The study investigated the lipid profiles and body mass index (BMI) levels among senior high school students in Ghana. Participants were 411 students (64.96% male and 35.04% female) from two senior high schools in a municipality in the northern sector of Ghana. They comprised 41.60% Grade 10 (SHS Form 1) and 58.40% Grade 11 (SHS Form 2) students. Lipid tests and anthropometric measures were utilized to assess students’ lipid profiles and BMI. The response variables were total cholesterol (TCHOL), HDL, LDL, triglycerides (TRIG), and BMI. Students’ sex, grade level, and program of study served as predictor variables. Overall, 29.68% of the students were classified as thin or underweight, 5.60% overweight or obese, and 64.72% were in the normal BMI category. Additionally, 50.12% of the students had abnormal levels of functioning in one category, with 21.17% showing abnormal levels of functioning in at least two categories. Males had significantly higher TCHOL and LDL scores than females, while females had significantly higher BMI scores. There were significant grade-level differences for LDL and BMI. Grade 10 students had higher LDL levels than those in Grade 11, and Grade 11 students had significantly higher BMI scores than those in Grade 10. Furthermore, there were significant differences in the programs of study for TCHOL, LDL, TRIG, and BMI. The findings of this study underscore the need for targeted health initiatives across all programs in senior high schools, emphasizing regular health screenings for Ghanaian adolescents aimed at reducing risk for metabolic disease later in life.

Evaluating the effectiveness of training programs by monitoring athletes’ skills makes a crucial contribution to endurance sports such as road cycling. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of polarized training on FTP (Functional Threshold Power), which is defined as the maximum power that an athlete can maintain for approximately 60 minutes. There were 5 expert cyclists aged 17-20 years from ISSI Kota Bandung, involving pre-test and post-test stages using an experimental method. 80% of the training sessions were low intensity, with the remaining 20% being high intensity, and participants had to follow a polarized training schedule for a period of 6 weeks. A Wahoo KICKR smart trainer with MyWhoosh FTP20 settings was used to assess FTP. A t-test was performed after a Shapiro-Wilk test to check whether the data was normally distributed or not in the statistical process. Outcomes indicated a substantial FTP improvement, rising from 3,514 to 3.820 W/kg (t = -6.372, p = 0.003 < 0.05). Polarized training significantly increases FTP among road cyclists, as shown in these findings. This demonstrates that the use of polarized intensity allocation is a scientifically proven approach to increasing FTP, an essential measure of cycling skill or ability marked by FTP.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the modified traditional long clog game on improving gross motor skills in early childhood. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a One Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The subjects were 12 children in Group A at Putra Pertiwi Kindergarten, Bekasi Regency, selected by purposive sampling. Data were obtained through observations of children’s gross motor skills using five main indicators: balance, leg muscle strength, coordination, social, and emotional. The analysis results using the paired sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05 and t_count 9.58 > t_table 2.20, which means there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. These findings indicate that the modified long clogs game effectively improves the gross motor skills of children aged 4–6 years. This activity not only strengthens motor coordination and body balance, but also trains children’s cooperation, focus, courage, and social-emotional abilities. In addition to providing physical benefits, this game contributes to character building through fun and educational play activities. Thus, the modified long clogs game is worthy of being integrated into the Early Childhood Education (PAUD) curriculum as a local culture-based learning medium that is able to develop children’s physical, social, and emotional aspects comprehensively.

The study was an attempt to analyse the biomechanical aspects of drag push movements in professional and amateur indoor hockey players. This study was a cross-sectional assay in which a sample of 10 (five professional and five amateur) athletes were included. Analysis were concentrating on several kinematic variables including ball speed, foot support width, distance between the ball and front foot, drag trajectory length, drag phase duration and average drag velocity. A high-speed camera, Kinovea motion analysis software and speed gun were used to collect data. Results from the analysis revealed that two primary variables were significantly different between groups, the drag time differed significantly: 0.30 seconds for the professional group and 0.42 seconds for the amateur group (p = 0.046). Strange enough, average drag speed was even elevated to 1.68 m/s in amateur athletes (vs a value of 1.30 m/s in professionals), though being not significant (p = 0.839) and also not translated into increased ball speed gained with each OF shot, and drag distance (p = 0.005). The ball speed swung by professional and amateur players was virtually higher in the former, but it did not reach a statistical significance. These results support the knowledge that drag push power depends on the capacity of efficiently linking the coordination to optimize drag trajectory. According to these findings, the current study recommends that training programs for amateur hockey players should pay more attention on enhancing dynamic skills for better drag push performance in indoor-hockey.

Early motor skill development is essential for socioemotional development, cognitive development, and physical preparedness. However, children’s chances for sufficient motor stimulation have decreased in Indonesia due to shifting activity patterns and constrained play areas. A culturally grounded educational alternative that gives organic and comprehensive motor experiences is traditional Indonesian games. This study aims to summarize evidence on the potential of traditional games as inclusive and sustainable methods to support Indonesian children’s development. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) in accordance with PRISMA 2020, looking for articles published between 2015 and 2025 using Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Ten of the 1,222 records that were found satisfied the requirements for inclusion following screening and quality evaluation using the JBI checklist. Research demonstrates that games like engklek, gobak sodor, bentengan, congklak, and bekel regularly improve hand-eye coordination, muscular strength, agility, balance, and coordination. Significant improvements were seen in both the gross and fine motor domains throughout interventions spanning 4–8 weeks with two–three weekly sessions. Additionally, traditional games promote sensorimotor learning, social interaction, and intrinsic drive. Traditional games are an efficient, affordable, and culturally appropriate way to assist preschool motor development, despite the fact that many studies used quasi-experimental techniques with small sample sizes. These findings offer compelling evidence for its incorporation into national curricular efforts and early childhood education practices.

This study aims to analyze the effect of lower body exercises using rubber bands on the kinematic parameters of kicking technique in female soccer players. The method used is a single-group quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest, involving 10 female soccer players from the Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia who participated in a six-week training program. This design is useful for determining the effect of rubber bands on the lower leg muscles after treatment. Kinematic data were analyzed using Skillspector 1.3, while kicking speed was tested using a paired sample t-test. The results showed an increase in several joint angles, particularly an increase in hip and ankle movement during the preparation and impact phases, as well as a more controlled and efficient follow-through pattern. Joint movements that changed angle a values indicated that treatment with rubber bands affected muscle reactions. An significant increase in kicking speed was also found, rising from 54.71 ± 6.86 km/h to 59.86 ± 8.63 km/h (p = 0.024), indicating increased strength and force transfer after training. These findings suggest that rubber band training effectively improves biomechanical efficiency and kicking speed, making it a recommended method for developing kicking skills and treating kicking injuries in female soccer players in Indonesia.
