Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of diamond passing drills on improving short passing and stopping skills in 10-11 year old soccer players. Short passing and stopping techniques are very important in maintaining smooth gameplay and effective team strategy. The study used an experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design involving 20 students from SSB Roksi as samples. The treatment, which consisted of diamond passing training, was given for four weeks with a frequency of three times per week. Skill data were measured before and after the treatment using a standardized instrument. Data analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and paired sample t-test. The results of the analysis showed an increase in the average score for short passing stopping skills from 9.25 in the pre-test to 15.10 in the post-test. The t-test showed a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05), which means that there was a significant improvement in ability after diamond passing training. The conclusion of the study states that the diamond passing training method is effective in improving short passing stopping skills in young athletes. This study recommends that coaches implement this method in basic soccer technique training programs for 10-11 year olds.

Abstract

Sports injuries are a serious issue frequently experienced by athletes, especially in high-intensity sports such as rugby, karate, and softball. Sports-related injuries not only impair athletic performance but can also threaten the longevity of an athlete’s career. The limited availability of empirical data concerning the prevalence and contributing factors of sports injuries among Papuan athletes served as the primary motivation for this research. This study was designed to identify the prevalence, types, anatomical locations, and potential risk factors associated with injuries across three sports disciplines. Employing a quantitative descriptive design with an ex post facto approach, the research involved 56 PON athletes. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square and logistic regression tests. The results showed that 83.9% of athletes experienced injuries, mainly grade 1–2 strains and abrasions, with the hip and head being the most affected areas. Rest was identified as the most significant factor influencing sports injuries (p = 0.044; OR = 0.061). The study found that most reported injuries were mild to moderate strains, primarily affecting the pelvis and head, with rest identified as the most significant factor influencing injury incidence. Therefore, effective recovery management and an integrated prevention approach balancing training, rest, psychological support, and technical supervision are essential to reduce injury risks among athletes.

Abstract

This study examines how Digital Based learning (DBL) influences learning concentration and fundamental motorskills (FMS) among Junior High School students in physical education. This study was designed using a one-group pre-experimental model with pre-tests and post-tests, consisting of 46 eighth-grade students at Junior High School 1 Ciparay. The intruments used in study were a fundamental motorskills assessment and a learning concentration test. The results of this single-group pre-experimental (pre-test-post-test) study, involving 46 eighth-grade boys and girls junior high school students, showed different findings between the variables of learning concentration and Fundamental Motor Skills (FMS). Data analysis, including the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, showed that the Digital-Based Learning (DBL) intervention significantly improved students' learning concentration, with a p < 0.001 value and a Z value of –5.8572. The ranking results showed that almost all students (45 out of 46) experienced an increase in their learning concentration3. Conversely, for the FMS variable, the DBL intervention did not show a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test, resulting in a p = 0.240 (> 0.05) and a Z value of –1.1744. This condition is reinforced by the fact that the number of students who experienced a decrease in FMS scores (23 students) was greater than those who experienced an increase (21 students), indicating that the DBL treatment did not have a significant positive effect on basic motor skills. This sugests that DBL can effectively support cognitive learning aspects. However, DBL alone cannot substitute direct physical activity in develoving fundamental motorskills.

Abstract

This study looks at how students view Physical Education, Sports, and Health classes and how that ties into their drive to learn at Junior High School Kartika XIX-2 in Bandung. The whole thing started because students often see these classes in a low light and lack real motivation for them. People still treat PE like its just an extra thing, not the main focus. Researchers went with a quantitative method and a correlational setup to dig into this. The group they studied included every student at that school. For the sample, they picked 105 students through simple random sampling. They gathered data using a questionnaire with closed questions on a 4-point Likert scale. To analyze it, they ran the Spearman's Rho correlation test since the data did not follow a normal distribution. The findings pointed to a very strong positive link between how students perceive PE and their motivation to learn, with an r value of 0.889 and p less than 0.05. That means the better students feel about PE, the more motivated they get to engage. These results really highlight why teachers need to step up and create positive views through fun, hands-on strategies that make sense and fit the Independent Curriculum principles.

