Abstract

The problem with this research is that it is not yet clear how sports participation affects adolescent body composition, especially in terms of body mass index, body fat percentage, and muscle mass. This study aims to analyze the impact of sports participation on adolescent body composition. The study design used a causal-comparative approach with an ex post facto approach. Respondents were 85 students aged 18–21 years at the Indonesian University of Education, divided into two groups: those who participated in sports activities three times per week and those who only participated once per week for one semester. Body composition measurements were conducted using the Savvy Body Composition Analyzer based on BIA technology to obtain body mass index (BMI) and visceral fat index values. The results of the independent samples t-test showed a significant difference in BMI between the two groups (p = 0.002), where the group with a higher exercise frequency had a healthier BMI value. These findings support the importance of regular and structured sports activities to improve better body composition in adolescents, as well as prevent health risks related to obesity and metabolic syndrome.

Abstract

Rafting is an achievement sport that is carried out in the open air with a high level of risk, so it requires the physical, technical, and psychological readiness of athletes in facing environmental pressure and teamwork. However, the psychological aspect of rafting athletes has not been fully used as a basis for coaching, and studies that specifically discuss psychological needs in this extreme sport are relatively limited. This study aims to analyze the needs of the psychological aspects of rafting athletes in West Java as the basis for the development of more directed mental coaching. This study uses a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study involved 92 rafting athletes who were actively training and competing in West Java. The research instrument used was  the Psychological Skills Inventory for Sports–Youth (PSIS-Y). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe the level of need of the psychological aspect of athletes. The results of the study showed that the motivation aspect was in the very high category with a percentage of 93.76%. The aspect of self-confidence (89.06%), and mental preparation (84.56%) are in the high category. Meanwhile, the aspects of team emphasis (69.92%), concentration (66.52%), and anxiety (60.14%) were in the medium category. These findings show that rafting athletes in West Java have different levels of psychological needs, with motivation, confidence and mental preparation being the most dominant psychological components. Therefore, improvements are needed in the management of team stress, anxiety, and concentration. The results of this research can be used as a basis for the preparation of mental coaching programs that are in accordance with the characteristics of rafting sports.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between duration (screen time) and the level of self-regulation in adolescents at the high school level. The increase in penetration of digital technology is often not proportional to students' self-control abilities, so empirical evidence is needed regarding the relationship between the two. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with a non-parametric correlation method. The research sample consisted of 128 students who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data is collected through questionnaire instruments distributed online through Google Form. Data analysis was carried out using  the Spearman rho correlation test. The results showed a significant positive relationship (Very Positive) between screen time and self-regulation with a correlation coefficient of 0.992 and a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) < 0.001. These findings show that the pattern of screen duration use is closely related to students' self-control mechanisms in the field. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of strengthening self-regulation as a moderation strategy in regulating the duration of device use to support students' mental health and productivity in the digital era.

Abstract

Sleep quality is an important physiological factor that plays a role in the regulation of the autonomic nervous system and cardiovascular response, particularly heart rate. In students, poor sleep quality has the potential to affect heart rate response during physical activity in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PE) learning. This study aims to analyze the relationship and influence of sleep quality on students' heart rate response in PE learning. The study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational (associative) design. It was carried out at  State Vocational School 10 Semarang with a research sample consisting of 120 students (N = 120) who were selected using random sampling techniques. Sleep quality was measured using a score scale of 1–4 (PSQI Questionnaire), while heart rate was measured in beats per minute (bpm), using the Coospo H808S device (chest strap ECG). Data analysis includes descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, linearity test, Pearson correlation test, and simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that there was a significant negative relationship between sleep quality and heart rate (r = -0.267; p = 0.003). Regression analysis showed that sleep quality had a significant effect on heart rate with a contribution of 7.1% (R² = 0.071). These findings indicate that better sleep quality is associated with lower heart rate and a more stable cardiovascular response during PE learning. Thus, sleep quality can be considered as one of the important factors in optimizing physical education learning and student health.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the personality characteristics of university athletes based on the Big Five Personality Traits model and to analyze differences between male and female athletes. This study is expected to provide theoretical contributions in strengthening the application of the Big Five model in the context of university sports in Indonesia, as well as providing practical contributions for coaches and educational institutions in designing psychological coaching strategies that are more adaptive, gender-sensitive, and evidence-based. A quantitative approach with a descriptive-comparative design was employed. The sample consisted of 200 university athletes from student sport units at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia, including 100 male and 100 female athletes. Data were collected using the Big Five Inventory-10 (BFI-10) and analyzed through descriptive statistics and paired-sample t-tests. The results indicate that university athletes exhibit relatively high mean scores across all personality dimensions, with openness to experience showing the highest mean (M = 7.40; SD = 1.41). Inferential analysis revealed a significant overall difference in personality characteristics between male and female athletes (t = 7.264; p < 0.05). Significant differences were also found in extraversion (t = 3.637), neuroticism (t = 2.447), openness to experience (t = 3.250), agreeableness (t = 6.438), and conscientiousness (t = 4.501). This study concludes that personality characteristics of university athletes differ significantly by gender, highlighting the importance of considering gender differences in athlete development and training programs in higher education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of dribbling techniques of female athletes of  the Inspire club based on the comparison of travel time in the zig-zag test with the ball and without the ball as an objective indicator of technical ability. This study uses a quantitative method with a descriptive – comparative approach. The research subjects amounted to 15 female futsal athletes of the Inspire Club who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. The instrument in this study is in the form of a zig-zag dribbling test with the ball and without the ball, with the main measurement variable being travel time. The data analysis used was descriptive statistics and the Paired Sample T-Test test to determine the difference in performance between the two test conditions. The results showed that the average dribbling time with the ball (19.82 ± 2.96 seconds) was significantly slower than that of the test without the ball (13.07 ± 1.11 seconds). The results of the statistical test found that there was a significant difference between the two tests (p < 0.05). This shows that the ability of athletes to maintain speed when carrying the ball is not optimal. These findings show an imbalance between the ability to run speed without the ball and dribbling skills when carrying the ball.  Based on these results, it can be concluded that the quality of the dribbling technique of Inspire Club futsal athletes has not developed in line with the ability to run speed without the ball, so a more specific, progressive, and game-like training program is needed to improve ball possession at high speed.

