Abstract

This research and development were based on a policy (R &D) aimed to produce a valid, practical, and effective Volleyball game base service learning model for Physical Education (PE) in Junior High School 5 Kota Bengkulu. The study used the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation as a design for Research and Development (R&D). Data collection techniques consisted of observation, interviews, and questionnaire surveys to obtain expert validation data and to assess the practicality of the developed product. Five prototype game-oriented volleyball service learning models were first developed depending on the students' characteristics, whereas the validation, refinement and operational results indicated that four of the models could be workplace-ready model, namely Target Zone Service Model, Service Relay Model, Hit and Cone Model and Service and Run Model. The validity by expert (a learning expert, a volleyball subject-matter professional and a media specialist) of the system showed that feasibility scores for three experts were in high 90.3%, 91.0% and 90.6% with results all falling into highly feasible. Restrained implementation proved the feasibility and favorability of the four models among teachers, as well as students' motivation for participating in activities. On the basis of these results, the game-based volleyball service learning model is regarded as feasible, acceptable and practicable, and may be an optional instructional strategy to improve volleyball service teaching in junior secondary Physical Education classes.

Abstract

In the context of competitive sports training, the psychological aspects of athletes are one of the important factors that determine the success of training and performance during competition. One of these psychological aspects is self-confidence, which is believed to be inseparable from the quality of the relationship between the coach and the athlete during the training process. Based on this, this study aims to determine the effect of the coach-athlete relationship on the self-confidence of pencak silat athletes. This study uses a quantitative method with a correlational approach. The research subjects consisted of 53 pencak silat athletes who were used as respondents. The research instruments used included the Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire (CART-Q) to measure the coach–athlete relationship and the Athletic Self-Confidence Questionnaire (ASQ) to measure the athletes' level of self-confidence. The data obtained were then analyzed using normality tests, linearity tests, Pearson's correlation tests, and simple linear regression tests. The results of the analysis showed a positive and significant relationship between the coach-athlete relationship and athlete self-confidence, although the level of the relationship found was relatively weak. In line with these findings, the regression test results showed that the coach-athlete relationship had a positive effect on athlete self-confidence, but the contribution of this effect was relatively small. This indicates that athletes' self-confidence is not only influenced by their relationship with their coaches, but also by other factors outside the research variables. Nevertheless, these findings confirm that the coach-athlete relationship still plays an important role as a supporting factor in building the self-confidence of pencak silat athletes.

Abstract

The main problem in this study is the low accuracy of players' kicks when in front of the goal. This study aims to test the effectiveness of  targeted  shooting exercises  in improving kick accuracy in Bina Muda football players. The research method used was a quasi-experiment with a pretest-posttest design of one group. The research sample amounted to 20 players taken using  the total sampling technique. The research instrument used kick accuracy tests carried out before and after the intervention. The results of the descriptive analysis showed a significant increase in the average shot accuracy score, from 2.65 during the pretest to 6.05 during the posttest. The study data showed that they were normally distributed (p > 0.05) and had homogeneous variance (p = 0.864). Based on the hypothesis test using  the Paired Sample T-Test, a t-count value of -11.855 was obtained with a significance of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings suggest that there is a very significant difference between the ability of the kick to be accurate before and after treatment. The decrease in standard deviation from 1,631 to 1,572 also indicates that the player's abilities have become more consistent collectively. The conclusion of this study is that  targeted shooting  exercises  are highly effective in improving the kick accuracy of Young Builders players through the formation of muscle memory and sharper visual focus.

Abstract

In sports management in schools, objectivity in the athlete selection process is often compromised due to the lack of use of measurable and scientific-based physical data. In archery, aerobic capacity, especially VO₂max, plays an important role in maintaining physical stability, concentration, and heart rate stability during matches. This study aims to implement VO₂max audit as a strategic instrument in the selection, evaluation, and monitoring of archery athletes at SMK Negeri Bali Mandara. A descriptive quantitative approach was used with 21 archery athletes. VO₂max was measured using the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). The results showed that athletes' aerobic capacity ranged from 22.93 to 38.84 ml/kg/min, with the majority (52.4%) in the "Adequate" category. These findings indicate that most athletes still need to improve their physical condition. The data from this fitness audit can be used as a basis for grouping more effective and directed training programs. In addition, the VO₂max audit provides a scientific foundation for more transparent, objective, and accountable managerial decision-making in the school sports environment.

Abstract

This study analyzed the performance of an ultra-trail runner in two races (62 km and 50 km) using a wearable device (Coros Pace 3). The subject was a 26-year-old male runner with more than four years of experience in ultra-trail running. Parameters examined were pace, heart rate (HR), and elevation. The results showed that elevation strongly influenced both pace and HR, with more conservative pacing observed in the 62 km race and more aggressive early effort in the 50 km race. The analysis was conducted descriptively and through a regression model with elevation control as a covariate. The results showed an oscillatory pacing pattern influenced by elevation contours, with HR increasing significantly in uphill segments. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive pacing strategies  based on elevation profiles and suggest that wearable data can provide practical insights for training and competition. Runners need to know the details of the race track, including distance and elevation, and train in conditions similar to the actual track so that physiological adaptations occur and they can achieve their best performance during the race.

Abstract

Emotional intelligence (EI) is considered an important psychological factor in sports performance; however, its role may vary depending on sport characteristics and competitive demands. This study aimed to compare emotional intelligence between athletes in a non-contact sport (table tennis) and a contact sport (taekwondo), and to examine the association between emotional intelligence and athletic achievement. A quantitative comparative–correlational design was employed involving 95 athletes (49 table tennis; 46 taekwondo) from West Java, Indonesia. Emotional intelligence was measured using the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24), while athletic achievement was assessed through a structured scoring system based on official competition medals. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent samples t-tests, and correlation analyses. Descriptive results indicated that table tennis athletes had a higher mean EI score (M = 93.53, SD = 10.24) compared to taekwondo athletes (M = 88.73, SD = 15.23). However, the difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.076). Correlation analysis revealed a positive but weak association between emotional intelligence and athletic achievement (Pearson r = 0.285; Spearman ρ = 0.199). These findings suggest that emotional intelligence contributes to athletic performance as a supportive factor, but it is not a sole determinant of achievement. Athletic success is influenced by multiple interacting factors, including technical skills, physical condition, training experience, and competitive exposure. Therefore, athlete development programs should integrate psychological training alongside physical and technical preparation in a balanced and sport-specific manner.
