Development of an Android-Based Physical Education Teacher Performance Monitoring System in Tegal Regency
This study was motivated by the results of a questionnaire distributed to the Physical Education Teachers’ Working Group in Tegal Regency regarding the organizational management of the KKG PENJAS. The findings revealed that there is currently no comprehensive, integrated digital-based monitoring system; instead, conventional methods such as physical record-keeping and informal communication are still used during every KKG PENJAS meeting in Tegal Regency. Based on this phenomenon, an Android-based monitoring system could serve as an innovation and solution to address this issue, thereby simplifying and supporting the management process of the KKG PENJAS organization. This study aims to develop an Android-based monitoring system for the integrated, real-time management of the KKG PENJAS organization. The research method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the Borg & Gall development model, which has been modified or simplified to account for various factors, ensuring effective and efficient implementation. The stages include: Research and Information Collection, Product Development, and Product Testing and Evaluation. The subjects of the study were media experts, subject matter experts, and the KKG PENJAS of Tegal Regency. The data collection instruments used were feasibility and effectiveness questionnaires. The research sample was determined using the Purposive Sampling technique within the KKG PENJAS of Tegal Regency. The research results are as follows: The validation results from Media Expert 1 and Media Expert 2, based on the application’s visual design and programming aspects—which received scores of 94% and 88%, respectively—were categorized as “highly feasible or highly valid.” Subsequently, a small-scale pilot test involving 15 teachers yielded a 90% rating in the “highly feasible or highly valid” category, and a large-scale pilot test involving 50 teachers yielded a 95% rating in the “highly feasible or highly valid” category. Based on these results, it has been demonstrated that this Android-based monitoring system is highly feasible for use by the Physical Education Teachers’ Working Group in Tegal Regency

The results of validation by media experts, subject matter experts, and learning experts obtained an average of 92% (excellent category). The small-scale trial obtained 83% (very good), and the large-scale trial obtained 90% (very good). The effectiveness test showed a percentage of 87%, so the E-Module is categorized as effective. Thus, the interactive E-Module developed is feasible and effective for use in supporting learning in junior high schools.
Level of Elderly Participation in Recreational Soccer Activities: A Study of Arnstein's Ladder of Participation
This study aims to analyze the level of participation of older adults in recreational soccer activities based on Arnstein's Ladder of Citizen Participation (1969). Given the rapid growth of the older adult population in Indonesia, this study is important to support sustainable active aging strategies. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with 8 active elderly participants aged 60-65 years in Kediri Regency, specifically at the Mitra Muda Blabak and Amphibi Sambi clubs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation over a period of 2-4 weeks, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. The results showed that 75% of participants fell into the Citizen Power category, 25% into the Tokenism category, and none into the Non-Participation category. These findings indicate that recreational soccer serves as an effective means of social empowerment for older adults, supporting the principle of active aging. However, the presence of tokenism among some participants indicates the need for greater delegation of authority in decision-making. It is recommended that the development of sports programs for older adults focus more on strengthening participant agency and social integration to improve their quality of life in a sustainable manner and reduce participation gaps. Policy implications are needed to ensure more equitable access for older adults to community physical activities.
Pengaruh Latihan Plyometrik dan Kekuatan Otot Kaki terhadap Peningkatan Kecepatan Renang Gaya Dada Jarak 50 Meter Pada Siswa Ekstrakurikuler SMK Bina Bangsa Kersana, Kabupaten Brebes
This study aimed to examine the effects of plyometric exercises, specifically jump to box and depth jump, and leg muscle strength on 50-metre breaststroke speed in students participating in extracurricular swimming at SMK Bina Bangsa Kersana, Brebes Regency. Using a quantitative experimental approach with a 2x2 factorial design, the study involved students undergoing plyometric training for four weeks, three sessions per week. The dependent variable was 50-metre breaststroke speed, and leg muscle strength was considered an attribute variable. The results indicated that both jump to box and depth jump exercises significantly increased swimming speed (F=215.207; p<0.05). Leg muscle strength also had a significant impact (F=51.909; p<0.05), with students possessing higher leg strength achieving faster swimming times. Furthermore, a significant interaction was observed between the type of plyometric exercise and leg muscle strength (F=8.206; p<0.05), suggesting that exercise effectiveness depends on the student’s leg strength. Overall, jump to box training was more effective than depth jump, and students with high leg strength showed the greatest improvement. These findings confirm that structured plyometric training, particularly jump to box exercises, combined with sufficient leg muscle strength, can optimize 50-metre breaststroke performance, making it a recommended approach for enhancing swimming speed in adolescent athletes.
The Relationship between Coach Leadership, Training Motivation, and Training Discipline with the Character of Central Java Degree Fighting Athletes
Tarung Derajat is a martial sport native to Indonesia that has a peculiarity in the athlete character development system that is integrated with the training and competition process. The coaching is not only directed at achieving achievements, but also at instilling the values of discipline, responsibility, respect for coaches and organizations, and mental toughness. This study aims to analyze the relationship between coach leadership, training motivation, and training discipline on the character of Central Java Tarung Derajat athletes. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The research subjects amounted to 141 athletes who were declared to meet the analysis criteria from the total participants of the 2025 Provincial Sports Week (BK Porprov) Qualifying Round. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire that measured the variables of coach leadership, motivation to train, training discipline, and athlete character. Data analysis uses the Spearman correlation test to look at partial relationships and multiple linear regressions to test simultaneous relationships. The results showed that coach leadership, training motivation, and training discipline had a positive and significant relationship with athlete character (p < 0.05). Simultaneously, the three variables showed a strong relationship with the athlete's character with a double correlation coefficient value of R = 0.681 and a contribution of 45.2%, with motivation to train as the most dominant variable. These findings confirm that the character of Tarung Derajat athletes is formed through the integration of effective coach leadership, strong motivation to practice, and the application of consistent and educational training disciplines.

