Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep quality and resting heart rate among badminton athletes at the Indonesia University of Education (UPI). A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 30 active bad-minton athletes selected through total sampling; participants were required to be actively training and have competitive experience. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while resting heart rate was measured in the morning under relaxed conditions before physical activity. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing and Pearson correla-tion. The results indicated that the athletes had an average PSQI score of 14.10, reflecting generally poor sleep quality, while the mean resting heart rate was 81.77 bpm. Normality testing showed that the data were normally distributed and suitable for parametric analysis. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive relationship between sleep quality and resting heart rate (r = 0.542; p = 0.002). These findings suggest that poorer sleep quality is associated with higher resting heart rates.

Abstract

In the world of sports, athletes often experience a psychological phenomenon known as impostor syndrome. Impostor syndrome is a phenomenon in which a person with a strong track record of achievements feels they have deceived others regarding their skills, doubts their own abilities, and believes that their success is due to external factors; this can negatively impact the athlete’s self-confidence. This study aims to examine the prevalence of the Impostor Syndrome phenomenon among individual athletes and to determine the impact of Impostor Syndrome on the self-confidence of individual athletes. A descriptive method with a quantitative approach was used in this study, which involved 24 individual athletes aged 18–25 years. The instruments used in the study consisted of two questionnaires: the Clance Impostor Phenomenon Scale (CIPS) and the Athlete Self-Confidence Questionnaire (ASQ), which were administered once to the sample. After the data were collected, data analysis was performed using the correlation test in SPSS Version 29. The results of the study indicate that impostor syndrome influences competitive self-confidence in individual athletes. Based on the results, it can be concluded that impostor syndrome has a significant effect on athletes’ self-confidence. The higher the level of impostor syndrome experienced by athletes, the lower their level of self-confidence and the higher their level of anxiety

Abstract

In karate kata, athletes often struggle to stabilize emotions during competition, which negatively affects concentration, movement precision, and overall per-formance quality. Emotional stability is crucial because kata demands high levels of concentration, precision, and self-control. This study aimed to determine the effect of mindfulness training on the emotional stability of karate kata athletes. Using an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, 15 kara-te athletes from Cimahi City aged 8–12 years were selected as samples. The re-search instrument was an emotional stability questionnaire consisting of 24 items across three dimensions that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, and paired sample t-tests. The results indicated that mindfulness training significantly improved emotional stability (p < 0.001), with scores increasing from 66% to 73%, representing a 7% improvement. This enhancement in emotional regulation supports better execution of kata movements under competitive pres-sure. These findings suggest that mindfulness training is an effective psychologi-cal strategy for enhancing emotional stability among young karate kata athletes. Therefore, its integration into regular training programs is recommended to sup-port optimal athletic performance.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the profile of lower limb explosive power, lower limb muscle strength, and body mass index (BMI) of Sports Science student athletes. The study employed a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. The re-search sample consisted of 48 male student athletes selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was conducted through direct testing and measurements, including the Jump DF test to measure lower limb explosive pow-er, a leg dynamometer to assess lower limb muscle strength, and body height and weight measurements to calculate body mass index. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, minimum value, maximum value, frequency, and percentage. The results showed that the average Jump DF score was 56.7 cm, with the majority of students categorized as Good (54.17%) and Excellent (20.83%). The average leg dynamometer result was 155.5 kg, with most students categorized as Excellent (75.00%) and Good (25.00%). The average BMI was 22.3 kg/m², with the majority of students classified as Normal (56.25%). The findings of this study indicate that male student athletes possess good lower limb explosive power, very good lower limb muscle strength, and predominantly normal BMI values. The results also revealed that lower limb mus-cle strength tended to be more dominant than lower limb explosive power. Therefore, physical development programs should focus on converting strength into explosive ability through power and plyometric training. These findings may serve as a basis for designing physical development programs for student ath-letes.

Abstract

The rapid development of Pencak Silat into an international competitive sport demands flawless physical and technical readiness from athletes. Physical fatigue in the third round is often the primary cause of a 20–30% decrease in technical accuracy and significantly increases the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Although the importance of physical conditioning is widely recognized, a comprehensive synthesis evaluating modern sports science training methods remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to map empirically tested physical conditioning methods to serve as a scientific reference for designing effective training programs for Pencak Silat athletes.  This study utilized a qualitative descriptive literature review design. The data analysis technique involved an annotated bibliography approach to interpret and compare findings from original research articles published between 2020 and 2025.  The literature review reveals that jump rope training effectively enhances straight kick skills in athletes. For crescent kicks (tendangan sabit), both plyometric and circuit training significantly improve performance; however, circuit training yields a substantially higher increase in kick speed (62.06%) compared to standalone plyometric training (36.56%). To address physical degradation, hollow sprint and shadow fight exercises demonstrate equal effectiveness in boosting VO2max capacity , while circuit training effectively enhances general endurance. Furthermore, integrating physical and technical training offers a dual benefit, improving kick speed while increasing anaerobic endurance by 21%.  In conclusion, the application of sports science-based training methods is empirically proven to be far more effective and efficient than conventional methods. An integrative strategy combining physical and technical training is highly recommended during the pre-competition phase to achieve peak physical condition alongside sharper technical execution.

Abstract

The 50-meter freestyle swimming speed is an important indicator of sprint swimming performance, so effective training methods are needed to improve the performance of athletes of training age. This study aims to analyze the effect of interval training on the 50-meter freestyle swimming speed of female athletes from the KU IV Central Swimming Club in Pekalongan. The study used a quantitative, quasi-experimental design with a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The study sample consisted of 30 female athletes selected using a purposive sampling technique based on age group IV criteria and training activity. The study was conducted at the Bening Waterboom Swimming Pool in Pemalang Regency for 16 sessions, with training three times a week. The research instrument used a 50-meter freestyle swimming performance test with time measurements using a stopwatch. Data analysis was performed using normality and homogeneity tests, and paired-samples t-tests at the 0.05 significance level. The results showed that the average pretest score of 57.04 seconds decreased to 55.24 seconds in the posttest. The results of the paired-samples t-test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of interval training on increasing 50-meter freestyle swimming speed. The distribution of performance categories also showed an increase in the number of athletes in the good and adequate categories and a decrease in the poor category after the treatment was administered. This performance improvement was influenced by interval training's ability to enhance speed endurance, technical efficiency, and the anaerobic energy system's performance during sprints. Therefore, interval training can be recommended as an effective training method for improving 50-meter freestyle swimming speed performance in development age athletes.
