Abstract

We aimed to analyze the relationship between agility and self-confidence on penalty kick performance among U-14 football players at HW Ngadirejo Soccer School. We employed a quantitative correlational approach involving 30 players selected through total sampling. Data collection used three instruments: the Illinois Agility Test for agility, a self-confidence questionnaire based on a Likert scale, and a penalty kick test of five attempts with scoring based on goal zones. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Pearson Product Moment correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between agility and penalty kick performance (r = -0.696; p < 0.001), and a significant positive correlation between self-confidence and penalty kick performance (r = 0.487; p = 0.006). Additionally, agility and self-confidence together demonstrated a significant relationship with penalty kick performance (R = 0.755; R² = 0.570; p < 0.001). These findings suggest that both agility and self-confidence, either partially or simultaneously, contribute meaningfully to penalty kick performance. This study recommends that coaches incorporate agility training and psychological development programs, particularly self-confidence building, into regular training routines to enhance players' penalty kick performance.

Abstract

Match statistics are one of the indicators that can be used to objectively evaluate a soccer team’s performance. Persib Bandung won the Indonesian Liga 1 championship in the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 seasons consecutively, making it interesting to analyze the match statistics related to their results. This study aims to determine the relationship between match statistics and Persib Bandung’s match results, as well as to identify the variables that most significantly influence match outcomes. The study employs a quantitative approach using a descriptive-correlational method. The data consist of secondary match statistics for Persib Bandung in the 2023/2024 and 2024/2025 Indonesian Liga 1 seasons, obtained from the New Indonesian League (LIB) and Soccerway. The sample comprised 72 matches selected using total sampling. Data analysis utilized the Mann-Whitney test and binary logistic regression. The results indicate that ball possession (p=0.360) and passing accuracy (p=0.464) do not have a significant relationship with match outcomes. Conversely, shots on goal exhibit a significant relationship (p=0.000). The logistic regression results indicate that shots on goal are the variable with the greatest influence on match outcomes (p=0.002; Exp(B)=1.702). Thus, shots on goal are the dominant factor associated with Persib Bandung’s match results in the 2023–2025 Indonesian Liga 1 season

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and examine the effectiveness of a modified plyometric training model in improving ushiro mawashi geri skill among adolescent karate athletes aged 15–17 years. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE development model, consisting of the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The participants were 45 adolescent karate athletes aged 15–17 years who were actively involved in a training program at INKANAS Central Jakarta Branch. The developed product was a modified plyometric training model designed based on the biomechanical characteristics of the ushiro mawashi geri technique and validated by karate experts, measurement and evaluation experts, and training model experts. Data were collected through ushiro mawashi geri skill assessments administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) a six-session training intervention. The results indicated that the mean ushiro mawashi geri skill score increased from 28.24 (39%) in the pre-test to 66.84 (93%) in the post-test. The normality test revealed that the data were normally distributed (p > 0.05), while the homogeneity test indicated homogeneous variance (p = 0.661). Furthermore, the Paired Sample t-Test demonstrated a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (t = −59.298; p < 0.05). The N-Gain analysis yielded an average score of 87.76%, which was categorized as highly effective. These findings indicate that the modified plyometric training model was effective in enhancing ushiro mawashi geri skill among adolescent karate athletes. Therefore, the developed training model is considered feasible for implementation as an alternative training program and may serve as a practical guideline for karate coaches in improving ushiro mawashi geri kicking performance among athletes aged 15–17 years.

Abstract

Urbanization has contributed to lifestyle changes characterized by reduced daily physical activity and increased sedentary behavior. Consequently, participation in recreational sports has emerged as an important strategy for maintaining physical health. Jogging and padel have become increasingly popular, not only because of their health benefits but also due to the influence of the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) phenomenon promoted through social media. This study investigated the relationship between the intensity of participation in jogging and padel and the physical health of urban residents in Semarang. A quantitative study with a cross-sectional correlational design was conducted involving 70 participants selected through purposive sampling, including 35 joggers and 35 padel players. Data on physical activity intensity and physical health were collected using structured questionnaires developed based on the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Short Form-36 (SF-36) health survey and analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test at a significance level of 0.05. The results indicated significant positive correlations between jogging intensity and physical health (r = 0.372, p = 0.028), padel intensity and physical health (r = 0.547, p < 0.001), and overall physical activity intensity and physical health (r = 0.468, p < 0.001). The association between padel participation and physical health was stronger than that observed for jogging. These findings suggest that greater participation in jogging and padel is associated with improved physical health among urban communities. The study reinforces existing evidence on the health benefits of regular physical activity and provides practical implications for developing sport promotion programs aimed at enhancing the health and well-being of urban populations.