This study aimed to analyze the effect of the Government Free Nutritious Meal Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) on students’ physical fitness, growth, and learning motivation in Jepara Regency. The MBG program represents a national strategic policy designed to enhance human resource quality through balanced nutritional intake for school-aged children. However, empirical studies examining its simultaneous impact on both physical and psychological dimensions remain limited. This research employed a quantitative approach using a pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 220 students from grades VII, VIII, and IX at MTs Mathalibul Huda Mlonggo, Jepara Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Physical fitness was measured using the Indonesian Physical Fitness Test (TKJI), growth status was assessed through Body Mass Index (BMI) based on height and weight measurements, and learning motivation was evaluated using a validated and reliable Likert-scale questionnaire. Data were analyzed through normality testing followed by the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to determine differences before and after program implementation. The findings revealed that the Free Nutritious Meal Program had a statistically significant effect on students’ physical fitness (p < 0.05), as indicated by improved TKJI scores after the intervention. Growth indicators based on BMI categories also showed significant improvement (p < 0.05), reflecting better nutritional status. Furthermore, students’ learning motivation significantly increased (p < 0.05), suggesting that adequate nutritional intake contributed to enhanced energy levels, concentration, and academic engagement. These findings confirm that the MBG program not only improves biological outcomes such as physical fitness and growth but also positively influences psychological aspects, particularly learning motivation. Therefore, the Free Nutritious Meal Program can be considered an effective strategic intervention to support students’ health and educational quality in a holistic and sustainable manner

Importantly, the instrument has the potential to improve measurement accuracy, reduce referee subjectivity, and support standardized ball inspection procedures in soft tennis competitions
Analysis of Activity Daily Living in Elderly with Joint Pain: Rheumatic Exercise and Functional Independence
The increasing prevalence of joint pain among the elderly often leads to decreased functional independence and limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Rheumatic exercise is considered a low-impact physical activity that may help maintain joint mobility and functional capacity in the elderly. This study aimed to analyze Activities of Daily Living among elderly individuals with joint pain and to examine the effect of rheumatic exercise on functional independence at Panti Werdha Rindang Asih II Bongsari, Semarang. A quantitative quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed. The study involved 18 elderly participants selected through purposive sampling. The intervention was conducted over four weeks, with rheumatic exercise sessions held three times per week for approximately 30 minutes. Functional independence was measured using the Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed a significant improvement in ADL scores after the intervention, with the mean score increasing from 71.11 before the intervention to 79.72 after the intervention (p = 0.001). These findings indicate that rheumatic exercise significantly improves functional independence in elderly individuals with joint pain. Rheumatic exercise can therefore be recommended as a safe and effective non-pharmacological intervention to support mobility, independence, and quality of life among the elderly, particularly in institutional care settings.

