This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Long Interval Training (LIT) method adapted to high Maximum Aerobic Speed (MAS) capacity on increasing aerobic capacity. Aerobic capacity is the body’s ability to absorb and use oxygen during exercise and is closely related to VO₂max. This capacity is important for physical performance, especially in middle and long distance races. This study used an experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design through purposive sampling. The treatment was given for 16 training sessions, and the measurement test was carried out with the Balke Test before and after treatment (pre-test and posttest). Data were analyzed using Data Descriptive Analysis, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, and Paired Samples t-Test test. The results showed a significant increase in VO₂max value after treatment. The Paired Samples t-Test test shows a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.018, which is smaller than 0.05, so there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. This proves that the high MAS-based LIT method is effective in increasing aerobic capacity. This study emphasizes the importance of good training load management, close supervision, and proper recovery strategies. Therefore, although the LIT method was shown to be effective, safe and sustainable implementation should consider the athlete’s overall training load to prevent injury and fatigue.

This study aims to determine the effect of ladder drill training on stepping agility in learn-to-train taekwondo athletes. Agility training is very important in taekwondo because technical movements such as attacks and dodges require the ability to change direction and high speed of movement. This study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, involving 12 taekwondo athletes aged 9–12 years from Dojang Dozen, Cimahi City. The instrument used was a validated taekwondo agility test. The treatment in the form of a ladder drill training program was given 16 times for 5 weeks, with movement variations such as 2 shifts in and out, 2 switches in and out, in and out 2 sifts sideways, hop forward back and switch. After the ladder drill treatment and posttest, the posttest data was obtained with a good category agility value (agile movement) is 26.85 and the less agile category agility is 29.20, and the average pretest percentage is 28.88 and the average posttest percentage is 28.15, with an increase between the pretest and posttest of 2.5%. The results of the paired sample test showed that there was a significant increase in the post-test score compared to the pre-test, with a significance value of 0.000 (2-tailed) < 0.05. These findings prove that ladder drill is effective in improving stepping agility in young athletes, and can be used as an alternative training method in taekwondo coaching programs.

This study aims to determine the effect of implementing the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGFU) model through Soccer Like Games on students’ futsal playing skills. The research design used was an experiment with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The subjects were 30 fourth and fifth grade students of the futsal extracurricular at YWKA Elementary School in Bandung City who were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument used the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) which assesses three aspects of playing skills, namely decision making, skill execution, and support. Data were collected through direct observation during the game and analyzed using SPSS version 21 with the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, homogeneity test, and Paired Sample t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ futsal playing skills after implementing TGFU learning through Soccer Like Games, with the average score increasing from 9.19 (pre-test) to 12.88 (post-test) (p < 0.05). This learning model is effective in improving decision-making skills, skill execution, and support in game situations. These findings recommend the implementation of TGFU as an alternative to physical education learning, especially in game sports.

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between sedentary behavior and cognitive function in phase C elementary school students (aged 10–12 years). A quantitative approach with a correlational design was used in 291 students in Cibeunying Kidul District, Bandung City. Sedentary behavior was measured using the Adolescent Sedentary Activity Questionnaire (ASAQ), while cognitive function was measured using the Indonesian version of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Data analysis was performed using Spearman’s rho correlation test. The results showed a significant but weak negative relationship between sedentary behavior and cognitive function (r = –0.121; p = 0.040). This finding indicates that the higher the level of sedentary behavior, the lower the child’s cognitive function score. Theoretically, these results support the view that physical activity plays an important role in maintaining and improving cognitive function, while sedentary behavior can hinder it. The practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of involving parents, teachers, and schools in reducing the duration of children’s sedentary activities through programs that increase enjoyable physical activity and are integrated with learning activities. This study contributes to local literature regarding the impact of sedentary behavior on the cognitive development of elementary school-aged children.

