Abstract

The rapid development of digital technology has significantly transformed children’s daily activities, with screen-based engagement increasingly replacing physical movement and direct social interaction. This shift has contributed to the early emergence of sedentary lifestyles, which may negatively affect children’s overall development. This study aims to examine the impact of low physical activity in the digital era on children’s physical, motor, psychological, and social development, as well as to identify strategies for balancing technology use with active behaviors. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted using the Scopus database with the keywords physical inactivity, digital era lifestyle, sedentary behavior, and child development. Following PRISMA guidelines, the review process included identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages. Of the 89 studies initially identified, 15 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The findings indicate that increased exposure to digital media such as smartphones, online games, and social media is associated with reduced physical activity. This condition increases the risk of obesity, decreased motor competence, sleep disturbances, and psychological issues such as stress and loneliness. School-age children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Family supervision, digital parenting, and supportive environments play key roles in mitigating these risks. Overall, balanced technology use and active lifestyles are essential for children’s healthy development.

Abstract

Motor coordination is an essential component of adolescent physical development; however, traditional sports extracurricular programs often employ repetitive and less structured training methods that limit optimal motor skill development. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a game-based learning model in improving motor coordination among students participating in traditional sports extracurricular activities. The study used a one-group pretest-posttest design and a quasi-experimental methodology. Purposive sampling was used to choose 30 students between the ages of 15 and 17. Over the course of four weeks, observations, documentation, and motor coordination tests (hand-eye and foot-eye coordination) were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics and the paired sample t-test were used to analyze the data. The mean scores for hand-eye coordination and foot-eye coordination increased from 14,37 to 17,37 and 3,03 to 3,67, respectively, according to the data. The results of the hypothesis test indicate a significance level of 0,000 (p<0,05), which indicates a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test. In addition, the effect size indicates a large category for hand-eye coordination (d=0,88) and a medium category for foot-eye coordination (d=0,72). In conclusion, the game-based learning model can be used as a creative strategy in conventional sports extracurricular programs and is successful in enhancing students' motor coordination.

Abstract

Leadership is an important aspect in shaping student character, and can be developed not only through classroom learning but also through extracurricular activities. Volleyball, as a team sport, is thought to foster leadership skills such as teamwork, communication, and decision-making. However, there is no clear evidence as to whether involvement in these activities significantly differentiates the leadership levels of students compared to those who do not participate. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine differences in student leadership levels based on participation in volleyball extracurricular activities at Nyalindung 1 Middle School. This research uses a quantitative approach with a comparative descriptive design. The research sample consisted of 30 students consisting of 15 students who participated in volleyball extracurricular activities and 15 students who did not participate in volleyball extracurricular activities, using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used a student leadership questionnaire consisting of 30 statements with a 4-point Likert scale. The results of the reliability test showed a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.862, which indicates a reliable instrument. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the average leadership score of students who participated in volleyball extracurricular activities was 108.07, while that of students who did not participate in volleyball extracurricular activities was 104.80. The results of the normality test showed that one of the data groups was not normally distributed, so the hypothesis test was carried out using the Mann-Whitney test. Hasil uji Mann-Whitney menunjukkan nilai Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) sebesar 0,603 > 0,05, yang berarti tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kedua kelompok. The effect size value of 0.09 indicates that the difference that occurred was in the small effect category. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that students who participate in volleyball extracurricular activities have a slightly higher level of leadership descriptively, but the difference is not statistically significant.

Abstract

Freestyle swimming speed is one of the main indicators of achievement of swimming athletes, especially in adolescent athletes who are still in the development stage of technical skills and physical condition. Mastery of basic techniques and arm muscle strength are important factors that can affect the effectiveness of movement and swimming speed, but they do not necessarily develop in a balanced manner in every athlete. This study aims to determine the relationship between mastery of basic techniques and arm muscle strength at freestyle swimming speed in adolescent athletes. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The research sample amounted to 20 adolescent athletes who were selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through testing and measurement, namely assessment of basic techniques using observation sheets, measurement of arm muscle strength through physical tests, and measurement of swimming speed using a 50-meter swimming time. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the Spearman correlation test because some data were not distributed normally. The results showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between mastery of basic techniques and arm muscle strength (r = 0.467; p < 0.05). In addition, arm muscle strength also had a positive and significant relationship with freestyle swimming speed (r = 0.450; p < 0.05). However, the relationship between mastery of basic technique and swimming speed showed a positive but not statistically significant relationship (r = 0.320; p > 0.05). These findings suggest that arm muscle strength has a more dominant role in increasing swimming speed than partial basic technique. The conclusion of this study is that freestyle swimming speed in adolescent athletes is influenced by a combination of mastery of basic technique and arm muscle strength. Therefore, an integrated and balanced training program between improved technique and muscle strength is indispensable to achieve optimal swimming performance.

