Abstract

The increase in cases of overweight and obesity among adolescents is a serious challenge for public health in Indonesia. Low physical activity, high-calorie diets, and lack of nutritional knowledge are the main factors that affect the body composition and nutritional status of adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity on the body composition of students at Yasfi Bekasi High School. The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design on 114 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected through a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and an exercise intensity instrument, while body composition was measured using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. Data analysis was performed descriptively and bivariately using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good nutritional knowledge (85.1%) and high physical activity (64.9%). A significant relationship was found between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity with nutritional status (p < 0.05). Students with good nutritional knowledge and high physical activity tended to have a normal Body Mass Index (BMI), while respondents with low activity showed a tendency toward overweight. In conclusion, good nutritional knowledge, regular physical activity, and sufficient exercise intensity are an important combination in maintaining ideal body composition in adolescents. These findings emphasize the need for integrated nutrition education and physical activity promotion programs in schools to foster healthy lifestyles from an early age.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the management and procurement strategies for agility and strength training equipment in an effort to improve athlete performance at the PS. Palas Football Development Center in Padang Lawas Regency, North Sumatra. The main problem underlying this research is the limited training facilities and infrastructure, as well as the suboptimal strategy for managing and procuring training equipment that can support athlete achievement. This study uses a mixed methods research method with a sequential explanatory design, which begins with the collection and analysis of quantitative data through questionnaires, then continues with in-depth qualitative data through interviews and observations. The research subjects included 20 athletes, 5 coaches, and 5 club managers. The results show that the level of need for agility and strength training equipment is in the high category (85%), while the level of availability of facilities and infrastructure is still in the medium category (60%). Effective management strategies include planning training programs based on needs, optimal scheduling of equipment use, and routine equipment maintenance. Meanwhile, the procurement strategy is carried out with a collaborative approach through cooperation with local governments, sponsors, and local sports organizations. The implementation of this strategy has been proven to improve athlete performance, as indicated by a 20% increase in fitness test results and basic soccer technical skills after the program was implemented.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze physical activity, gross motor skills, and social skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to examine the relationship between these three variables. This study used a descriptive quantitative method involving nine children with ASD at SLB-D YPAC Bandung. Physical activity was measured using ActiGraph GT3X for seven days, motor skills were assessed through long jump, ball throw, 10-meter run, and balance tests, while social skills were measured using the Social Skills Questionnaire (SSQ). Data were analyzed descriptively and using Spearman's correlation to examine the relationship between variables. The results showed that the level of physical activity among children with ASD tended to be low, gross motor skills varied between individuals, and social skills were in the moderate category. Correlation analysis showed no strong relationship between physical activity, motor skills, and social skills, reflecting the diversity of developmental characteristics in children with ASD. However, these three aspects remain important to improve through structured interventions tailored to individual needs. These findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach in supporting the physical, motor, and social development of children with ASD.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between leg muscle power, arm muscle power, and anthropometry with the speed of the ball resulting from an open spike in athletes from the Sumedang Integrated Indonesian Volleyball Generation School. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The sample consisted of 21 athletes, with leg muscle power measured using the Vertical Jump Test, arm muscle power measured using an 8-second push-up test, and anthropometric data obtained through Karada Scan. The speed of the open spike ball was measured using a Speed Radar Gun. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, Pearson or Spearman correlations, and multiple regression with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that arm muscle power, height, weight, and body muscle mass were significantly related to ball speed, while several other variables such as leg power (Spearman), leg muscle mass, and BMI showed no significant relationship. Multiple regression analysis shows that the three independent variables simultaneously contribute 45.4% to ball speed. This finding confirms that spike performance is the result of an interaction between muscle strength and anthropometric characteristics. This study recommends a training program that focuses on strengthening the arm muscles, developing core strength, and managing body composition to improve spike speed in volleyball athletes.

