Prevalence and Correlates of Self-Handicapping Tendencies among Physical Education Preservice Teachers
type: item
description: The study examined the prevalence and correlates of self-handicapping tendencies among physical education preservice teachers from one university. The participants were a purposive sample of physical education preservice teachers (67% male and 33% female) from one university in midwestern United States. An adapted version of the short version of the Self-Handicapping Scale (SHS) served as the data source. The SHS score served as the response variable. The predictor variables were gender, the number of credit hours attempted, the number of credit hours passed, the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA), and GPA in the physical education content area. Results showed that 11.11% of the participants reported high levels of self-handicapping tendencies. The SHS had significantly low negative correlations with two predictors: the number of credit hours attempted and the number of credit hours passed. Conversely, SHS showed moderate significant positive correlations with cumulative GPA and the GPA in the physical education content area. The SHS scores for males and females were similar.Teacher education programs can help future teachers adopt coping strategies, thereby reducing their tendency to engage in self-handicapping strategies

title: Relationship Between Leg Muscle Power, Arm Muscle Power, and Anthropometry with The Speed of The Ball Resulting from an Open Spike in Athletes of The Sumedang Integrated Indonesian Generation School Volleyball Team
description: This study aims to analyze the relationship between leg muscle power, arm muscle power, and anthropometry with the speed of the ball resulting from an open spike in athletes from the Sumedang Integrated Indonesian Volleyball Generation School. The study used a quantitative approach with a correlational method. The sample consisted of 21 athletes, with leg muscle power measured using the Vertical Jump Test, arm muscle power measured using an 8-second push-up test, and anthropometric data obtained through Karada Scan. The speed of the open spike ball was measured using a Speed Radar Gun. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, Pearson or Spearman correlations, and multiple regression with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that arm muscle power, height, weight, and body muscle mass were significantly related to ball speed, while several other variables such as leg power (Spearman), leg muscle mass, and BMI showed no significant relationship. Multiple regression analysis shows that the three independent variables simultaneously contribute 45.4% to ball speed. This finding confirms that spike performance is the result of an interaction between muscle strength and anthropometric characteristics. This study recommends a training program that focuses on strengthening the arm muscles, developing core strength, and managing body composition to improve spike speed in volleyball athletes.

Analysis of Physical Activity, Motor Skills, and Social Skills in Children with Disabilities with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze physical activity, gross motor skills, and social skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and to examine the relationship between these three variables. This study used a descriptive quantitative method involving nine children with ASD at SLB-D YPAC Bandung. Physical activity was measured using ActiGraph GT3X for seven days, motor skills were assessed through long jump, ball throw, 10-meter run, and balance tests, while social skills were measured using the Social Skills Questionnaire (SSQ). Data were analyzed descriptively and using Spearman's correlation to examine the relationship between variables. The results showed that the level of physical activity among children with ASD tended to be low, gross motor skills varied between individuals, and social skills were in the moderate category. Correlation analysis showed no strong relationship between physical activity, motor skills, and social skills, reflecting the diversity of developmental characteristics in children with ASD. However, these three aspects remain important to improve through structured interventions tailored to individual needs. These findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach in supporting the physical, motor, and social development of children with ASD.

The Relationship Between Nutritional Knowledge, Physical Activity, and Exercise Intensity with Body Composition in Yasfi Bekasi High School
type: item
description: The increase in cases of overweight and obesity among adolescents is a serious challenge for public health in Indonesia. Low physical activity, high-calorie diets, and lack of nutritional knowledge are the main factors that affect the body composition and nutritional status of adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity on the body composition of students at Yasfi Bekasi High School. The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design on 114 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected through a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and an exercise intensity instrument, while body composition was measured using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. Data analysis was performed descriptively and bivariately using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good nutritional knowledge (85.1%) and high physical activity (64.9%). A significant relationship was found between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity with nutritional status (p < 0.05). Students with good nutritional knowledge and high physical activity tended to have a normal Body Mass Index (BMI), while respondents with low activity showed a tendency toward overweight. In conclusion, good nutritional knowledge, regular physical activity, and sufficient exercise intensity are an important combination in maintaining ideal body composition in adolescents. These findings emphasize the need for integrated nutrition education and physical activity promotion programs in schools to foster healthy lifestyles from an early age.

