Abstract

The overhead passing technique is one of the most important basic techniques in volleyball because it helps organize attacks and maintain the flow of the game. However, during training, some athletes still struggle to control the direction and accuracy of the ball during overhead passes. This study aims to determine the effect of overhead passing training with a target ring on the accuracy of overhead passing among extracurricular volleyball athletes. This study used an experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The subjects were 20 extracurricular volleyball athletes at State High School 1, Pegandon. Data collection was conducted using an overhead passing skill test. The data were then analyzed using a paired-samples t-test to determine the difference in results before and after treatment. The results showed an increase in overhead passing ability after training with a target ring. The average pretest score of 8.85 increased to 15.25 in the posttest. The results of the paired-samples t-test showed a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. Thus, it can be concluded that overhead passing training using a ring target significantly improves the accuracy of overhead passing among extracurricular volleyball athletes.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low level of student participation in volleyball learning, which was related to conventional teaching methods that did not fully encourage active student engagement. Therefore, instructional innovation is needed, one of which is the deep learning approach. This study aimed to describe the implementation of deep learning in improving student participation in volleyball learning. A quantitative approach with a descriptive survey method was used. The sample consisted of 64 Grade VIII students se-lected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, question-naires, and documentation. The questionnaire was developed based on indicators of stu-dent participation and the principles of deep learning, namely mindful learning, meaning-ful learning, and joyful learning. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, includ-ing scores, means, standard deviations, frequencies, and percentages. The results showed that 52% of students were in the high category, 6% in the very high category, and 42% in the moderate category, with no students in the low category. These findings indicate that deep learning can create an active, meaningful, and enjoyable learning environment and can be used as an effective strategy to increase student participation in volleyball learning.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on increasing VO₂max capacity in futsal athletes at Corner Futsal Academy. The problem with the study is the low cardiorespiratory endurance in athletes, which causes fatigue at the end of the game and has an impact on decreased performance. This study uses an experimental method with a pretest-posttest design of one group. The sample size was 25 athletes, selected using the total sampling technique. VO₂max is measured using the Multistage Fitness Test. The HIIT training program is implemented for 8 weeks, twice a week (16 sessions). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk test, Wilcoxon test, and N-Gain test.The results showed an increase in the mean VO₂max from 40.81 ± 5.64 to 44.38 ± 5.74 mL/kg/min, which represented an increase of 3.57 mL/kg/min (8.7%). The Wilcoxon test showed a significant improvement (Z = -3.87; p < 0.001) with a large effect size (r = 0.77). However, an N-Gain value of 5.9% is categorized as ineffective. It is concluded that HIIT significantly affects VO₂max, but its practical effectiveness still needs to be optimized.
