiasm. In conclusion, the ABCS media is highly feasible, practical, and effective as a pedagogical solution to optimize physical fitness learning.

Abstract

This technique is crucial, but problems arise from insufficient rotation speed, which affects accuracy. In reality, many beginner table tennis players and UKM members still experience difficulties in producing consistent serves, especially with variations in spin and precise ball placement. Observations during the UKM training program indicate that many students struggle to control the ball''s direction, vary its spin, and maintain consistency in their service strokes. This research design uses a quasi-experimental type of research, design the Non-Equivalent Control Design Group is the most frequently used design in social research. This design is where the experimental group is influenced by a particular variable by involving a non-randomly selected control group, measured before and after the intervention. The sample used in this study consisted of 22, the experimental and control groups were divided equally, with 11 participants per variable class. The results of the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed that the covariate variable (pretest) had a significant effect on the posttest score, F (1,39) 8.224 p 0.007. After controlling for the influence of the pretest score, the posttest score experienced a significant difference, F (3,39) 13.605 p 0.001 partial N2 0.511. However, from an inferential perspective, the statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p0.05). This indicates that the effectiveness of the New Spin Wheel method has not been proven strongly at the 5% significance level. This insignificance may be influenced by several methodological factors, including the relatively small sample size, differences in initial ability levels between the groups, and limited control of variables in a quasi-experimental design.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of resistance band training and ankle weights on the front kick speed of pencak silat athletes at the Tri Gerak Sakti in North Jakarta. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 12 female athletes divided into two groups, namely the resistance band training group (n = 6) and the ankle training group (n = 6). The instrument used was a 10-second front kick speed test. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test hypothesis testing with the help of SPSS version 22 at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that both groups experienced an increase in average scores from pretest to posttest. The resistance band group increased from a mean of 20.33 to 23.67, while the ankle group increased from a mean of 19.83 to 22.67. The hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05 in both groups, so that resistance band training and ankle weights had a significant effect on increasing front kick speed. Furthermore, resistance band training provided greater gains than ankle weights. Therefore, both training methods can be used in pencak silat training programs to improve the biomotor component of an athlete's front kick speed.

Abstract

Increasing public awareness of healthy lifestyles has encouraged more people to engage in physical activity, particularly exercise programs aimed at reducing body fat. However, there is still debate regarding which type of exercise is more effective for improving body composition. This study aimed to analyze and compare the effectiveness of strength training and cardio training on body fat reduction among members of Bodyhaus Gym in Semarang. This research employed a quantitative experimental approach using a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 gym members who were participating in a weight-loss program. Data were collected through body composition measurements using a Body Composition Analyzer, including body fat percentage, body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and muscle mass before and after a one-month training program conducted four times per week. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test followed by nonparametric tests, including the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test. The results showed that both strength training and cardio training significantly affected body fat reduction. Cardio training was more effective in reducing body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage, whereas strength training was more effective in increasing muscle mass. In conclusion, both training methods contribute to improving body composition, but each provides different physiological adaptations depending on the training objectives
