<![CDATA[This study aims to identify perceived barriers and evaluate 24-hour physical activity behavior in middle and high school students. The phenomenon of declining participation in physical activity among adolescents is a concern, considering its impact on physical and mental health. This study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive design, involving 100 students in Subang Regency as the research sample. The instruments used included a physical activity barriers questionnaire and a 24-hour movement behavior questionnaire. The results of the Spearman correlation test showed a significant relationship between barriers and low involvement in physical activity, with a value of r = 0.325 and a significance of p = 0.001. The most common barriers found were lack of sports facilities, academic pressure, and minimal social support. This study confirms that although students are aware of the importance of physical activity, external and internal barriers remain a barrier. Therefore, interventions should include providing a supportive environment both at school and at home. Understanding 24-hour movement behavior patterns is also needed to design an integrated healthy living strategy. The results of this study are expected to be the basis for policy making in increasing adolescent physical activity in a sustainable manner. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to obtain data as a basis for evaluating and improving smash technique training of male athletes at the BVC Club in Balangan District to serve as a reference in designing a more focused and athlete-needs-based training program. The method used is quantitative method with total sampling technique on 12 male athletes. The data collection instrument consists of a smash skill test based on the reference by Tantri & Mashud (2023). The results of the study indicate that 41.66% of athletes (5 individuals) are in the very good category, 16.67% (2 individuals) in the good category, 16.67% (2 individuals) in the medium category, and 25% (3 individuals) in the poor category, with no athletes in the very poor category. These findings suggest that some athletes have mastered smash technique well, but there are still a significant number of athletes who require special attention in mastering the technique, particularly in terms of power, attack angle, and shot accuracy. This study recommends the need for regular evaluations and the development of more structured and individually tailored technical training programs to improve overall smash performance. ]]>

<![CDATA[This study focuses on analyzing the relationship between the release angle and the success rate of shooting in the free throw technique in basketball. The study was conducted on members of the Mitra Satu Basketball club using a quantitative descriptive approach. A total of 10 players performed 10 free throw attempts, resulting in a total of 100 shooting data that were analyzed using Kinovea software to measure the release angle, and the chi-square test to determine the relationship between the angle and the success rate of the shot. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between the range of the release angle and the success rate of shooting (p = 0.009). The angle range of 40–49 degrees produced the highest success rate, which was 48.4%, compared to other angle ranges. This study confirms that the release angle plays an important role in determining shooting accuracy, and certain angles can provide biomechanical advantages for players. Thus, coaches and athletes are advised to focus shooting training on achieving optimal angles and utilizing movement analysis to improve technique consistency. This study also opens up opportunities for further research involving a larger sample size and additional variables, such as throwing distance, which was not examined in this study but could significantly contribute to a deeper understanding of shooting performance in basketball. ]]>

<![CDATA[The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the awarding of academic achievement awards to student athletes and their academic performance. The researcher used a quantitative approach with a questionnaire survey that was correlated with the student athletes’ report card grades. The sample in this study consisted of 146 student athletes at Junior High School 1 Baleendah. The results of the study indicate that there is a positive and significant correlation between the awarding of scholarships and academic performance. Scholarships, pocket money, and medals awarded by the organizers of competitions can improve the quality of student athletes’ learning at school, enabling their academic performance to compete with that of regular students, even though competitions do not hinder their learning. This study indicates that being both a student and an athlete does not hinder students from achieving academic success but rather serves as motivation for student athletes to strive harder for academic achievements. The implications of this study are that the athlete class program should be implemented more widely, especially in Bandung Regency, to encourage student athletes to be more active in academic pursuits so they can achieve both academic and sports achievements, and for schools to provide adequate facilities for student athletes. ]]>

<![CDATA[Agility is a very important physical component in futsal, where the ability to change direction quickly and accurately determines the performance of athletes on the field. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of ABC Running Drill and Hexagon Drill exercises on increasing the agility of male futsal athletes. This study uses an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach. The study population was male futsal athletes from Al Azhar 5 Islamic High School Cirebon with a sample of 15 athletes. Agility was measured using the Agility T-Test before and after the intervention in the form of a combination of ABC Running Drill and Hexagon Drill exercises for six weeks with 2 meetings per week. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. The results showed a significant increase in agility with a decrease in the average travel time from 13.48 seconds in the pretest to 10.90 seconds in the posttest (difference of 2.58 seconds). All study subjects who were initially in the “poor” category (>12.5 seconds) experienced an improvement in performance with a posttest time range between 9.61-11.84 seconds. The data had a normal distribution based on the Shapiro-Wilk test (p-value > 0.05) and showed a decrease in standard deviation from 5.62 to 3.59, indicating an improvement in performance consistency between athletes. The combination of ABC Running Drill and Hexagon Drill exercises has proven to be effective in significantly increasing the agility of male futsal athletes. This training method can be implemented as an effective training strategy to develop the agility skills of futsal athletes, especially for athletes with low initial agility performance. ]]>

<![CDATA[West Java is endowed with diverse natural landscapes—mountains, rivers, and forests—that offer strong potential for the development of sport tourism. As interest in nature-based and adventure tourism grows, especially among younger generations, the region has an opportunity to foster innovative and sustainable tourism models. This study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to explore perceptions and challenges related to sport tourism in West Java. The research involved university students with a demonstrated interest in tourism and sports, selected for their responsiveness to emerging travel trends. Data were collected through questionnaires focusing on two key dimensions: natural potential and development challenges. Findings show that students generally view West Java as highly suitable for sport tourism, citing its natural richness and varied landscapes. However, several obstacles were identified, including inadequate infrastructure, limited safety regulations, and weak digital promotion. These challenges suggest the need for a more integrated strategy that aligns environmental potential with institutional and promotional support. Strengthening both ecological and managerial aspects will be essential in positioning sport tourism as a prominent driver of regional development and identity in West Java. ]]>