This study aims to deeply understand the relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and mental health among non-sports students in Indonesia post-pandemic. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, 63 students from various non-sports study programs at the Indonesian University of Education were selected through purposive sampling, ultimately selecting 10 students. Data were collected using the ASAQ and DASS-21 questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, observations, and document reviews, then analyzed inductively following the Miles and Huberman model. The results showed that the majority of participants spent more than eight hours per day in passive activities such as sitting, lying down, and using devices, with low awareness of the long-term impacts. Symptoms included stress, anxiety, sleep disturbances, emotional exhaustion, and psychosomatic complaints. Sedentary patterns were formed through academic pressure, limited mobility, minimal social support, and the misperception of rest and laziness. These findings underscore the need for campus-based multidimensional interventions that integrate physical activity promotion and mental health enhancement. This study contributes to the literature by exploring students’ subjective perspectives, providing a basis for relevant health prevention and promotion strategies in the digital age.

This study aims to determine the effect of leg press and leg extension training on long passing ability in Citra Pratama U-15 football athletes. The research method used is an experiment with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The research sample consisted of 20 athletes divided into two groups, each receiving leg press or leg extension training for six weeks. The instrument used was the Barrow Long Distance Kick Test to measure long passing ability before and after treatment. Data analysis was carried out using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene’s homogeneity test, paired t-test, and independent t-test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed: (1) Leg press training had a significant effect on increasing long passing (sig. 0.000), with an average increase of 32%. (2) Leg extension training also had a significant effect on long passing (sig. 0.000), with an average increase of 37%. (3) There was a significant difference in effect between the two exercises (sig. 0.007), where leg extension training provided a greater increase than leg press. In conclusion, both types of training are effective in improving long passing ability, but leg extension is superior in providing increased distance and shooting accuracy in U-15 football athletes.

This study aims to describe the physical fitness level of students with disabilities in Special Education Schools using the Harvard Step Test method. The subjects consisted of 13 students aged 11–20 years with various types of disabilities, including intellectual disability, physical disability, hearing impairment, speech disorder, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The test was carried out through a five-minute step-up exercise, followed by pulse measurement during the recovery phase to calculate the Fitness Index. The findings revealed that most students were in the low fitness category. A total of 76.9% of participants fell into the very poor category, 15.4% into the poor category, and only 7.7% achieved the average category, with an overall mean Fitness Index of 52.4. Variation in results was found only among students with intellectual disabilities, while students with physical disabilities, speech disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and ADHD were entirely in the very poor category. These results may be influenced by physical limitations, low levels of daily physical activity, and the lack of adaptive exercise programs in schools. The findings are consistent with recent studies that highlight the importance of structured, inclusive, and continuous physical activity programs to improve physical fitness and quality of life among students with disabilities.

This research aims to identify and describe the physical condition level of pencak silat athletes from the Persaudaraan Setia Hati Terate (PSHT) Sleman Branch in 2025. Specifically, this study measures the dominant physical components in pencak silat, namely: muscle strength, endurance, speed, agility, flexibility, and explosive power. This study is a quantitative descriptive research using a survey method with tests and measurements. The sample consists of all active athletes training at the PSHT Sleman Branch training center, selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used include (1) the Push-up Test for strength; (2) the Beep Test for endurance; (3) the 30-meter Sprint for speed; (4) the Side Step Test for agility; (5) the Sit and Reach Test for flexibility; and (6) the Standing Jump Board for explosive power. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive percentage statistics to be classified into categories (Very Good, Good, Average, Poor, Very Poor). The results indicate that the physical condition of the PSHT Sleman Branch pencak silat athletes is at a moderate or “average” level, with a total average score of 20 points for both male and female athletes. In detail, female athletes performed best in speed, agility, and flexibility; had average performance in strength and explosive power; and were lacking in endurance. Meanwhile, male athletes excelled in speed, strength, and power; had average performance in agility and flexibility; and were also lacking in endurance. In conclusion, several training programs are recommended to improve the less-than-optimal components. These include High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Fartlek running, and circuit training to enhance endurance; plyometrics and weightlifting for strength and power; and agility ladder drills and dynamic stretching programs to improve the athletes’ flexibility and agility.
