Abstract

In the era of global competition, the development of professional competencies of female workers faces specific challenges that require innovative approaches. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of experiential learning interventions through outbound activities in improving emotional intelligence and competitiveness of female workers. This study is motivated by the need of Daya Group Honda to develop female workers into division leaders in branches spread across West Java through the DBMP (Daya Basic Management Program). This study uses an experiential learning approach applied in outbound activities as a learning method through direct experience followed by structured reflection. Outbound activities were chosen because they offer a comprehensive framework for developing cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects simultaneously in a structured outdoor environment. This study involved 16 female employees from Daya Cipta Motor Group Honda Bandung who participated in a two-week experiential learning program through outbound activities. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires on emotional intelligence and competitiveness and analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results revealed a significant improvement in emotional intelligence, while competitiveness showed no significant change. Theoretically, this study reinforces the development of Experiential Learning theory in the context of female human resource development. Practically, the findings provide valuable insights for the Ministry of Manpower and company management in formulating effective, evidence-based training programs that enhance emotional intelligence and promote sustainable competitiveness among female workers.  The formulation of the research problem includes two main aspects: (1) the effect of experiential learning interventions through outbound activities on emotional intelligence of female workers, (2) the effect on competitiveness of female workers.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the pros and cons of the discourse on the implementation of the latest pencak silat regulations passed by PERSILAT in 2021. The research method used was a mixed approach with a sequential exploratory model, beginning with qualitative analysis through documentation of public comments on social media, followed by a quantitative survey of administrators, coaches, athletes, and academics focused on pencak silat. The results indicate that the majority of respondents disapproved of the new rules. They argued that the rules failed to meet the expectations of practitioners, imitated other martial arts systems and risked diminishing the cultural uniqueness of pencak silat. When considering the pros and cons, this study revealed that those in favour of the new rules appreciated the efforts to modernise and internationalise pencak silat, particularly through technological integration, such as the use of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. Meanwhile, the contra group argued that the new regulations made the competition more complex and unsafe, and detached it from its traditional identity. Quantitatively, 83.4% of respondents favoured the old 2013 rules, while only 16.6% supported the new ones, emphasising a strong preference for preserving the sport's originality. These findings highlight the importance of a thorough review and stakeholder engagement before the new regulations are implemented more widely, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

Volleyball requires mastery of basic techniques such as serving, passing, setting, smashing, and blocking. However, many players on the field have difficulty mastering these skills due to monotonous training methods. This study used a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design. The sample consisted of 40 students from the Dogiyai dormitory in Jayapura City who were selected using purposive sampling. The resistance band training program was implemented for six weeks with a frequency of three times per week, including serving, passing, setting, and smashing exercises. Data were obtained through a basic volleyball skills test, then analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and paired sample t-tests with the help of SPSS 22.0. The results showed an increase in the average score from 15.60 in the pretest to 17.75 in the posttest with a difference of 2.15 points. Normality and homogeneity tests showed that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest. The use of resistance bands significantly improved basic volleyball technical skills among students at the Dogiyai dormitory in Jayapura City. These findings provide practical insights for coaches and educational institutions in designing more varied, effective, and efficient training methods.

Abstract

Leg muscle power is a crucial physical component for swimmers, determining initial acceleration during starts and turns. This study explicitly analyzed the effect of a structured pulley training program on the leg muscle power of 30 swimmers at the Bekasi Olympic Aquatic Club, where limitations in this area were previously identified. Using a quasi-experimental, one-group pre-test-post-test design, athletes underwent a 14-day combined land and water pulley training intervention. Leg power was directly measured via Vertical Jump (VJ), while its functional impact was measured by 50-meter butterfly swim time. A Paired-Samples T-Test revealed two significant outcomes: first, a highly significant increase in leg power, evidenced by a 2.30 cm average increase in VJ height (t(29) = -8.460, p < .001); and second, a highly significant improvement in swim performance (t(29) = 6.565, p < .001). It is concluded that pulley training is a valid and effective intervention. These dual findings provide strong empirical evidence for coaches to implement this program to optimize athletes' fundamental physical capabilities and directly enhance competitive performance

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of handpaddle use on 50-meter freestyle sprint speed in female novice athletes from the PRI Aquarius Club Bandung. The background of this study is based on the importance of speed as a primary indicator of swimming performance, where arm muscle strength and stroke technique efficiency are determining factors. Handpaddles were chosen as a training medium because they provide additional resistance that can increase strength while improving stroke technique. The research method used an experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The study sample consisted of 10 athletes selected by purposive sampling and divided into two groups: the experimental group with handpaddle training and the group without handpaddles. The research instrument was a 50-meter freestyle swimming speed test with a digital stopwatch. The results showed that the group training with handpaddles experienced a more significant increase in speed than the group without handpaddles. These findings indicate that handpaddles are effective as a training medium for increasing arm muscle strength, technique efficiency, and maintaining sprint speed until the final phase of the race. This study confirms the novelty of the 50-meter sprint distance focus and the benefits of handpaddles in maintaining performance in the critical phase of the race.

Abstract

Strength is very important for achieving optimal performance in sports, serving to develop other biomotor components. A lack of maximum strength will have an impact on the decline of biomotor components and increase the risk. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was an effect of the combination of hypertrophy-neural training and neural training methods on the increase in maximum leg muscle strength in Muay Thai athletes. This study employed an experimental method with a quantitative approach, using a two-group pre-test post-test design. It involved 30 Muay Thai athletes at Ares Fighting Camp, and the sample selection used total sampling. The treatment consisted of 18 sessions at the beginning and end of the sample period, with a Leg Dynamometer test administered to determine the components of leg muscle strength in the sample. After the data was obtained, the Mann-Whitney hypothesis test yielded a statistical Sig value (2-tailed) of 0.360, which was greater than the probability value of 0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there was no difference in the effect of the combination of neural hypertrophy training and neural training methods on increasing the maximum leg muscle strength of Muay Thai athletes. It is recommended that coaches and athletes increase maximum leg muscle strength using the neural hypertrophy combination training method because it targets the desired physiological adaptation by combining two training phases: the hypertrophy phase to increase muscle volume/strength and the neural phase to increase nerve activation efficiency and compact the body so that strength can be increased while adding muscle volume.

Abstract

Physical literacy is a holistic ability that encompasses physical, cognitive, and affective dimensions, playing an important role in encouraging lifelong participation in physical activities. This study aims to analyze changes in the physical literacy of elementary school students in Gunungpati District, Semarang City, over a period of two academic years. The research design used was a pure longitudinal study involving public elementary school students (n = 99) who were selected purposively. Physical literacy was measured using a combination of objective tests (TIAMSA, PACER, 30-second sit-ups) for the physical dimension and perception questionnaires for the cognitive and affective dimensions. The analysis was conducted using a paired sample t-test for inter-year comparisons and a Linear Mixed Model (LMM) to control for individual and school variations. The results showed a significant increase in total physical literacy scores (Mean Difference = p < 0.05), with the most consistent upward trend in the physical dimension (p < 0.01), while the cognitive and affective dimensions showed fluctuations and were not always significant (p > 0.05). LMM analysis confirmed the effect of time on physical literacy, but there was a lack of parallel development across dimensions. In conclusion, students' physical literacy improved, especially in physical abilities, while non-physical dimensions required special attention. This study is novel because it combines objective and subjective assessments in a longitudinal design in Indonesia and provides important empirical insights for holistic physical education policy.