Analysis of the Implementation of Usaha Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS-School Health Program) in Improving the Holistic Health of Elementary School Students in Siwalan District
School health programs play a crucial role in supporting students' holistic health development during elementary school age, which is a critical period for habit formation that will persist into adulthood. The implementation of Usaha Kesehatan Sekolah (UKS—School Health Program) in Siwalan District, a coastal region in Pekalongan Regency, Central Java, demonstrates considerable variation across schools due to differences in infrastructure, management commitment, and external support systems. This study aims to analyze the strategic role of UKS in enhancing students' holistic health through a comprehensive SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis approach. Using qualitative methodology, data were collected through observations, semi-structured interviews with 42 informants across 10 elementary schools, and documentation of school health programs and administration. Findings reveal that while some schools demonstrate strong school leadership commitment, PHBS (Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat—Healthy Living Behavior) culture, and active health center support, most schools face significant limitations in health facilities, qualified UKS spaces, teacher competence, and structured health administration. Opportunities for strengthening UKS exist through government health policies, health center partnerships, community involvement, and digital media utilization for health education, though these are challenged by environmental threats such as coastal flooding, inadequate food safety awareness, and budget constraints. The study contributes to school health science by demonstrating that effective UKS implementation requires integrated SO, WO, ST, and WT strategies combining human resource training, facility development, administrative strengthening, and multisectoral collaboration among schools, health centers, local government, and communities.

It can be concluded that the SIBAKAT ID application is feasible and effective for use as a data-based decision-making support tool in the process.
The Correlation of Work Patterns, Physical Activity, and Physiological Factors with Well-Being in Female Workers
This study investigates the complex relationship between work patterns, physical activity, and physiological indicators specifically resting heart rate and blood pressure with the psychological well-being of female office workers at Tritunggal Christian School Semarang. Given the high administrative demands often faced by female workers, this research utilized a quantitative approach with a total sampling method (N=78). Well-being was measured using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), and data were analyzed through Spearman's Rank correlation. The statistical results revealed that all null hypotheses were accepted (p > 0.05): Work Pattern (p=0.290; ρ=-0.150), Physical Activity (p=0.697; ρ=0.045), Resting Heart Rate (p=0.783; ρ=0.031), and Blood Pressure (p=0.661; ρ=0.045). These findings suggest that physiological and behavioral factors are not direct predictors of well-being in this specific community. The lack of significance is largely attributed to the "restriction of range" in physiological data and the dominant role of Christian spirituality and social support as a "super buffer" (Colossians 3:23 and 2 Timothy 1:7). This spiritual foundation effectively maintains well-being stability by framing work as a divine calling, regardless of job demands. Consequently, this research recommends prioritizing internal psychological and spiritual resources for future employee well-being interventions.

An Analysis of Physical Activity, Self-Confidence, and Gross Motor Skills of Students in the High and Low Lands of Central Java
This study aimed to analyze the relationships between physical activity and self-confidence with gross motor skills among elementary school students living in highland and lowland areas of Central Java, Indonesia. A descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. The participants were 80 students in Grades 4–6 (40 from highland schools and 40 from lowland schools). Physical activity was measured using the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C), self-confidence using a scale adapted from Lauster, and gross motor skills using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2). Data met the assumptions of normality, linearity, and homoscedasticity. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression analyses were conducted separately for highland and lowland groups. The results showed that physical activity correlated positively and significantly with gross motor skills in both highland (r = 0.488, p = 0.001) and lowland (r = 0.518, p = 0.001) groups. Self-confidence also demonstrated a positive and significant correlation with gross motor skills in both regions (r = 0.410 and r = 0.408, p = 0.009). Regression analyses indicated that physical activity and self-confidence together explained 32.9% of the variance in gross motor skills in the highland group and 36.3% in the lowland group, with physical activity emerging as the stronger predictor. These findings suggest that both behavioural and psychological factors jointly support children’s gross motor development, and that physical education programs should simultaneously promote active lifestyles and self-confidence, tailored to the specific characteristics of highland and lowland environments.
The Influence of Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) Based Learning and Students’ Motivation Levels on Physical Education Learning Outcomes at SMA Negeri 1 Sale Rembang
Physical Education learning at the senior high school level faces challenges related to student ability heterogeneity and varying motivation levels, which often result in learning disparities. This study aimed to analyze the effects of Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL)-based learning methods and students' motivation levels on PJOK learning outcomes. A 2×2 factorial experimental design was employed with 140 tenth-grade students from SMA Negeri 1 Sale Rembang divided into four treatment groups. The research implemented two TaRL approaches: TaRL A utilizing peer tutoring strategy and TaRL B utilizing parallel learning strategy. Students were categorized into high motivation (n=72) and low motivation (n=68) groups based on motivation questionnaire scores. Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed a significant main effect of TaRL method on learning outcomes (F=5.098, p=0.026, η²=0.036), with TaRL A demonstrating superior performance (M=78.18) compared to TaRL B (M=74.86). More significantly, students' motivation level demonstrated a very large main effect (F=30.021, p=0.000, η²=0.181), with high-motivation students achieving substantially higher scores (M=80.91) than low-motivation students (M=71.97). No significant interaction was found between method and motivation (F=0.246, p=0.621). These findings indicate that both factors independently contribute to PJOK learning outcomes, with motivation being approximately five times more influential than teaching method. Schools should prioritize implementing peer tutoring-based differentiation while simultaneously enhancing student motivation through autonomy, competence, and relatedness support

