Abstract

Children's general well-being is greatly influenced by physical fitness and leading a healthy lifestyle, although there are differences depending on the sociocultural context. The objective is to examine how healthy lifestyle choices affect school-age children's levels of physical fitness in Pakistan and Indonesia. The study provides valuable insights for educators, health practitioners, and policymakers to design strategies that promote healthier behaviours among children in diverse cultural settings. Methods: Researchers conducted cross-sectional research comparing 375 junior high school pupils from Pakistan (n = 182) and Indonesia (n = 193). The Multistage Fitness Test (MFT) was used to measure physical fitness levels, and a healthy living questionnaire was used to collect data. To assess the differences between the two groups, statistical analyses were conducted using independent sample t-tests, homogeneity tests, and normality tests. Result: The homogeneity and normality tests confirmed that the data were suitable for parametric analysis. The two groups' levels of physical fitness (t = 3.431, p = 0.000) and healthy lifestyle (t = 4.059, p = 0.000) differed significantly, according to the independent sample t-test. Compared to their Pakistani counterparts, Indonesian students demonstrated greater levels of physical fitness and a healthier lifestyle. These results suggest that students' fitness levels and lifestyle choices may be influenced by sociocultural, environmental, and educational conditions.Conclusion: Compared to Pakistani students, Indonesian students demonstrate greater levels of physical fitness and healthier lifestyle choices, underscoring the need for focused interventions to enhance the well-being of children in both nations. These findings can help schools, community organisations, and public health authorities develop targeted programs to foster healthy habits and improve youth fitness across different sociocultural contexts. Future studies ought to investigate the root reasons for these disparities and create policies that encourage students in various sociocultural contexts to lead healthier lives. Keywords: Children of School age, Indonesia, Pakistan, Healthy Lifestyle, Physical Fitness.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the High Intensity Interval Training method on improving the anaerobic endurance of soccer players based on their playing positions: Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder, and Striker. The research employed a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of four soccer athletes, each representing a different playing position. The High Intensity Interval Training program was carried out over a period of four weeks with a training frequency of twice per week. Anaerobic endurance was measured using the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) both before and after the intervention. The data from the pre-test and post-test were analyzed using a paired t-test. Analysis using SPSS version 23 revealed a statistically significant improvement in the anaerobic endurance of the soccer players after participating in the High Intensity Interval Training program, with a significance value of 0.023 (p < 0.05). These findings support the effectiveness of the High Intensity Interval Training method as an efficient physical training approach to enhance the anaerobic component of soccer athletes across various playing positions.

Abstract

Pickleball has experienced rapid growth in participation; however, this trend has been accompanied by an increasing incidence of musculoskeletal injuries. This study aimed to assess injury risk among Indonesian pickleball athletes using the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and to examine its potential as a predictive tool for injury prevention. A quantitative prospective cohort design was employed, involving 35 athletes (30 amateurs and 5 professionals) monitored over a 12-month competitive season. Baseline FMS assessments were administered by certified raters, and injuries were recorded weekly. Injury was defined as any condition resulting in at least one day of absence from training or competition. The results showed that professional players demonstrated significantly higher FMS scores (mean = 16.0) compared to amateur players (mean = 12.3). During the season, 18 injuries were documented, predominantly knee and ankle injuries among amateurs and shoulder injuries among professionals. Logistic regression analysis indicated that lower FMS scores were significantly associated with a higher risk of injury, with each one-point decrease in FMS score increasing injury risk by 2.85 times (OR = 2.85; 95% CI = X–X; p < 0.05). These findings suggest that FMS is an effective screening and predictive tool for analyze injury risk in pickleball athletes and can support the development of targeted preventive training programs, particularly for amateur players. Notably, this study contributes novel evidence to the limited body of research examining injury risk profiling in pickleball athletes using validated movement screening tools, especially within the Indonesian context.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of various recovery methods and rehydration on heart rate and blood pressure. The 24 athletes (age 24,3±5,1 years, 67,6±16 kg, 166,5±5,2 cm, and VO2max 40,6±2,25 ml/kg/min) divided into six treatment groups, namely K1 (passive recovery), K2 (active recovery), K3 (isotonic fluids), K4 (green coconut water), K5 (active recovery+isotonic fluids), and K6 (active recovery+green coconut water). All subjects underwent a fatigue protocol using the Yoyo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YYIRT1), blood pressure and heart rate were measured pre and post the recovery intervention to assess the effects of various types of treatment. The results of this study indicate that active recovery, passive recovery, rehydration fluid administration, and their combination did not reduce systolic blood pressure (p>0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the reduction of diastolic blood pressure (p=0.045). The recovery method using isotonic fluids (K3) showed the highest reduction in diastolic pressure compared to the other treatments. The results of the difference test analysis show a significant difference in heart rate after treatment in each group (p=0.013). Similar results were also found for the difference value between treatments (p=0.004). This study show that the recovery method using isotonic fluids showed the highest reduction in diastolic pressure and heart rate after high intensity exercise compared to the other treatments. Active recovery method after exercise showed most significant decrease in heart rate after exercise.

