Empirical Evidence of the Effectiveness of Digital Gamification-Based Small Games on the Attractiveness of Physical Education Learning
This systematic review aims to evaluate empirical evidence on the effectiveness of integrating small-sided games with digital gamification in enhancing the appeal of Physical Education-learning. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following PRISMA guidelines was applied to ten selected empirical articles from indexed databases spanning 2015-2025. The results of the analysis show a positive convergence between the two approaches. Digital gamification, through elements such as points, badges, leaderboards, and progress bars, successfully transforms small-sided game activities into a series of structured challenges. This transformation significantly boosts students' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, learning engagement, as well as the duration and intensity of physical activity. Furthermore, this integration creates a holistic synergy: beyond optimizing physical goals, it also strengthens socio-affective dimensions by utilizing small-sided games as a vehicle for developing cooperation, sportsmanship, and communication. The success of implementation heavily relies on careful pedagogical design, which balances competitive (performance-oriented) elements with mastery-oriented ones to ensure inclusivity and avoid excessive pressure. Practical implications emphasize the importance of teacher training and the use of gamification data for formative assessment. Further research with rigorous experimental designs, larger and more diverse samples, and long-term outcome measurements is needed to strengthen the findings and refine implementation guidelines.

The Effect of Leg Muscle Strength Training in Reducing Knee Pain Intensity among Elderly Women
Abstract. Aging naturally reduces physiology, increasing susceptibility to injuries, particularly in the knee joint, which supports substantial body weight and is vulnerable to osteoarthritis and ligament injuries. The current study investigates the effectiveness of leg muscle strength training in reducing knee pain intensity among elderly women aged 45 years and older residing in Gayamsari District, Semarang. A pre-experimental design employing a one-group pre-test post-test approach was implemented. Forty-two participants were selected using purposive sampling methods. The intervention involved leg muscle strengthening exercises conducted twice per week for six weeks, with each session lasting 40 minutes. Knee pain intensity was assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale both prior to and following the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test due to non-normally distributed data. Findings indicated a statistically significant reduction in knee pain intensity, with average pre-test pain scores recorded at 3.2 ± 2.2 and average post-test scores recorded at 0.9 ± 1.4 (p = 0.000). Of the participants, 40 demonstrated a reduction in pain levels, whereas 2 participants showed no improvement, potentially influenced by additional medical conditions including gout and hypertension. In conclusion, leg muscle strength training significantly contributed to reducing knee pain intensity in elderly women, thereby justifying inclusion in rehabilitation programs targeting knee pain associated with osteoarthritis and ligament injuries. Further research is recommended to investigate tailored training protocols that account for co-morbid conditions and their impact on pain management efficacy. Abstract in Indonesia.