The Relationship Between Self-Talk and Emotion Regulation in Volleyball Athletes in Kabupaten Bandung Barat
type: item
description: To achieve optimal performance in training and competition, internal dialogue and emotional regulation are two important aspects that need to be considered. Research on the relationship between self-talk and emotional regulation shows that self-talk plays a role in improving emotional control, reducing anxiety, and helping athletes maintain focus when facing competitive pressure. Specifically in volleyball, athletes often find it difficult to regulate their emotions and self-talk, which prevents them from performing at their best. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-talk and emotional regulation in volleyball athletes in West Bandung Regency. A quantitative descriptive method with a correlational design was used in this study. Twenty-four volleyball athletes from West Bandung Regency participated in this study as samples. A questionnaire to measure self-talk and emotional regulation was given to the samples once. After that, the data were processed and analyzed using SPSS Version 25. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between self-talk and emotional regulation among volleyball athletes. This study concluded that self-talk plays an important role in regulating the emotions of volleyball athletes in West Bandung Regency to achieve their desired goals, namely performance.

The Relationship Between Knowledge Level about Physical Activity and Depression Among Pre-Elderly Individuals
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge about physical activity and depression in the pre-elderly group in the working area of the Ledeng Community Health Center (Regional Technical Implementation Unit), Bandung City. The method used is a descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional approach, where data is collected over a period of time. The study sample consisted of 50 pre-elderly people aged 45–59 years selected using accidental sampling techniques. The instruments used included a questionnaire on the level of knowledge of physical activity and the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge of physical activity (56%) and experienced minimal depression (82%). Statistical tests showed a relationship between knowledge of physical activity and levels of depression in the pre-elderly (p = 0.000). These results indicate that the better the pre-elderly people's understanding of physical activity, the less prone they are to developing depression. Thus, efforts to improve health education regarding the importance of physical activity need to be strengthened as a strategy to prevent depression and improve well-being in the pre-elderly group.

The Effect of Maltodextrin Supplementation on Anaerobic Power of Rowing Athletes
type: item
description: Maltodextrin, a high-glycemic carbohydrate, is believed to maintain energy and delay muscle fatigue in rowing, a sport that relies on both aerobic and anaerobic energy sys-tems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of maltodextrin supplementation in maintaining energy and anaerobic performance in rowing athletes. The research with a randomized pretest–posttest control group design involved eight rowing athletes from West Bandung Regency, divided into an experimental group (receiving 0.25 g/kg maltodextrin) and a control group (water). The main instrument used is the Concept-2 rowing ergometer which is equipped with a digital monitor to record power output, stroke rate, and mileage for each sprint. Data were analyzed descriptively to see the mean and difference between groups, followed by the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Levene homogeneity test. The results showed that maltodextrin supplementation did not have a statistically significant effect on the increase in anaerobic power of rowing athletes, but physiologically had a positive ef-fect on performance. The group that received maltodextrin had a lower fatigue index (13.5%) than the control group (17.6%), indicating a better ability to maintain strength during repeated sprints. Conclusion This study showed that maltodextrin supplemen-tation at a dose of 0.25 g/kg body weight given two hours before activity had a practi-cal positive effect on the anaerobic power of rowing athletes in West Bandung Re-gency.

Identification of Barriers in Performing Physical Activities in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
type: item
description: This study aims to identify and compare physical activity barriers in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and children with non-ASD disabilities based on parental perceptions. Using a comparative quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach, the research involved 56 respondents, consisting of 29 children with ASD and 27 children with non-ASD disabilities aged 6–17 years, with a gender distribution of 33 males and 23 females. The instrument used was the Barriers to Being Active Quiz (CDC, 1999), and data analysis was conducted using the Independent Sample T-Test with α = 0.05. Results showed significant differences in four categories of barriers: social influence (p = .000), lack of energy (p = .003), lack of willpower (p = .000), and lack of injury (p = .000). Children with ASD were more hindered by internal factors such as low motivation and self-regulation difficulties. Conversely, children with non-ASD disabilities were more affected by physical and environmental barriers, including fear of injury, fatigue, and lack of social support. No significant differences were found in three other categories: lack of time, lack of skill, and lack of resources. These findings emphasize the need for physical activity interventions tailored to the characteristics of each group of children with special needs.

The Effect of PETTLEP-Based Visualization Training on the Self-Confidence Level of Pencak Silat Athletes
type: item
description: PETTLEP visualization is a mental training method that uses visualization techniques with a focus on seven main components: Physic, Environment, Task, Timing, Learning, Emotion, and Perspective. This practice aims to create a mental image that closely resembles the real situation during an activity or competition, helping to improve an athlete's performance and psychological aspects such as confidence and stress management. This study aims to determine the effect of PETTLEP-based visualization training on increasing the self-confidence of pencak silat athletes. Self-confidence is an important psychological aspect that influences an athlete's ability to manage stress, make the right decisions, and display optimal performance during competitions. The research method used a one-group pretest-posttest design with a sample of 13 athletes. The instrument used was a self-confidence questionnaire completed before and after the PETTLEP visualization intervention. The results of the descriptive analysis showed an increase in the average score from 32.15 in the pretest to 35.54 in the posttest. The normality test showed that the data were normally distributed, while the paired t-test showed a significance value of 0.000, confirming a difference in scores before and after the treatment. These findings prove that PETTLEP visualization training is effective in increasing the self-confidence of pencak silat athletes by helping them build stronger mental readiness, focus, and self-confidence. Therefore, PETTLEP visualization training is recommended for implementation in pencak silat athlete development programs.

