Abstract

Purpose of the study: Shooting accuracy is a fundamental skill in football that significantly influences match outcomes. The relationship between biomechanical factors such as leg muscle power and ankle coordination with shooting precision remains understudied in adolescent populations. Purpose of the study: This research aimed to investigate the correlation between leg muscle power, ankle coordination, and shooting accuracy among junior high school football players participating in extracurricular activities. Materials and methods: Twenty-four male students (age 13.2 ± 0.8 years) from SMP Negeri 4 Lubuk Pakam participated in this cross-sectional study. Leg muscle power was assessed using vertical jump test, ankle coordination through single-leg balance test, and shooting accuracy via standardized target shooting protocol. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis in SPSS v27. Results: Significant positive correlations were found between leg muscle power and shooting accuracy (r = 0.742, p < 0.001) and ankle coordination and shooting accuracy (r = 0.681, p < 0.001). Combined variables explained 67.3% of shooting accuracy variance (R² = 0.673, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Leg muscle power and ankle coordination are significant predictors of shooting accuracy in junior high school football players. Training programs should emphasize both power development and proprioceptive exercises to enhance shooting performance.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with only 3.3% of the population meeting the recommended intake of ≥5 servings per day. This condition highlights the need for innovative, fiber-based food products that can increase public interest in healthy eating. Integrating entrepreneurship education into nutrition programs provides an opportunity to develop nutritious and commercially viable food products, such as vegetable kebabs. Materials and methods: This study employed a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data from a healthy food bazaar conducted by undergraduate nutrition students at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Bina Bangsa University, in April 2024. Business feasibility was assessed using Revenue–Cost (R/C) ratio analysis, while strategic positioning was evaluated through SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis, including IFAS and EFAS matrix assessments. Results: The total production cost for 30 vegetable kebabs per day was IDR 227,200, with total revenue of IDR 300,000 and a net profit of IDR 72,800. The R/C ratio was 1.32, indicating that the business is financially feasible (R/C > 1). SWOT analysis showed a strong internal factor score (2.24) and external factor score (2.01), positioning the business in Quadrant I (growth-oriented strategy). Key strengths included strategic location, affordable pricing, and guaranteed product quality, while opportunities were supported by digital promotion and increasing health awareness among students. Conclusions: The vegetable kebab business demonstrates strong financial feasibility and strategic growth potential. As an entrepreneurship-based educational initiative, this product provides practical learning experience for nutrition students while contributing to the development of healthy, innovative food businesses.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sports massage therapy in the rehabilitation of muscle injuries, examining its impact on pain reduction, functional recovery, range of motion, and return-to-activity timelines. The study synthesizes current evidence to provide clinical recommendations for practitioners and identify areas requiring further investigation. Materials and methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases from inception to September 2024. The review followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), quasi-experimental studies, and cohort studies examining sports massage interventions for acute and chronic muscle injuries. Two independent reviewers screened 1,847 records, with 23 studies meeting inclusion criteria for qualitative synthesis and 15 for quantitative analysis. Data extraction focused on intervention characteristics, outcome measures, pain scales, functional assessments, and adverse events. Results: The analysis included 23 studies encompassing 1,456 participants with various muscle injuries (strains, contusions, delayed onset muscle soreness). Sports massage demonstrated significant improvements in pain reduction (mean difference: -1.8 points on VAS, 95% CI: -2.3 to -1.3, p<0.001), enhanced range of motion (mean increase: 12.4°, 95% CI: 8.7 to 16.1, p<0.001), and accelerated functional recovery compared to passive rest or standard care. Optimal treatment protocols involved 2-3 sessions per week for 15-30 minutes during acute phases, transitioning to maintenance protocols. No serious adverse events were reported. Heterogeneity in massage techniques, injury types, and outcome measurement tools was noted across studies. Conclusions: Sports massage represents an effective, safe adjunct therapy for muscle injury rehabilitation, demonstrating clinically significant improvements in pain management, functional restoration, and recovery acceleration. Evidence supports its integration into comprehensive rehabilitation programs, particularly when combined with therapeutic exercise and progressive loading protocols. Future research should standardize intervention protocols, establish optimal dosing parameters, and investigate long-term outcomes and injury prevention effects.