Abstract

Football is one of the most widely studied sports in physical education research, yet comprehensive mapping of its publication trends remains limited, particularly in the context of developing regions. This research aims to analyze the development of football research thru a bibliometric analysis approach on published research subjects, in order to identify trends in the number of publications, citation trends, journals with the highest number of publications, researcher trends, as well as patterns of research topic relationships thru network visualization, overlay visualization, and density visualization. This research is based on a literature review conducted thru the Scopus database using the Dimensions application, with the assistance of VOSviewer software version 1.6.20. The PRISMA flow diagram (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) is used as a reporting guideline that includes the stages of identification, screening, and study eligibility. The analyzed data includes football research publications released within the period from 2020 to 2025. The results show a consistent increase in football research publications from 2020 to 2024, with 454 articles analyzed. Network visualization identified three research clusters: quantitative-experimental approaches (dominated by SPSS, post-test, and experimental group), qualitative-process approaches (process, experience, value), and outcome-oriented studies. Overlay visualization confirms that experimental and statistical analysis topics are the most recent and active research trends, while a novelty gap exists in integrating statistical methods with process-oriented learning studies.. Thus, current research trends are more focused on experimental approaches and statistical analysis in the context of education.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Pencak Silat extracurricular activities integrated with the Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework on adolescent development. The research is motivated by the growing need to promote character formation and life skills among youth through structured, sport-based educational interventions. A quantitative method employing a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group format was utilized. The sample consisted of 26 adolescents aged 14–18 years, divided equally into an experimental group, which received PYD-integrated Pencak Silat training, and a control group, which participated in conventional training without explicit PYD components. Data were collected using the Positive Youth Development Inventory (PYDI), a validated and reliable instrument measuring six core PYD dimensions: competence, confidence, connection, character, caring, and contribution. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05), with the experimental group demonstrating superior posttest outcomes. Additionally, the normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis yielded a mean score of 0.4258, categorized as moderate, indicating a measurable improvement in PYD dimensions following the intervention. These findings suggest that the integration of PYD principles within Pencak Silat training contributes significantly to adolescents’ holistic development. Beyond its role as a physical activity, Pencak Silat represents a culturally embedded pedagogical medium capable of fostering character education and social competence. The study underscores the potential of value-based traditional sports programs in educational contexts and recommends further research with larger sample sizes and extended intervention durations to enhance generalizability and robustness of findings.

Abstract

Athlete performance in gymnastics is influenced by various psychological factors, particularly motivation, which plays a crucial role in training consistency and competitive outcomes; however, previous studies have shown inconsistent findings regarding whether intrinsic or extrinsic motivation has a more dominant influence, especially among student-athletes in structured training programs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the role of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in improving the performance of gymnastics athletes and to determine the most dominant motivational factor. This study employs a quantitative approach with a correlational method, involving 11 gymnastics athletes who are members of the Student Education and Training Center (PPLP) program selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires using the Sport Motivation Scale II (SMS-II) to measure intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS) to assess athlete performance. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS. The results indicate that intrinsic motivation does not have a significant effect on athlete performance, as evidenced by a t-value of 0.831 and a significance level of 0.430 (>0.05), whereas extrinsic motivation has a significant effect with a t-value of 3.594 and a significance level of 0.007 (<0.05), and emerges as the most dominant variable with a beta coefficient of 0.962. Simultaneously, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation significantly influence athlete performance (F = 8.770; p = 0.010 < 0.05), while the coefficient of determination (R Square) of 0.687 indicates that 68.7% of the variation in athlete performance is explained by these variables, confirming that extrinsic motivation plays a more dominant role in this context.

Abstract

Referees play a central role in the organization of football matches, especially in children's competitions at the district level, where the quality of referee leadership affects the development of young talents, sportsmanship, and organizational image. The need for educational communication and match management that matches the characteristics of players demands a young evaluation of referee performance that is specific to the local context. This study aims to analyze the performance level of football referees in the 2026 Bekasi Regency Askab Children's League competition and identify the most dominant aspects of performance and aspects that still need to be improved based on indicators of decision accuracy, match control, physical fitness, communication, and teamwork. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design to get an overview of the performance conditions of the referee at a certain time without special treatment. The subject in this study is the referee who is responsible for the competition, while the assessment is carried out by observers who have competence in the field of refereeing. The instrument used is a referee performance assessment questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1–5 which includes aspects of decision accuracy, match control, physical fitness, communication, and teamwork. The data obtained was analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of average scores, standard deviations, minimum and maximum scores, with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study showed that the overall performance of referees was in the high category in all aspects measured. The decision accuracy aspect received the highest score of 77.48%, followed by teamwork at 76.68%, physical fitness at 76.58%, match control at 75.56%, and communication at 75.28% as the lowest score, although still in the high category. These findings show that referees have good competence in carrying out their duties during the match. However, the communication aspect still needs to be improved to support the effectiveness of interaction with players and officials and minimize potential conflicts on the field.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the declining interest of students in participating in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PE) learning, which is influenced by the dominance of digital technology, monotonous teaching methods, and the lack of innovative learning media. In the current digital era, students tend to prefer technology-based activities over physical activities, which has an impact on their engagement in PE learning. Therefore, innovative approaches such as gamification-based learning media are needed to create more engaging and interactive learning experiences. This study aims to determine the effect of the use of gamification-based learning media on the interest in learning Physical Education, Sports, and Health of class X students of State Senior High School 15 Bandung. The study used a quantitative approach with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 85 students determined using the Slovin formula from a total population of 544 students. Data collection was carried out through a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using simple linear regression assisted by SPSS 17. The results showed that the use of gamification-based learning media had a significant effect on interest in learning Physical Education, Sports, and Health with a significance value of 0.000, a regression coefficient of 0.655, and an R Square value of 0.461. Thus, gamification-based learning media has proven effective in increasing interest in learning Physical Education and can be an alternative innovative learning approach in senior high schools.
