Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of power training using a medicine ball on improving long throw-in ability in football athletes. The research method used was an experiment with a one-group pretest–posttest design, involving 12 active male football athletes in the UPI Football Student Activity Unit aged 18–20 years who play the positions of fullback and winger. The training program was carried out for 16 sessions using the set system method, including the Overhead Medicine Ball Throw, Chest Pass to Wall, Rotational Throw, and Medicine Ball Slams movements with a load of 4–5 kg and explosive intensity. The instrument used was the Throw-in Distance Measurement Test to measure the throwing distance. The Pretest score had an average (mean) of 17.11 with a standard deviation of 2.85, while the Posttest score had an average of 19.01 with a standard deviation of 3.10. The results showed a significant increase in long throw-in ability after being given training using a medicine ball. This increase occurred because the training was able to develop functional arm, shoulder, and core muscle strength through explosive movements that resemble real throwing techniques. It can be concluded that power training using a medicine ball is an effective and applicable method to improve long throw-in ability in football athletes.

Abstract

This study aims to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of the MMC-Circuit Model, a Tarung Derajat training approach designed to improve athletes’ technical skills and discipline. The model is based on the philosophy of Muscle, Mind, and Conscience, integrating technical, physical, and mental components into a structured 12-station circuit training format. The research involved 20 athletes in a small-scale trial and 40 athletes in a large-scale trial over eight weeks. Quantitative results showed significant improvements in athletes’ technical performance, with punching and kicking skills increasing by 19–21%, and a reduction in rule violations by 55%. The model’s overall feasibility was rated 91% (very feasible) by experts. The t-test analysis indicated a significant difference between pretest and posttest results (p < 0.05), while correlation tests showed a strong negative relationship (r = –0.721) between rule compliance and the number of violations. Qualitative feedback revealed enhanced confidence, focus, motivation, and understanding of competition ethics among athletes. These findings demonstrate that the MMC-Circuit Model effectively enhances technical skills, physical readiness, and discipline, while promoting the core values of Tarung Derajat. The model provides a practical, holistic, and sustainable framework for developing athletes in free-fight competitions.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of self-talk training on improving the self-confidence of Pencak Silat athletes. Self-confidence is an essential psychological factor influencing athletic performance, while self-talk is a mental training technique that helps regulate thoughts and emotions through positive internal dialogue. This study employed a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design involving 21 Pencak Silat athletes from Junior high school  46 Jakarta. The intervention consisted of eight self-talk sessions over four weeks focusing on education, practice, and reflection. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26. The average self-confidence score at the pretest was 33.52 with a standard deviation of 3.842, while at the posttest it increased to 38.57 with a standard deviation of 3.501. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that both pretest and posttest data were normally distributed (p > 0.05), and the Levene’s Test indicated homogeneous variance (p = 0.567). The paired sample t-test produced a significance value of p = 0.000, indicating a significant difference between pretest and posttest results. These findings demonstrate that self-talk training effectively increases athletes’ self-confidence, emotional control, and focus, making it a practical psychological strategy to improve mental readiness and performance in Pencak Silat athletes.

Abstract

This study's aim was to investigate the factors social support and personality contribute to the motivation of adolescent sportsmen. The research method used is quantitative, with descriptive correlative type. Subject of the study is 121 students of Junior high school 1 Lengkong, Sukabumi Regency. The measurements were composed of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD) for personality, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) for social support, and the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) for exercise motivation. Data were analyzed using the Spearman and multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that social support and personality significantly contribute to the exercise motivation (t = 7.667; p = 0.000 and, t = 2.512; p = 0.013 respectively) and concurrently both play meaningful roles on the exercise motivation (F = 31.454; p = 0.000). The value of R² is 0.348; that is,34.8% of variation between adolescents' sports motivation was explained by the personality and social support variables, while the other remaining 65.2% could be attributed to other factors. Thus it can also be suggested that in enhancing sports motivation during adolescence, social support is more important than personality.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of arm muscle strength, jump height, and height on the accuracy of basketball shots in students aged 12-15 years. The research problem arises from the gap between students' high enthusiasm for basketball and the inconsistent shooting results they achieve. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research subjects consisted of 34 male students from Public Middle School 22 Semarang who were selected randomly. The data collection involved physical fitness assessments, such as push-ups to measure arm muscle strength, vertical jumps to gauge jumping proficiency, height measurements with a stadiometer, and shooting tests utilizing a jump. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, which included descriptive tests, prerequisite tests (normality and homogeneity), and multiple linear regression. The results showed a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.147, indicating that the three variables collectively contributed only 14.7% to shooting ability. The ANOVA test yielded a significance value of 0.183, which is greater than 0.05, and the partial test also showed no significant effect from each independent variable. These findings suggest that shooting success in adolescents is more influenced by factors such as mastery of basic techniques, movement coordination, and training experience.

Abstract

The present study examines the dynamics of interpersonal communication between coaches and athletes and its influence on achievement motivation in the context of woodball, a developing sport in Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected from 10 athletes and 2 coaches in Blora Regency through in-depth interviews, observations, and document reviews. The findings reveal that interpersonal communication—particularly openness, empathy, clarity, and supportiveness—has a substantial impact on enhancing athletes’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The study also identifies challenges such as cultural hierarchies, limited communication training, and resource constraints that affect coach–athlete interactions. These findings underline the importance of communication competence in sports coaching, particularly in less mainstream sports where formal institutional support is limited. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating interpersonal communication skills into coaching education and for further research on communication-driven athlete development in Indonesia.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the level of achievement motivation among athletes of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) of Bekasi City in preparation for the 2025 West Java Provincial Sports Week (PORPROV XV) Qualification Round. The achievement motivation questionnaire was developed based on the Need for Achievement theory, consisting of 31 valid items with four dimensions: enthusiasm, self-confidence, perseverance, and discipline. Data were collected from 140 athletes consisting of pre-adolescent, adolescent, and adult categories, then analyzed using SPSS version 23. The results showed that in three dimensions namely enthusiasm, self-confidence, and determination, 139 athletes (99.29%) were in the high motivation category, while 1 athlete (0.71%) was in the low category. In the discipline dimension, 138 athletes (98.57%) were in the high category and 2 athletes (1.43%) were in the low category. Overall, these findings indicate that the majority of athletes have high and consistent achievement motivation in most dimensions, reflecting good psychological readiness to face competition. Although most athletes have high motivation, there are some athletes who need psychological reinforcement to achieve optimal consistency, so a comprehensive coaching program is very necessary. Overall, these findings reflect the psychological readiness and high commitment of athletes to achieve optimal performance in competitions.