Abstract

Vertical jump performance is essential in volleyball, supporting successful spiking, blocking, and jump serving. Despite extensive research on plyometric exercise, limited evidence exists regarding the effectiveness of structured jump box training for adolescent athletes in community volleyball clubs. This study evaluated the impact of an eight-week jump box training program on vertical jump performance. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. Twelve volleyball athletes aged 15–20 years from the Mutiara Muda Volleyball Club completed sixteen training sessions over eight weeks. Vertical jump height was measured before and after the intervention using the Vertical Jump Test. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, and a paired-samples t-test at a 0.05 significance level. Average jump height improved from 46.50 cm at baseline to 57.42 cm after training. Normality assumptions were satisfied (pretest p = .612; posttest p = .500), while the paired-samples t-test demonstrated a significant increase in performance (t = −7.045, p < .001) with a very large effect size (Cohen's d = 2.034). These findings suggest that progressive jump box training effectively enhances lower-body explosive power and vertical jump ability in adolescent volleyball players.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between Illinois Agility Test scores and sickle kick speed among Pagar Nusa athletes in Semarang Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational design and involved 20 athletes selected through purposive sampling. Agility was measured using the Illinois Agility Test, while scissor kick speed was measured based on the number of kicks in 10 seconds. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and correlation tests. The results of the study showed a significant negative correlation between Illinois Agility Test scores and sickle kick speed (r = -0.845; p = 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.714 indicates that agility accounts for 71.4% of the speed of a scissor kick. The shorter the time it takes to complete the Illinois Agility Test, the higher the athlete's kicking speed.

Abstract

This study aims to describe postural alignment and body fat percentage as factors associated with the risk of injury among student athletes. This study employed a quantitative descriptive design with a sample of 107 student athletes from the Faculty of Sports Science at Semarang State University, selected through purposive sampling. Postural alignment was measured using APECS for the ear, shoulder, ASIS, knee, foot, and overall alignment components, while body fat percentage was measured using calipers at three points for both men and women. The results showed that the greatest postural deviations were found in the foot segment, with a maximum value of 11°, and in the knee segment, with a maximum value of 9°, while the average body fat percentage among men was 14.91 ± 6.67%, with 48.8% of respondents falling into the “athlete” category. For women, the average body fat percentage was 26.98 ± 4.93%, and the majority fell into the average category (42.9%). These findings indicate that there is still variation in postural alignment and body composition among student athletes, which has the potential to affect biomechanical efficiency, movement stability, and susceptibility to injury.

Abstract

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) is a surgical proce-dure aimed at restoring knee joint stability following an Anterior Cru-ciate Ligament (ACL) injury. Phase III post-ACLR conditions often cause several problems, including decreased muscle strength, limited range of motion, balance disorders, and reduced functional activity. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and exercise therapy in phase III post-ACLR patients at ABR Physiotherapy Bojonegoro. The method used was a case study on an 18-year-old male patient, Mr. V, diagnosed with phase III post-ACLR who received physiotherapy intervention for four treatment sessions. Evaluations were conducted using Manual Muscle Testing (MMT), a goniometer, the Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), and the Y-Balance Test. The results showed improve-ments in muscle strength, an increase in range of motion from 120° to 135°, as well as improvements in functional activity and dynamic balance. The combination of NMES and exercise therapy proved to have a positive effect in improving knee function in phase III post-ACLR patients. Therefore, physiotherapy interventions using NMES and exercise therapy can be used as an effective rehabilitation method to support recovery in post-ACL reconstruction patients.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-confidence levels and gymnasts' performance in Semarang during the pre-competition period. This study employed a quantitative method using a correlation approach. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample consisting of 16 athletes from Wimilia Gymnastics in Semarang. A questionnaire was used to collect data on the athletes’ self-confidence and performance. The Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that in the normality test, the self-confidence variable had a significance value of 0.080 (p > 0.05), while the performance variable had a significance value of 0.649 (p > 0.05). The Levene’s test for homogeneity yielded a significance value of 0.430, indicating that homogeneity was not violated. The results of the linearity test showed an F-value of 0.426 and a significance value of 0.874. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed that the correlation coefficient between self-confidence and performance was 0.209, with a significance value of 0.436 (p > 0.05). It can be concluded that the levels of self-confidence and performance of Semarang City gymnasts during the pre-competition period have a positive relationship but do not have a significant impact.