Body Composition and Physical Fitness Profile of PERSIPASI (Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Patriot Bekasi) U-17 Soccer Players in Bekasi City
type: item
description: This study aimed to describe the body composition and physical fitness profile of PERSIPASI U-17 soccer players in Bekasi City. A descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was used. Participants were 11 male U-17 players who were actively involved in regular training. Body composition was assessed using a Karada Scan. Physical fitness was evaluated through field tests, including push-up, sit-up, agility run, sit-and-reach, standing broad jump, endurance run, and leg strength test. Results showed that players generally had BMI values within the normal to slightly above-normal range, with inter-individual variation in body fat and skeletal muscle mass. Most players demonstrated good to excellent upper-body and abdominal strength, high flexibility, and adequate aerobic endurance. However, agility, leg power, and leg strength were predominantly in the moderate to poor categories. These findings suggest that the current training program sufficiently develops endurance and general strength but needs to be refined to more specifically target agility and explosive lower-limb performance. In conclusion, the physical profile of PERSIPASI U-17 players is characterized by favorable body composition and several strong fitness components, yet there remains substantial room for improvement in agility, leg power, and leg strength through more focused and integrated training interventions.

The Influence of Personality and Social Support on Adolescent Sports Motivation
type: item
description: This study's aim was to investigate the factors social support and personality contribute to the motivation of adolescent sportsmen. The research method used is quantitative, with descriptive correlative type. Subject of the study is 121 students of Junior high school 1 Lengkong, Sukabumi Regency. The measurements were composed of the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen (DTDD) for personality, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) for social support, and the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3) for exercise motivation. Data were analyzed using the Spearman and multiple linear regression analysis. It was found that social support and personality significantly contribute to the exercise motivation (t = 7.667; p = 0.000 and, t = 2.512; p = 0.013 respectively) and concurrently both play meaningful roles on the exercise motivation (F = 31.454; p = 0.000). The value of R² is 0.348; that is,34.8% of variation between adolescents' sports motivation was explained by the personality and social support variables, while the other remaining 65.2% could be attributed to other factors. Thus it can also be suggested that in enhancing sports motivation during adolescence, social support is more important than personality.

The Effect of Power Medicine Ball Training on Long Throw-In Ability in Football Athletes
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effect of power training using a medicine ball on improving long throw-in ability in football athletes. The research method used was an experiment with a one-group pretest–posttest design, involving 12 active male football athletes in the UPI Football Student Activity Unit aged 18–20 years who play the positions of fullback and winger. The training program was carried out for 16 sessions using the set system method, including the Overhead Medicine Ball Throw, Chest Pass to Wall, Rotational Throw, and Medicine Ball Slams movements with a load of 4–5 kg and explosive intensity. The instrument used was the Throw-in Distance Measurement Test to measure the throwing distance. The Pretest score had an average (mean) of 17.11 with a standard deviation of 2.85, while the Posttest score had an average of 19.01 with a standard deviation of 3.10. The results showed a significant increase in long throw-in ability after being given training using a medicine ball. This increase occurred because the training was able to develop functional arm, shoulder, and core muscle strength through explosive movements that resemble real throwing techniques. It can be concluded that power training using a medicine ball is an effective and applicable method to improve long throw-in ability in football athletes.

Risk Level of Exercise Posture on Musculoskeletal Disorder in Petanque Athletes
type: item
description: This study aims to analyse the risk level of exercise posture on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) at the Faculty of Sports and Health Science , Makassar State University (UNM). Petanque requires athletes to perform repetitive movements and maintain certain body positions, especially when throwing, which can potentially cause musculoskeletal disorders. This study employs a descriptive observational design with a cross-sectional approach. Data were obtained through direct observation of athletes' working posture during activities and analysed using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method to assess the level of posture risk for musculoskeletal complaints. The results of the analysis showed that most athletes were in the low to moderate risk category, especially in the back, upper arm and wrist, caused by non-ergonomic body positions when throwing. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the posture of petanque athletes contributes to an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders, thus requiring attention to the application of ergonomic principles and improvement of posture techniques in training to reduce the potential for musculoskeletal injuries.

