Abstract

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of two service techniques, namely flat serve and spin serve, on direct point acquisition in a simulated tennis match situation. The subjects of the study consisted of 20 male junior tennis players, aged 14–16 years, who were divided into two groups based on service technique. Each group was to use one type of serve consistently during three sets of simulated matches. The variables observed included the number of direct points, service speed, accuracy, rally length, and number of double faults. The results of the independent t-test analysis showed that the flat serve group scored a higher average direct points mean, 9.2; SD = 2.15, than the spin serve group mean, 6.8; SD 1.69, with a t-value = 2.74; p = 0.013. Supporting analysis also showed that the flat serve had higher speed, while the spin serve was superior in accuracy and rally duration. These findings indicate that the flat serve is more effective for a fast point scoring strategy, while the spin serve is more suitable for long rallies and game control. Therefore, coaches are advised to integrate service variation training as part of the development of athletes’ playing strategies.

Abstract

Volleyball is a game that is played continuously with short durations and high intensity, interspersed with brief recovery periods that occur sequentially during the match. The characteristics of the volleyball game require high endurance, making aerobic endurance training essential for the sustainability of athletes in developing their abilities, skills, and bodily endurance in order to adapt to the game which is played continuously with high intensity. This study aims to determine the effect of circuit training methods on the improvement of aerobic endurance. The method used is an experiment with a one-group pre-test and post-test design, with a sample size of 20 students aged 10-12 years who are active in the volleyball extracurricular at Limbangan Tengah 2 Elementary School. The research results show that there is a significant effect of circuit training methods on improving aerobic endurance in volleyball players aged 10-12 years. This is indicated by the average pretest score of 25.9850 and a posttest score of 42.8000, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.005. Thus it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the results of training with the circuit training method on the pretest and posttest data. Therefore, the circuit training method is very effective in improving aerobic endurance, which combines strength and endurance training by completing one group or circuit of exercises with minimal or no rest.

Abstract

This study addresses the low levels of student motivation and participation commonly observed in physical education classes. Traditional teacher-centered methods often fail to engage all students, resulting in passive learning environments. To overcome this challenge, the Jigsaw-type cooperative learning model was implemented to encourage active student involvement and boost learning enthusiasm. The research was conducted in a junior high school setting, targeting eighth-grade students as the object of study. The primary aim of this research is to examine the effectiveness of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model in increasing students’ motivation and participation during physical education lessons. A classroom action research design was employed, involving two cycles with stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation sheets, student questionnaires, and teacher field notes, and then analyzed descriptively. The results indicate a significant improvement in both student motivation and participation from the first to the second cycle. In the initial observation, student participation was limited, and motivation levels were low. However, after the implementation of the Jigsaw method, students demonstrated increased engagement, collaboration, and enthusiasm in physical activities. In conclusion, the Jigsaw-type cooperative learning model proves to be an effective instructional strategy to enhance students’ motivation and participation in physical education. This approach not only fosters a more interactive learning environment but also supports the development of social and teamwork skills among students.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of jumping and throwing park games on improving basic motor skills of junior high school students. The research method used is an experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of two classes, each consisting of 30 students, divided into experimental and control groups. The instrument used refers to the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) to measure jumping, throwing, and balance abilities. The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant increase in the post-test results of the experimental group compared to the control group (p = 0.000). Jumping and throwing park games have proven effective in integrating locomotor and manipulative movements through a fun play approach, thereby increasing students’ motivation and active participation in physical education learning. These findings indicate that learning media designed according to the characteristics of student development can make a real contribution to improving motor skills. Therefore, the use of this media is recommended as an alternative learning strategy that is educational and fun in the school environment.

Abstract

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of the Game Situation and Senior high school Sided Games approaches to improving students’ futsal playing skills. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design. The sample consisted of 32 futsal extracurricular students of senior high school Negeri 1 Lembang who were divided into two groups, each receiving treatment for 12 meetings. The measurement instrument used The Construction Performance Assessment Instrument on Futsal Game Performance which has been validated. The results of the Paired Sample T-Test showed a significant increase in futsal playing skills in both groups. However, the results of the Independent Sample T-Test showed no significant difference between the group using the Game Situation approach and the group using Senior high school Sided Games. These findings indicate that both approaches have relatively equal effectiveness in improving students’ futsal playing skills, both in terms of basic techniques (passing, control, dribbling, shooting) and tactical aspects (decision making, support, and repositioning). The results of this study reference to the development of contextual, active, and fun game-based physical education sports and physical learning strategies.

Abstract

Cardiorespiratory fitness refers to the integrated ability of the cardiovascular system with the respiratory system to provide oxygen to body tissues and is measured through VO₂max parameters. This variable is related to gender, abdominal circumference, and Body Mass Index (BMI). This cross-sectional study was analytical and involved 43 students as subjects selected by purposive sampling technique. Data were analysed descriptively and analytically using frequency distribution and chi-square test. The majority of the subjects were female (72%), with a mean abdominal circumference of 78.84 cm and included low risk (53%), a mean BMI of 24.88 and included normal (56%), and a mean VO2 max of 11:02 including a very poor category (72%). Correlation tests of gender, abdominal circumference, and BMI with VO2max showed p values of (p=0.000); (p=0.019) and (p=0.645) respectively, which means that there are differences in cardiorespiratory fitness between men and women; there is a statistically significant relationship between abdominal circumference and VO2max level and there is no statistically significant relationship between BMI and VO2max level.  Exploration of the biological mechanisms behind gender disparities and the influence of body fat distribution on VO₂max needs to be studied longitudinally, in addition to testing the effectiveness of integrated interventions in improving the aerobic capacity of at-risk populations..

Abstract

This study aims to develop a valid and reliable archery technique test instrument for recurve bow athletes to address the limitations of existing instruments, which tend to be subjective and focus solely on accuracy. The research and development (R&D) method, adapted from the steps of Borg and Gall, involved 14 athletes at the National Potential Young Athlete Training Center (SLOMPN) as the total sample. The developed test instrument not only measures accuracy (through qualification and elimination scores), but also specifically and objectively measures speed, strength, and endurance specific to the sport of archery. The seven main test components produced include: qualification score, elimination score, shooting speed, bow draw maximum quantity, bow training, battery test archery, and maximum shooting. The trial results showed that all seven test items were internally valid, with a correlation coefficient (r) higher than (rtable = 0.532). Furthermore, this instrument has a very high level of reliability (stability across testing sessions), with a test-retest correlation coefficient of 0.893. This study concludes that the developed archery technique test instrument is proven to be feasible, valid, and highly reliable for use. This instrument provides a comprehensive, objective evaluation tool, enabling coaches to profile athletes and design more effective and specific training programs, considering aspects of strength, speed, and endurance, in addition to shooting accuracy.
