Abstract

Not a few athletes experience stress during training or competing, which can happen to male and female athletes who are influenced by internal or external factors. However, each athlete has a different way of dealing with stress to get out of the existing pressure. This study aims to analyze how gender differences can affect the cognitive appraisal process of archery athletes in dealing with stress. The quantitative descriptive method with an ex-post facto research approach was used in this study involving 23 archery athletes from Bandung City. The instruments used in the study were the Cognitive Appraisal Rating Scale (CARS) questionnaire and the Brief-COPE Inventory Scale, which were given once to respondents. After the data was obtained, data analysis was carried out using the SPSS Version 29 linear regression test. The results of the study showed that there was a significant influence of cognitive appraisal on stress coping as a management strategy based on gender differences in archery athletes. This study concludes that cognitive appraisal has a significant influence on stress coping based on gender differences between men and women in archery athletes from Bandung City. So the author suggests paying more attention to the athlete's stress condition by conducting Psychological Skills Training (PST) if the athlete is already showing signs of stress.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of government training policies on the implementation of training in the three phases of an athlete’s career, namely junior, elite and post-retirement. The method used is a quantitative approach with data analysis of the level of training implementation associated with policy support at each stage. The sample size in this study was 35 respondents, divided by criteria into three groups: 15 junior athletes, 15 elite athletes, and 5 athletes approaching retirement. The results showed that in the junior and elite career periods, government training policies had a positive and significant influence on training implementation. Support in the form of training facilities, professional coaches, and access to international competitions proved to contribute in shaping athletes’ performance and competitiveness. In contrast, during the post-retirement period, training policies did not show a significant influence, given that the focus of former athletes had shifted from training activities to career transition and personal well-being. This finding indicates that training policies should be specifically designed based on the athlete’s career phase. The implication of this study is the need to formulate long-term oriented policies, not only to support coaching and achievement, but also to ensure the welfare of athletes after retirement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of stakeholders in the organization of multi-event sports competitions and evaluate the model of rewarding athletes by the central government in Indonesia. Through a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, this study involved informants from the Indonesian National Olympic Committee and the Ministry of Youth and Sports. The results show that multi-event management is divided into three main stages, namely preparation, execution, and post-event evaluation, with the NOC playing a central role in the coordination and execution of these activities. On the other hand, the rewarding models applied by the government include medal bonuses, appointment as civil servants, and special access to state agencies. This research recommends the development of a more comprehensive and sustainable reward system, including career transition support and post-retirement mentoring. The findings emphasize the importance of collaboration between stakeholders and policy reforms to support the development of national sports.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the performance of West Java swimming athletes in the 100-meter breaststroke event. This analysis is crucial given the importance of race analysis in competitive swimming and the limited specific studies on the breaststroke at the regional level. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, performance data from eight athletes (four male and four female) from the West Java Swimming Series 2025 were analyzed. The parameters measured included stroke count, stroke rate, stroke length, time per 10-meter segment, total race time, and speed per segment. The results indicate that DE (male) and AL (female) were the fastest overall swimmers. AL, in particular, demonstrated highly competitive performance, even outperforming several male swimmers. Analysis of split times revealed a progressive deceleration pattern from segment 1 to segment 4 in most athletes due to fatigue. However, DE and AL consistently maintained their speed in the final segments. In terms of stroke count, there was a tendency for an increase from SC 1 to SC 4, while the highest stroke rate was observed in SR 4. For stroke length, SL 1 had the highest average, and Velocity 1 recorded the highest average among the speed segments. Standard deviations indicated better performance consistency among male swimmers compared to female swimmers.