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the rubber jumping game (permainan lompat karet), a traditional Indonesian game, in enhancing both fine and gross motor skills among Group B children (aged 5–6 years) at RA Asiah Pekanbaru, Riau Province, Indonesia. Materials and methods: A classroom action research (CAR) design was employed across two cycles, involving 10 participants (6 males, 4 females). Data were collected through direct observation using structured observation sheets with a four-point developmental rating scale (BB, MB, BSH, BSB). Quantitative descriptive and qualitative analyses were applied to evaluate children’s motor development progression across pre-cycle, Cycle I, and Cycle II phases. Results: Pre-intervention assessment revealed critically low mean scores for fine motor skills (6.00%) and gross motor skills (6.10%). Following Cycle I, fine motor scores increased to 12.00% and gross motor scores to 9.00%. After Cycle II, substantial improvements were observed with fine motor scores reaching 20.60% and gross motor scores reaching 18.40%. Classical learning completeness achieved 80%, categorized as “very high” based on established success criteria. By Cycle II, 70% of children attained “Developing Very Well” (BSB) status for both motor domains. Conclusions: The rubber jumping game demonstrated significant efficacy in enhancing both fine and gross motor skills in early childhood settings. The integration of traditional games into the early childhood education curriculum offers a culturally relevant, cost-effective, and enjoyable pedagogical strategy for holistic motor development.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Sports-related muscle injuries, including strains, tears, contusions, and delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), account for up to half of all sports injuries and are a major cause of time-loss in athletes. Massage therapy is widely used as an adjunctive treatment, yet its efficacy across injury types and athletic populations remains variably reported. To systematically evaluate and quantify the effectiveness and safety of massage therapy for sports-related muscle injuries in adult athletes, and to explore dose–response relationships, moderating factors, and remaining evidence gaps. Materials and methods: This systematic review and meta-analysis followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were searched from inception to 31 October 2024. Eligible studies included randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and prospective cohorts evaluating massage therapy for sports-related muscle injuries in adults, compared with placebo, usual care, other therapeutic modalities, or no treatment. Primary outcomes were pain, range of motion (ROM), functional recovery, return-to-play, and muscle damage biomarkers (e.g. serum creatine kinase [CK]). Risk of bias was assessed using RoB 2 for trials and Newcastle–Ottawa Scale for observational studies. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted; heterogeneity was quantified with I², and certainty of evidence graded using GRADE. Results: Forty-seven studies (n = 3,284; 19 countries; 2000–2024) met inclusion criteria; 42 were pooled meta-analytically. Massage therapy significantly reduced pain versus control (standardized mean difference [SMD] = −0.87; 95% CI −1.12 to −0.62; p < 0.001), improved ROM (SMD = 0.64; 95% CI 0.38 to 0.91; p < 0.001), and reduced serum CK (SMD = −0.64; 95% CI −1.04 to −0.25; p = 0.001). Effects on DOMS were large, peaking 48–72 h post-intervention (SMD up to −1.51). Deep tissue massage showed greater pain reduction than Swedish, sports-specific, or myofascial techniques (p = 0.008). Bi-weekly protocols with 40–60 min sessions were associated with the most favorable outcomes. Team sport and strength-training athletes exhibited the largest performance and recovery benefits. Adverse events were rare and mild; no serious events were reported. Evidence certainty was rated high for pain and DOMS, and moderate for ROM and CK. Conclusions: Massage therapy is an effective, safe, and evidence-based complementary intervention for sports-related muscle injuries, particularly for pain relief, DOMS attenuation, and functional recovery acceleration. Deep tissue massage delivered bi-weekly for 40–60 minutes appears optimal. Integration of massage therapy into multimodal rehabilitation and return-to-play strategies is supported, although further research is needed on comparative effectiveness, dose–response, and long-term outcomes.
