Abstract

This study aims to comprehensively and systematically analyze the motivational factors and public perceptions in participating in the Sunday Morning Activity (SMA) program organized by the UNNES Gymnastics Student Activity Unit. This study uses a descriptive quantitative approach with convenience sampling techniques involving 50 respondents. The research instrument is in the form of a Likert scale questionnaire designed to measure participants' motivation and perception. The results showed that the motivation level of participants was very high, with intrinsic factors such as happiness being the dominant factor, accompanied by extrinsic factors such as health benefits and social interaction. In addition, participants' perception of the quality of the program was also very positive, which reflected satisfaction with the instructors, facilities, and the overall atmosphere of the activity. These findings show that campus-based community gymnastics programs are able to create a fun experience while encouraging sustainable participation. Therefore, this program has great potential as an effective and sustainable model in the development of people's physical activities.

Abstract

Physical Education, Sport, and Health (PJOK) is an important component in supporting students’ physical development, motor skills, and readiness to learn. However,the increasing sedentary behavior among urban children may reduce their physical fitness levels. This study aimed to identify the physical fitness profile of Phase B students in Malang City as a foundation for preparing PJOK learning plans for pre-service teachers. The research used a quantitative approach with a descriptive design and a test-based survey method. It was conducted at SDN Percobaan 1 Malang, with students selected through purposive sampling. The instrument used was the Indonesian Student Fitness Test (TKSI) for Phase B. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages.The results showed that students’ physical fitness was mostly in the good category (44.29%), followed by moderate (25.71%), very good (17.86%), and poor (12.14%). Different achievements were found in each test component. Hand-eye coordination and agility obtained better results than flexibility and core muscle endurance. These findings indicate that students’physical activity tends to develop coordinative and dynamic movement skills more than flexibility and muscular strength. Therefore, TKSI results can be used as a basis for designing PJOK learning that is more relevant, adaptive, and aligned with students’needs.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between physical activity, physical fitness level, and physical readiness among Grade X Nursing Assistant students at SMKN 11 Malang in facing learning demands and fieldwork practice. This study used a quantitative, descriptive correlational approach, with all Grade X students in the program as subjects. Physical fitness was measured using the Indonesian Student Fitness Test (TKSI) for students aged 16-19, while physical activity was measured using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Descriptive results indicate that students' physical fitness is still predominantly in the moderate to poor category in several components, particularly cardiorespiratory endurance, reaction time, and agility. Meanwhile, students' physical activity is in the moderate to high category, but it is still accompanied by relatively long sitting durations. These findings suggest that unstructured daily physical activity does not necessarily align with optimal physical fitness. Therefore, more innovative physical education (PE) learning, targeted training programs, and reinforcement of active lifestyle habits are needed to continuously improve students' physical readiness.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate the feasibility, practicality, and effec-tiveness of the Kanga Es Cape learning model, a Kids Athletics-based jumping game using modified box media, for upper-grade elementary school students. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, consisting of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. Product validation involved one game expert and two Physical Education practitioners. Small-group trials were conducted with 14 students from SDN Pakintelan 03, while large-group trials involved 30 students from SDN Pakintelan 02 and SDN Pakintelan 03. Data were collected through question-naires, observations, interviews, and pretest-posttest assessments. Expert vali-dation results indicated that the product was categorized as feasible and highly usable. Small-group and large-group trials also showed high practicality ratings. Effectiveness testing demonstrated significant improvements in students’ learn-ing outcomes, with mean cognitive scores increasing from 32.20 to 68.97, affective scores from 31.07 to 64.47, and psychomotor scores from 35.83 to 63.33 (p < 0.001). Therefore, the Kanga Es Cape learning model is feasible, practical, and effective for supporting active participation and movement skill development in elemen-tary school physical education learning.

Abstract

This research examines the coaching expedition and results of Sumedang Regency's student basketball teams in the Regional Student Sports Week (POPWIL) competition, addressing the limited historical selection and the limited global mapping of student-level sports coaching systems. The research framework is based on the importance of POPWIL as a marker of the effectiveness of regional sports coaching and as a bridge to larger competitions. The research aims to reconstruct Sumedang's student basketball coaching model, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and analyze how the changes that have occurred in an integrated manner have resulted in improved results in POPWIL. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a problem-solving approach, information was obtained through in-depth simulation interviews, monitoring of coaching areas, and analysis of documents related to Sumedang's participation in POPWIL. The research results indicate that Sumedang's basketball coaching progresses through three main stages: incidental, structured change, and networked coaching, which gradually improve the physical readiness, technical-tactical abilities, and psychological resilience of athletes. Improved coaching management, improved facilities, and strengthened coordination between schools, clubs, Perbasi (Indonesian Association of Indonesian Basketball Associations), and the Youth and Sports Agency (Dispora) contributed significantly to this development. This research concludes that Sumedang's improved results in the 2024 POPWIL (Regional Sports Week) were the result of a comprehensive, analytical, and collaborative coaching approach, not simply the result of one-off interventions. These findings provide effective links for the development of sustainable student sports coaching in other regions with similar characteristics.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the monotony of conventional Physical Education learning at the junior high school level which triggers student boredom, decreases learning motivation, and has an impact on decreasing physical fitness and weakening students' social-emotional skills. This study aims to determine the effect of implementing the Adventure-Based Learning (ABL) model in outdoor education on improving students' Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and physical fitness. Using a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method and a non-equivalent control group design, this study involved an experimental group (class VIII-C, n=30) who were given 8 sessions of ABL model treatment, and a control group (class VIII-F, n=30) with conventional learning. Data were collected through SEL questionnaires and Multistage Fitness Test (MFT), then analyzed using the Independent Sample T-Test in SPSS. The results of the hypothesis test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p <0.05) for both variables. The average SEL score of the experimental group increased by 16.75 and physical fitness (VO2 Max) increased by 6.40. In conclusion, the ABL model has a significant and effective influence in achieving the dual objectives of physical education, both in the psychological (mental) and biological (physical) aspects of students simultaneously.