Abstract

The study examined the prevalence and correlates of self-handicapping tendencies among physical education preservice teachers from one university. The participants were a purposive sample of physical education preservice teachers (67% male and 33% female) from one university in  midwestern United States. An adapted version of the short version of the Self-Handicapping Scale (SHS) served as the data source. The SHS score served as the response variable. The predictor variables were gender, the number of credit hours attempted, the number of credit hours passed, the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA), and GPA in the physical education content area. Results showed that 11.11% of the participants reported high levels of self-handicapping tendencies. The SHS had significantly low negative correlations with two predictors: the number of credit hours attempted and the number of credit hours passed. Conversely, SHS showed moderate significant positive correlations with cumulative GPA and the GPA in the physical education content area. The SHS scores for males and females were similar.Teacher education programs can help future teachers adopt coping strategies, thereby reducing their tendency to engage in self-handicapping strategies

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the extent to which the use of fins and zoomers affects the improvement of 50-meter backstroke swimming speed among athletes of the Tri Cakti Semesta Semarang Club. A quantitative approach with a two-group pretest-posttest design was used. Twenty athletes were selected as participants and divided into two groups: the first group trained using fins, while the second group trained with zoomers. Data were collected through swimming speed tests conducted before and after 16 training sessions. The results were analyzed using Paired Samples T-Tests and Independent Samples T-Tests. The findings showed that both fins and zoomers significantly improved athletes' 50-meter backstroke swimming performance, with an average increase of 0.69 seconds and 0.72 seconds, respectively. However, a comparative analysis did not show a significant difference between the two training methods. In conclusion, both tools can be considered equally effective as training variations to support the improvement of backstroke swimming performance.

Abstract

Background: Bullying is a persistent issue in primary education, impacting children’s physical, emotional, and social development. Despite efforts to create positive school environments, bullying continues in various forms, including physical, psychological, and cyberbullying. Many prevention programs are reactive rather than proactive, focusing on punishment instead of fostering positive behavior from an early age. Objective: This study aims to develop and evaluate a physical education (PE) based bullying prevention model for primary school students. The model integrates physical activity with social-emotional learning (SEL) to promote a safer, inclusive school environment. Methods: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted to examine research on PE based bullying prevention interventions. Studies were selected based on their focus on primary school students, PE, and bullying behaviors. The review followed the PRISMA framework for methodological rigor. Results: The SLR highlights the effectiveness of PE in reducing bullying by promoting positive social behaviors. Key factors include the role of PE teachers, cooperative learning strategies, and SEL integration. Well-structured PE interventions were found to reduce bullying and enhance social skills like empathy and conflict resolution. However, few studies provided a comprehensive PE-based bullying prevention model. Conclusion: This study proposes a PE-based bullying prevention model that integrates physical activity with SEL, fostering a safe and inclusive learning environment. Further research is needed to assess its long-term impact and applicability.

Abstract

Background: Cardiorespiratory capacity (CRF) is crucial for physical and cognitive health in children and adolescents. However, declines in CRF due to sedentary lifestyles highlight the need for effective interventions in school-based physical education (PE) programs. Traditional PE methods often fail to engage students sufficiently. Objective: This systematic literature review (SLR) evaluates the effectiveness of integrating educational games into physical fitness training, comparing it with traditional high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for improving CRF in students. Methods: A systematic search across Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar identified experimental and quasi-experimental studies from the last 10 years. Studies included were those that integrated educational games into fitness programs and measured CRF outcomes. Results: HIIT consistently improved CRF, particularly VO₂ max and aerobic performance. Game-based interventions showed smaller but significant improvements, primarily through enhanced engagement and motivation. Combining game elements with HIIT enhanced both physiological and behavioral outcomes. Conclusion: HIIT and game-based interventions offer complementary benefits for improving CRF. HIIT provides significant physiological gains, while educational games foster long-term participation. A combined approach could optimize both fitness and engagement in PE programs. Further research is needed to refine intervention parameters and assess long-term outcomes.
