Physical condition is the main foundation that determines the quality of athletes' performance in taekwondo. The characteristics of the competition, which require explosive movements, high speed, and the ability to maintain intensity, make aerobic endurance, speed, and muscle strength crucial physical components. This study aims to determine and describe the physical condition profile of taekwondo athletes from the Cirebon District Training Center. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample consisted of 11 athletes (5 females and 6 males) aged 15–20 years who were selected using total sampling technique. Data were obtained from physical condition tests, including a 20-meter sprint, 200-meter sprint, 1-minute sit-ups, 1-minute push-ups, 1-minute back-ups, and the Balke Test to estimate VO₂Max. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics in the form of mean values, standard deviations, minimum values, and maximum values. The results showed that, in general, the athletes' physical condition was in the adequate category. However, when assessed based on the norms, most athletes were still in the poor to very poor category. There were clear variations in ability among athletes in each component of physical condition. These findings indicate a gap between the actual physical condition of athletes and the performance standards required in taekwondo. Therefore, a more focused, structured, and sustainable physical training program is needed so that improvements in athletes' physical condition can be more evenly distributed and optimal.

The management of drills in swimming for school-age athletes (6-18 years old) requires a very high level of precision with a minimum fault tolerance threshold of up to 1%. This study aims to determine the optimal management of drill exercises to improve the technical performance of athletes in a sustainable manner. The method used is a literature review of 9 relevant sources published between 2020 and 2026. The results of the analysis show four main pillars in the management of drill exercises: (1) integrating the coach's understanding of sport science and biomechanical analysis to objectively identify technical deviations; (2) selection of specific training programs according to the needs of individual athletes; (3) the application of undulating or non-linear periodization which has been shown to be more effective in maintaining performance consistency and preventing neuromuscular saturation in young athletes; and (4) the use of assistive devices such as pull buoys, fins, and buoys, as well as motion analysis technologies (such as Kinovea) to isolate technical weaknesses and improve movement efficiency in the water. Overall, the synergy between data-driven planning, rigorous operational standardization, and continuous evaluation is a key foundation in optimizing long-term swimming performance.

Physical condition is a determining factor that determines an athlete's ability to maintain peak performance and technical mastery under competitive pressure. This study aims to analyze the contribution and relationship between physical condition and the medal achievements of Tarung Derajat athletes from Bandung Regency at the 2025 West Java Provincial Student Sport Week (POPDA) XIV event. The research method used is quantitative descriptive with a correlational design and a one-shot case study approach. The research subjects involved 26 athletes (14 male and 12 female) selected using the total sampling technique. The test instruments included flexibility, speed, agility, strength, and endurance, while performance data was converted into numerical scores based on medal achievements. The Shapiro-Wilk normality test showed that the performance data was not normally distributed, so hypothesis testing used Spearman's correlation. The Spearment’s correlation test confirmed a very strong and statistically significant positive relationship between total physical condition and medal achievement with a correlation coefficient of (rs= 0.927; ρ = 0.001) because, this finding empirically proves that physical condition quality is a determining factor that is directly proportional to the chances of winning medals, where the better the athlete’s physical condition, the greater the athlete’s chances of achieving maximum performance.

Basic locomotor movement skills are part of fundamental movement skills (FMS), which develop in childhood and form an important foundation for mastering more complex specific motor skills. Basic movement skills that do not develop optimally will have a direct impact on children's ability to participate in more complex floor exercise activities. Therefore, in the context of physical education, especially floor gymnastics activities, the lack of readiness in basic locomotor skills has the potential to hinder the achievement of learning outcomes targeted by the curriculum. This study aims to determine the relationship between basic locomotor skills and learning outcomes in floor gymnastics activities. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method with a correlational technique. The population in this study were students at Public Junior High School 40 Bandung, specifically those in grade VII, with a total of 290 students. The sample in this study used simple random sampling, with samples taken randomly by lottery, namely VII-A, which consisted of 32 students. The instrument used in this study to measure basic locomotor skills was the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2), while for learning outcomes in floor exercises, the researcher used assessments of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The results of data analysis showed that the correlation coefficient of variable X with Y (rxy) was 0.603, which was categorized as having a strong correlation level, namely in the range of 0.60-0.799. This value also indicated a positive relationship between basic locomotor skills and learning outcomes in floor exercises.