Abstract

Injury prevention in female football athletes requires a multidimensional approach that integrates both biomechanical and psychological assessments. This research aims to examine the relationship between the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) and competitive anxiety in amateur female football players, with a focus on understanding the impact of Q-angle as an injury risk factor on anxiety levels. The importance of this study stems from the global rise of female participation in football, which is accompanied by a high incidence of lower extremity injuries, particularly among adolescents—a group that is physically and emotionally vulnerable. A total of eleven female athletes aged 14–21 years participated in the study. Q-angle measurements were conducted using image-based digital goniometry (KINOVEA®), whereas the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) was utilized to assess levels of anxiety both before and after match participation. The findings revealed a non-significant decrease in anxiety scores following match play (from 35.23 ± 7.21 to 32.28 ± 8.49; p = 0.076), which may suggest a reduction in anticipatory stress after real-game involvement. Q-angle values varied widely from 9.5° to 29°, with several athletes exhibiting angles outside the normative female range of 15°–20°, indicating a possible increased risk for lower-extremity injuries. Even though a meaningful association was not established between the Q-angle measurements and anxiety levels, the occurrence of extreme readings in both areas among specific individuals suggests a potentially compounded injury risk that should be further investigatedIn spite of constraints such as a limited number of participants and the use of a cross-sectional study design, this research underscores the practical utility of low-cost, field-friendly tools for early detection of biomechanical and psychological injury risk factors. The results support the integration of dual-domain screening into injury prevention programs for adolescent female football players.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of the Tactical Game Approach (TGA) through handball games on improving decision-making abilities and manipulative motor skills of elementary school students. The background of this study is because PE learning in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional approaches, making students less active and less involved in the game. This study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design and involved 30 elementary school students selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) to measure decision-making abilities and the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) to measure manipulative motor skills during the pretest and posttest. The data obtained were analyzed using the non-parametric Shapiro-Wilk test to test normality and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to test differences in pretest and posttest results. The results showed an increase in the average score in both aspects studied. Based on the Wilcoxon test results, a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) was obtained, which means there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The application of the Tactical Game Approach through handball games is effective in improving decision-making abilities and manipulative motor skills of elementary school students. Further research is recommended to use an experimental design involving a control group or compare the effectiveness of TGA with other learning models.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of battle ropes training on the long throw-in ability of football athletes. The study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 12 male football athletes from Jasukars FC. The training program was carried out for 16 meetings over four weeks with variations of Power Slams, Double Waves, Jumping Slams, Plank Battle Ropes, and Squat to Waves exercises. Data were collected using the Throw-in Distance Measurement instrument and analyzed through the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in long throw-in ability after being given battle ropes training. This increase was caused by the development of upper body strength, explosive power, and core muscle stability produced through dynamic and isometric contractions during the exercise. These findings reinforce that battle ropes training is able to provide specific motor transfer to throw-in mechanics, thereby increasing throwing efficiency and distance. Thus, battle ropes training is recommended as an effective alternative in developing functional strength and throw-in ability for football athletes.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of plyometric training in improving strength and agility, as well as to compare the extent to which plyometric exercises are more effective than conventional training methods. The research employed an experimental approach designed to identify causal relationships between the treatment and the measured outcomes. The study utilized a Pretest Posttest One Group Design, in which measurements were conducted both before and after the intervention. The research sample comprised 20 students actively participating in the volleyball extracurricular program. The research instruments included a leg dynamometer to assess lower-limb muscle strength and a zig-zag test to evaluate participants’ agility levels. The findings revealed significant differences between the pretest and posttest results for both dependent variables strength and agility. The obtained significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) indicates that the implemented training programs, namely the box drill and flog jump exercises, had a substantial impact on enhancing the participants’ physical performance. Therefore, it can be concluded that plyometric training has a positive influence and statistical impact on increasing strength and agility. Overall, this study reaffirms that plyometric training is an effective and efficient method for enhancing physical capabilities, making it highly recommended for inclusion in athletic conditioning and performance development programs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the risk level of exercise posture on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at the Faculty of Sports and Health Science , Makassar State University (UNM). Petanque requires athletes to perform repetitive movements and maintain certain body positions, especially when throwing, which can potentially cause musculoskeletal disorders. This study employs a descriptive observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained through direct observation of athletes' working posture during activities and analysed using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method to assess the level of posture risk for musculoskeletal complaints. The results of the analysis showed that most athletes were in the low to moderate risk category, especially in the back, upper arm and wrist, caused by non-ergonomic body positions when throwing. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the posture of petanque athletes contributes to an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders, thus requiring attention to the application of ergonomic principles and improvement of posture techniques in training to reduce the potential for musculoskeletal injuries.
