Improving Mental Health in Adolescents in Special Child Care Institutions Through Recreational Sports Intervention

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

This study examines the effectiveness of recreational sports interventions in addressing mental health issues among adolescents serving sentences in Juvenile Correctional Facilities (LPKA). Adolescents in prison tend to experience significant emotional stress, which can potentially worsen their mental health conditions. Sports are considered a practical and effective intervention method as they can trigger the release of serotonin and endorphins, hormones that play a role in improving mood. The research sample consisted of 20 male juvenile inmates at LPKA Bandung, aged 15-19 years, who participated in an eight-week recreational sports program. Measurements were conducted using the DASS-42 questionnaire to evaluate levels of anxiety, stress, and depression. The analysis results showed that the sports intervention significantly reduced anxiety (p-value = 0.000) but did not have a significant effect on stress and depression (p-value > 0.05). These findings suggest that recreational sports can be an effective intervention for reducing anxiety among adolescents in correctional settings; however, additional approaches are needed to address stress and depression. This study makes an important contribution to the development of sports-based rehabilitation programs in correctional facilities.

Fadia Tasyafa, Dianti Endang Kusumawardani — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

Self-efficacy and goal setting were psychological factors that influenced athletes in improving sports performance. This study aimed to determine the relationship between self-efficacy and goal setting in student Sepak Takraw athletes in Indonesia. The instruments used were the Athlete Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) (Koçak, 2020) and the Self-Audit Questionnaire for Goal Setting (Wilson & Dobson, 2008). Data collection was carried out using the convenience sampling technique. The study involved 156 Sepak Takraw athletes aged 12-18 years. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to describe the levels of self-efficacy and goal setting among Sepak Takraw athletes, while Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the two variables. The results indicated that 66.03% of athletes had a moderate level of self-efficacy, while goal setting was also categorized as moderate, with a percentage of 75.64%. The relationship between self-efficacy and goal setting showed r = 0.638 (p < 0.001), indicating a significant relationship with a strong correlation between these two variables in student Sepak Takraw athletes in Indonesia. The findings of this study can be applied in training programs by optimizing self-efficacy and goal setting, such as implementing the SMART method (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) as a strategy to enhance athlete performance.

Salma Putri Bakti, Komarudin Komarudin, Mochamad Yamin Saputra, Geraldi Novian — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

In rowing, athletes face high pressure due to intensive training, intense competition, and expectations from coaches and the environment. Achievement motivation is a significant factor in achieving optimal performance, but excessive pressure can increase the risk of burnout. In the field, many athletes experience physical and emotional exhaustion due to the drive to achieve without good stress management. This study aims to understand the role of achievement motivation, which is generally considered positive but also has the potential to trigger burnout. The method used is quantitative descriptive with an ex-post facto approach, involving active rowing athletes in Bandung City. The research instrument was a closed questionnaire with a scale of achievement motivation and burnout. The results of the study showed a significant relationship between the two. The higher the motivation to celebrate, the lower the risk of burnout, while low motivation increases the risk. In conclusion, a balanced approach is needed in building athlete motivation, by considering psychological factors and training load management. Coaches and support teams are advised to implement burnout prevention strategies, such as optimal recovery programs, psychological assistance, and creating a training environment that supports the mental well-being of athletes.

Kabaddi is a sport that uses good physical abilities; so far, the dominant physical components that affect achievement in Kabaddi sports are very few in a comprehensive discussion. This study aimed to determine the dominant physical factors that influence the accomplishment of kabaddi sports. The research method used is descriptive-quantitative; the research sample is Badung district Kabaddi athletes, totalling 31 athletes. Data collection techniques are carried out in the form of tests and measurements, with several test items carried out, such as hearing reaction speed, seeing reaction speed, anticipatory reaction speed, agility, flexibility, leg muscle power, back muscle strength, leg muscle strength, hand squeeze strength (right), hand squeeze strength (left), shoulder muscle strength (pull), shoulder muscle strength (push), abdominal muscle strength, arm muscle strength, balance, cardiovascular endurance, and achievement. The results of the research show that of the several test items carried out, the most vital dominant factor was the strength of the back muscle was 89.0%, and the lowest namely agility was 33,9%. The conclusion is that the dominant factor I consists of age, body weight, agility, back muscle strength, right-hand squeeze strength, left-hand squeeze strength, and shoulder muscle strength (pull); the dominant factor II consists of height, leg muscle strength, shoulder muscle strength (push), abdominal muscle strength, and arm muscle strength.

Analysis of Agility Performance and Lower Limb Explosive Power Based on Foot Arch Variations in Regional-Level Football Players

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The arch of the foot is a biomechanical structural element that can affect the physical performance of athletes in sports that require dynamic movements such as soccer. The arch of the foot, both normal and flat, contributes to the efficiency of movement and load distribution when running, jumping, and changing direction suddenly. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the differences in agility performance and vertical leg muscle explosive power in regional-level soccer players based on variations in the shape of the arch of the foot, namely normal and flat. The method used is an observational study involving regional-level soccer players aged 19–22 years who have participated in regional-level competitions. Agility measurements were carried out using an 8×5 meter back and forth running test, while vertical jumping ability was assessed through a vertical jump test using the Vertec tool. The results of the study with the t-test showed that there was no significant difference between the normal and flat-footed groups in either the agility variable (p = 0.141) or the vertical jump (p = 0.121). The conclusion of this study shows that there is no significant difference between regional level soccer players with normal and flat foot arch types in terms of agility and vertical jumping ability.