The Effect of Battle Rope Training on the Long Throw Ability of Football Athlete
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effect of battle ropes training on the long throw-in ability of football athletes. The study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 12 male football athletes from Jasukars FC. The training program was carried out for 16 meetings over four weeks with variations of Power Slams, Double Waves, Jumping Slams, Plank Battle Ropes, and Squat to Waves exercises. Data were collected using the Throw-in Distance Measurement instrument and analyzed through the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Paired Sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in long throw-in ability after being given battle ropes training. This increase was caused by the development of upper body strength, explosive power, and core muscle stability produced through dynamic and isometric contractions during the exercise. These findings reinforce that battle ropes training is able to provide specific motor transfer to throw-in mechanics, thereby increasing throwing efficiency and distance. Thus, battle ropes training is recommended as an effective alternative in developing functional strength and throw-in ability for football athletes.

The Effectiveness of Tactical Game Approach Through Handball Games on Decision Making and Manipulative Movement Skills of Elementary School Students
type: item
description: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the application of the Tactical Game Approach (TGA) through handball games on improving decision-making abilities and manipulative motor skills of elementary school students. The background of this study is because PE learning in elementary schools is still dominated by conventional approaches, making students less active and less involved in the game. This study used an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design and involved 30 elementary school students selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using the Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI) to measure decision-making abilities and the Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) to measure manipulative motor skills during the pretest and posttest. The data obtained were analyzed using the non-parametric Shapiro-Wilk test to test normality and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to test differences in pretest and posttest results. The results showed an increase in the average score in both aspects studied. Based on the Wilcoxon test results, a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) was obtained, which means there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The application of the Tactical Game Approach through handball games is effective in improving decision-making abilities and manipulative motor skills of elementary school students. Further research is recommended to use an experimental design involving a control group or compare the effectiveness of TGA with other learning models.

Correlation of Quadriceps Angular Biomechanics to Anxiety in Amateur Women Football Athletes : Injury Risk Analysis
type: item
description: Injury prevention in female football athletes requires a multidimensional approach that integrates both biomechanical and psychological assessments. This research aims to examine the relationship between the quadriceps angle (Q-angle) and competitive anxiety in amateur female football players, with a focus on understanding the impact of Q-angle as an injury risk factor on anxiety levels. The importance of this study stems from the global rise of female participation in football, which is accompanied by a high incidence of lower extremity injuries, particularly among adolescents—a group that is physically and emotionally vulnerable. A total of eleven female athletes aged 14–21 years participated in the study. Q-angle measurements were conducted using image-based digital goniometry (KINOVEA®), whereas the Sport Anxiety Scale-2 (SAS-2) was utilized to assess levels of anxiety both before and after match participation. The findings revealed a non-significant decrease in anxiety scores following match play (from 35.23 ± 7.21 to 32.28 ± 8.49; p = 0.076), which may suggest a reduction in anticipatory stress after real-game involvement. Q-angle values varied widely from 9.5° to 29°, with several athletes exhibiting angles outside the normative female range of 15°–20°, indicating a possible increased risk for lower-extremity injuries. Even though a meaningful association was not established between the Q-angle measurements and anxiety levels, the occurrence of extreme readings in both areas among specific individuals suggests a potentially compounded injury risk that should be further investigatedIn spite of constraints such as a limited number of participants and the use of a cross-sectional study design, this research underscores the practical utility of low-cost, field-friendly tools for early detection of biomechanical and psychological injury risk factors. The results support the integration of dual-domain screening into injury prevention programs for adolescent female …

The Relationship Between Students' Perceptions of Physical Education Subjects and Their Motivation to Study Physical Education at Kartika XIX-2 Junior High School in Bandung
type: item
description: This study looks at how students view Physical Education, Sports, and Health classes and how that ties into their drive to learn at Junior High School Kartika XIX-2 in Bandung. The whole thing started because students often see these classes in a low light and lack real motivation for them. People still treat PE like its just an extra thing, not the main focus. Researchers went with a quantitative method and a correlational setup to dig into this. The group they studied included every student at that school. For the sample, they picked 105 students through simple random sampling. They gathered data using a questionnaire with closed questions on a 4-point Likert scale. To analyze it, they ran the Spearman's Rho correlation test since the data did not follow a normal distribution. The findings pointed to a very strong positive link between how students perceive PE and their motivation to learn, with an r value of 0.889 and p less than 0.05. That means the better students feel about PE, the more motivated they get to engage. These results really highlight why teachers need to step up and create positive views through fun, hands-on strategies that make sense and fit the Independent Curriculum principles.