Abstract

Research on sport communication has concentrated on established mainstream sports, leaving emerging sport organizations underexplored. This study analyzes how the All-Indonesia Kabaddi Sports Federation (FOKSI) of Central Java builds kabaddi image and popularity, an emerging sport facing low recognition and limited media exposure. A constructivist interpretive qualitative case study was conducted; data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and docu-mentation from eight informants and analyzed thematically following Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal an "achievement based communication strategy" in which credibility is sequenced before visibility: athletic achievement is con-verted into symbolic legitimacy amplified through athlete-led storytelling, decen-tralized social media generating electronic word of mouth, and a hybrid of mass media partnership and event-based engagement. The study extends strategic sport communication by positioning symbolic legitimacy and organizational rep-utation as the mediating mechanism linking communication strategy to populari-ty in resource constrained, emerging-sport contexts, while identifying funding constraints, vacant regional boards, and low public literacy as structural inhibi-tors. The novelty lies in reframing "achievement first, popularity later" from a practitioner maxim into an analytic model of credibility-led communication, of-fering a transferable framework for developing sports.

Abstract

This study aims to test the effectiveness of the Bentengan traditional game, based on Living Values Education (LVE), in improving the locomotor skills of Year 4 pupils at SDN Kanggraksan. A mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design was employed. The quantitative component used a quasi-experimental One Group Pre-test-Post-test design involving 28 pupils. Locomotor skills were measured using the TGMD-2 locomotor subtest, whilst LVE value inter-nalisation was observed using a structured observation sheet. The intervention consisted of 4 sessions (2×35 minutes). Quantitative analysis included the Wil-coxon Signed-Rank Test and N-Gain; qualitative analysis utilised the Miles & Hu-berman model. Results showed an increase in average locomotor skills from 22.29 to 37.79 (69.57% gain), with a highly significant difference (Z = -4.631; p < 0.001). The average N-Gain was 0.60 (moderate to high) and all students im-proved. Qualitative data revealed that LVE value internalisation (cooperation, responsibility, respect) occurred progressively, with observation scores develop-ing from 22/60 (Insufficient) to 59/60 (Very Good). The Bentengan traditional game based on LVE is effective in improving locomotor skills whilst internalising character values, recommended as a holistic approach for Physical Education teachers.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between physical literacy and studentparticipation in physical education learning at MTs Daarul Fikril Uluum Binong. Aquantitative approach with a correlational research design was used. The population consisted of 166 students, from which a sample of 118 students was selectedusing the Simple Random Sampling technique, with sample size determinedthrough the Slovin formula. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaireconsisting of 21 statements measuring physical literacy and 19 statements measuring student participation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, theKolmogorov–Smirnov normality test, and the Pearson Product Moment correlationtest, processed with IBM SPSS Statistics version 27. The results show that bothphysical literacy and student participation fall into the Very Good category. ThePearson correlation test revealed a strong and statistically significant positive relationship between physical literacy and student participation (r = 0.790; p = 0.000;p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the higher students' physical literacy, thegreater their participation in physical education learning. Therefore, physical education teachers should give greater attention to developing students' physical literacy as an effort to increase student engagement in the learning process.

Abstract

Dynamic stabilization disorders frequently occur among athletes as a consequence of Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI), which arises from recurrent ankle sprains resulting in ligament damage and diminished ankle function. Effective management is therefore required to enhance proprioception through wobble board exercise and to improve muscular strength through theraband exercise, thereby increasing overall ankle stabilization. This case study investigated the physiotherapy management of dynamic stabilization disorders attributable to CAI using combined wobble board exercise and theraband exercise interventions conducted at Monsphysio Handil Bakti Clinic. Dynamic stabilization was measured using the Y Balance Test over a four-week treatment period. The results demonstrated a progressive improvement in dynamic stabilization, with the Y Balance Test composite score increasing from 86.7% at baseline (Week I) to 93.7% after four weeks of intervention (Week IV), representing an absolute improvement of 7.0 percentage points. These findings suggest that the combined intervention of wobble board exercise and theraband exercise yields weekly improvements in dynamic stabilization among patients with CAI. Future researchers are recommended to conduct studies with longer treatment durations and to control for patient activity levels, which may influence treatment outcomes.