This research was motivated by children's preference for screen-based games that involve minimal physical activity over games that involve direct physical movement. This condition has contributed to a decline in the physical fitness levels of elementary school aged children. This study aims to assess the effect of traditional games on the physical health of sixth-grade students at Wates 02 Public Elementary School in Semarang City. A one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design was employed in a quantitative study. 28 sixth-grade pupils that were chosen using a saturation sample technique made up the research subjects. The Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI) was employed as the research instrument for ages 10 to 12 years. The data were examined descriptively and inferentially using normality, homogeneity, Wilcoxon, and r-square tests. The average physical fitness score of pupils increased from 15.29 in the pretest to 21.89 in the posttest, according to the results. The results of the Wilcoxon test indicated a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results following the installation of traditional games, with a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the outcomes of the R-squared test suggested that traditional games enhanced students' physical fitness by 50.4%. Based on these results, it can be claimed that the installation of traditional games has a major influence on boosting the physical fitness of sixth-grade students at Wates 02 Public Elementary School in Semarang City.

Physical inactivity among adolescents has become an increasingly worrying problem, highlighting the importance of physical education in fostering lifelong active behavior through the development of physical literacy. This study examines the relationship between physical literacy and physical activity levels among junior high school students in the context of school based physical education. A quantitative correlational design was used, involving 60 eighth grade students from a public junior high school in Bandung, Indonesia, who were selected using total sampling techniques. Physical literacy was measured using a validated questionnaire covering motor skills, motivation, knowledge, and self confidence, while physical activity levels were measured using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A). The data were analyzed using Pearson's product moment correlation and simple linear regression, after testing for normality and linearity. The results of the analysis showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between physical literacy and physical activity levels (p = 0.006; B = 0.467), indicating that students with higher physical literacy tended to be more active in participating in physical activities. These findings highlight the important role of physical education in developing physical literacy, which in turn contributes to increased participation in physical activity among adolescents. Strengthening physical literacy through structured and meaningful physical education learning is therefore essential for promoting active and sustainable lifestyles among junior high school students.

Physical inactivity among adolescents is a growing public health concern that may negatively affect cognitive and motor development. In Indonesia, many children and adolescents do not meet recommended physical activity levels, a situation worsened by sedentary lifestyles and increased screen time. This study aims to analyze the impact of physical activity and social support on the cognitive ability and motor skills of students. The studi uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive quantitative method and an associative causal design (ex post facto). Using the stratified random sample technique, 60 students from Senior High School Bhayangkari Bandung participated in the study. Physical activity was measured using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Adolescents (PAQ-A), social support was measured using the Social Support Scale for Exercise Behavior, cognitive ability was measured using the General Cognitive Assessment Battery (GCAB) based on a computer, and motor skills were measured using the Motorische Basiskompetenzen (MOBAK) level 2 instrument. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis. The research results show that physical activity has a positive and significant impact on cognitive and motor skills, and is the most dominant factor compared to social support. Social support also has a positive and significant impact on cognitive and motor skills, although its contribution is smaller compared to physical activity. Simultaneously, physical activity and social support significantly influence cognitive and motor skills, indicating that both factors contribute together to support the development of learners. Adequate physical activity and social support are important factors that need to be considered in efforts to improve students' cognitive and motor skills.

Speed is a crucial physical component in pencak silat, particularly in executing the sickle kick technique, which plays an important role in scoring effectiveness during matches. However, school-age pencak silat athletes often demonstrate limited kick speed due to insufficient specific strength and neuromuscular development. Therefore, training methods that integrate strength development with technical movement specificity are needed to optimize performance. This study aims to analyze the effect of resistance training integrated with the sickle kick technique on increasing the speed of the sickle kick of school-age pencak silat athletes. The study used a quantitative approach with an experimental method through a one-group pretest–posttest design. The subjects consisted of 10 school-age pencak silat athletes who participated in extracurricular pencak silat activities at Muhammadiyah 6 Junior High School Bandung, with a total sampling technique. The treatment was resistance training using a resistance band which was carried out for 14 meetings with a frequency of three times per week. Measurement of the sickle kick speed was carried out by counting the number of kicks executed correctly within 10 seconds towards paching during the pretest and posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and paired samples t-tests at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed an increase in the average value of the sickle kick speed from 15.60 in the pretest to 18.80 in the posttest. The paired samples t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that resistance training significantly increased the speed of the sickle kick in school-age pencak silat athletes. This finding confirms that resistance training based on specific movement techniques is effective in developing the performance of school-age pencak silat athletes.