Abstract

Physical Activity has an important role in maintaining the health and quality of life of the community. One form of physical activity participation that is developing in urban areas is through sports communities. This study aims to analyze the motives for physical activity in members of the sports community in the city of Bandung. The study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional observational design. The research sample was from 90 respondents who were active members of the running, swimming, and calisthenics communities in the city of Bandung. The instrument used is the Indonesian version of the Motives for Physical Activity Measure-revised (MPAM-R) questionnaire which has been tested for reliability. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and the One-Way ANOVA test. The results of the study show that the motive for physical activity of members of the sports community is in the good category in all dimensions of MPAM-R. The ANOVA test showed that there was no significant difference in the motive for physical activity between sports communities (p >0.05). These findings indicate that the type of exercise is the main factor in shaping the motivation to engage in physical activity, but the community environment, exercise experience, and individual awareness of the benefits of physical activity have a more dominant role. Thus, the sports community can be an effective means in encouraging participation and sustainable physical activity of the community.

Abstract

Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PE) learning is not only oriented towards achieving physical abilities, but also towards forming meaningful learning experiences for students. One important psychological aspect that is influenced by these experiences is self-efficacy. This study aims to analyze the relationship between meaningful physical education and students' self-efficacy. The study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research sample consisted of 219 students from State Junior High School  2 Semarang, State Senior High School   12 Semarang, and State Vocational School 10 Semarang, selected using purposive sampling. The research instruments were a questionnaire on the meaning of physical education, which included the dimensions of enjoyment, challenge, competence, autonomy, and social interaction, and a questionnaire on student self-efficacy, both of which were presented on a Likert scale. Data analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation test because the data were not normally distributed. The results showed a positive and significant relationship between the meaning of physical education and student self-efficacy (r = 0.251; p < 0.05). This finding indicates that the more meaningful the PE learning is perceived by students, the higher their level of self-efficacy in participating in physical education activities. Thus, the application of meaningful physical education and self-efficacy principles is an important strategy in improving the quality of PE learning, which not only has an impact on physical aspects but also strengthens students' psychological aspects.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of jumping step-up training on increasing the takeoff rhythm in the long jump of elementary school students. Takeoff rhythm is a very important technical component because it determines the effectiveness of energy transfer from the run-up phase to the takeoff and jump phases. This study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest–posttest design with 19 elementary school students participating in physical education. The research instrument was a long jump skills test that assessed the accuracy of the takeoff rhythm, while treatment was given through jumping step-up training for eight meetings with structured intensity. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test to determine differences in results before and after treatmentThe results of the study showed a significant increase in the ability of the push-off rhythm after being given jumping step-up training. This increase is related to the increase in strength and explosive power of the leg muscles, motor coordination, rhythmic control of steps, and students' confidence when doing push-offs. Jumping step-up training is also suitable for the characteristics of elementary school students because the movements are simple, repetitive, and safe to do. Thus, jumping step-up can be recommended as an effective alternative plyometric exercise in physical education learning to improve the push-off rhythm and long jump performance of elementary school students.

Abstract

This study examines how female taekwondo athletes perceive physical abilities, menstrual cycles, and diet. This study applied a quantitative method with a ceoss-sectional correlational design. A total of 36 female taekwondo athletes were recruited through total sampling techniques, divided into junior (n = 21) and senior (n = 15) groups. The instruments used included the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short From (IPAQ-SF) questionnaire to evaluate the perception of physical ability; Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) to measure diet; and the Menstrual Distress Questionnaire (MEDI-Q) questionnaire to assess the menstrual cycle. Data analysis was carried out using the Pearson product moment correlation test and descriptive statistics. The results of the study revealed that in the junior group, there was no significant association between diet and menstrual cycle (r = 0.159; p > 0.05), as well as between diet and views on the perception of physical ability (r = -0.025; p > 0.05). Meanwhile, in the senior group, a meaningful relationship with moderate negative strength was identified between menstrual cycle and perception of physical ability (r = -0.516; p < 0.05). In general, these findings indicate that the association between menstrual cycles and views on physical ability is situational and is more strongly seen in senior-level athletes.