Abstract

Indonesian women's football began to develop in 1969 with the formation of the first women's football team. It then began to receive more attention in 2019 with the official competition, namely the women's league 1 (one) created by the PSSI. However, there has been no follow-up women's league activities in Indonesia since the pandemic. The development of Indonesian women's football has not been accompanied by a sustainable coaching system and adequate institutional support at the school, club, and national levels. The availability of scientific data on the physiological and anthropometric characteristics of female players is still limited. Understanding the physiological and anthropometric characteristics of players is crucial in the process of screening potential, developing, training, and coaching athletes to support optimal performance. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the latest findings related to the physiological and anthropometric characteristics of female soccer players as a basis or reference to support the selection process, athlete development, and the development of appropriate and effective data-based training methods to improve women's soccer performance at the national and international levels. This study uses a literature review approach with a narrative review type. The sources of the articles analyzed were obtained from online databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science with keywords combined using Boolean operators namely AND, OR, and NOT. The results of the literature review show physiological and anthropometric characteristics that vary across age groups and player positions. A player's physical abilities and body proportions greatly support performance on the field. Therefore, this literature review can be used as a reference or relevant norm in the selection process, coaching, and training tailored to the profile of each athlete to improve women's soccer performance in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of dietary patterns and sedentary lifestyle on the learning outcomes of tenth-grade students at SMAN 1 Driyorejo. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational research design to examine the relationships and effects among the variables. The sample consisted of 35 students from class X-11 selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included questionnaires on dietary patterns, sedentary lifestyle behavior, and documentation of students’ academic achievement. The collected data were analyzed using instrument validity testing, descriptive statistical analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, t-test, and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that dietary patterns have a positive and significant effect on students’ learning outcomes, while sedentary lifestyle shows a significant influence with a tendency to reduce academic performance. Furthermore, the regression analysis reveals that dietary patterns and sedentary lifestyle simultaneously contribute significantly to variations in students’ learning outcomes. These findings emphasize that balanced nutritional intake and adequate physical activity play an important role in supporting students’ concentration, learning stamina, and academic performance. Therefore, improving dietary habits and reducing sedentary behavior are essential strategies for enhancing students’ learning outcomes in the digital era.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct an in-depth bibliometric analysis of the evolution of scientific publication trends regarding the impact of social support on athlete performance. Unlike previous studies that were often partial to specific sports or age groups, this research examines literature holistically from the Scopus database without demographic specification limitations to obtain a comprehensive global overview. Using VOSviewer software, this study maps publication patterns, influential authors, top journals, and the intellectual structure linking social support with mental resilience and athlete achievement. The results show a significant surge in publications over the last decade, with the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia as dominant contributing countries. Key findings identify that social support functions as a crucial multidimensional mechanism for athletes' emotional stability across various competitive levels. This study provides strategic insights for coaches and sports practitioners to integrate psychosocial interventions into team management and recommends future researchers expand data coverage beyond Scopus to bridge existing literature gaps.