The Relationship Between Training Intensity, Rest Patterns, and Nutritional Intake with Physical Fatigue of Athletes at BPPLOP Central Java.
Physical fatigue is a major challenge for martial arts athletes, especially those in the Central Java BPPLOP (Center for Education and Training of Student Athletes). Factors such as training intensity, rest patterns, and nutritional intake significantly affect fatigue levels. This study aims to analyze the effects of training intensity, rest patterns, and nutritional intake on physical fatigue in martial arts athletes, including pencak silat, wrestling, wushu, boxing, fencing, taekwondo, karate, and judo, at BPPLOP Central Java. This quantitative research employed a survey method. The sample consisted of martial arts athletes at BPPLOP Central Java. Data were collected using questionnaires measuring training intensity, rest patterns, nutritional intake, and physical fatigue. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that rest patterns and nutritional intake significantly affect physical fatigue, while training intensity does not show a significant individual effect. However, all three variables jointly have a significant influence on athletes' physical fatigue. Effective management of physical fatigue in martial arts athletes requires a holistic approach, incorporating balanced training intensity, improved rest patterns, and adequate nutritional intake to maintain optimal performance and reduce injury risks. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HiuufJ6aY7Fv5EYZL9mjxUaI25u_CPHk?usp=drive_link
The Correlation of Self-Confidence, Concentration, and Goal Setting with Routine Training Scores among Archery Athletes at BPPLOP Central Java
In sports, there are several contributing factors including physical, technical, and psychological aspects. Among these, psychological factors particularly an athlete’s mental abilities play a significant role in performance. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-confidence, concentration, and goal setting on routine training scores. This research employed a test survey with a correlational approach and a cross-sectional design, meaning data was collected at one point in time. The sample consisted of 15 athletes, selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used to collect data included: (1) Self-Confidence Scale, (2) Grid Concentration Test (GCT), (3) Goal Setting Scale, and (4) Training Score records. The results showed a strong and positive correlation between self-confidence, concentration, and goal setting with routine training scores. Specifically, self-confidence had a significant correlation with training scores (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.004), concentration (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.000), and goal setting (Sig. 2-tailed = 0.025). Furthermore, the combined influence of self-confidence, concentration, and goal setting on training scores was also significant, with a Sig. F Change value of 0.000 and an R square (R²) of 0.852. This indicates that 85.2% of the variance in training scores can be explained jointly by these three variables. The study concludes that self-confidence, concentration, and goal setting are significantly and simultaneously associated with routine training scores. The development of psychological aspects such as self-confidence, the ability to focus, and structured training goals is a crucial part of athlete development, particularly for archers in the BPPLOP Archery Program of Central Java, in order to achieve optimal training outcomes.
Development of a Differentiated Learning Model Through the Sport Education Model Invasion Game at an Elementary School
This research is motivated by the low quality of differentiated learning implementation in Physical Education (PJOK) lessons at the elementary school level, especially in Wonokerto District. Many teachers still use conventional learning methods, with minimal student participation and limited teaching modules less suited to local needs and contexts. This research aims to develop a differentiated learning model with a Sport Education Model (SEM) approach through invasion games. This model is designed to create an interesting, contextual learning experience and can adapt to the characteristics and potential of students. The study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE approach, which includes the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The research subjects comprised 112 students and 4 Physical Education and Health (PJOK) teachers. The instruments included expert validation (materials, media, and pedagogy), teacher and student response questionnaires, and affective assessment. The research results show that the differentiated learning model based on the Sports Education Model is feasible and effective for implementing Physical Education (PJOK) instruction in elementary schools. This model can increase active student engagement, create a pleasant learning environment, and adapt to the characteristics and needs of students.
