2026-03-03T05:21:09+00:00

Problem : The low footwork skills of students are inextricably linked to the training methods employed in the learning process. Footwork training in badminton lectures has generally been conducted conventionally, involving monotonous repetition of basic movements, lacking variety, and providing minimal movement stimuli that mimic real-life playing conditions. Purpose : This study aims to determine the effect of variation-based shadow badminton training on improving the footwork abilities of Sports Education students.. Methods : The study used an experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design. The study sample consisted of 90 students, divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 45) and the control group (n = 45). The experimental group was given treatment in the form of variation-based shadow badminton training, while the control group was given conventional training. The research instrument used a nationally and internationally validated badminton footwork ability test. Data analysis was performed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and independent sample t-tests with a significance level of 0.05. Resuluts : The results of the study showed that there was a significant increase in footwork ability in both groups (p < 0.05), but the increase in the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group (p = 0.000). Conclusion : These findings indicate that variation-based shadow badminton training significantly improves students' footwork skills. Therefore, variation-based shadow badminton training is recommended as an effective training method to improve the quality of badminton learning in higher education.

Social Classification in Sports: A Literature Review on Access, Identity, and Social Mobility

2026-03-03T06:14:07+00:00

Problems: Previous studies indicate that sports participation is strongly influenced by socioeconomic factors; however, comprehensive analyses that integrate access, identity formation, and social mobility within the context of social classification remain limited, particularly in sports sociology literature. This gap highlights the need for a systematic review that critically examines sports as both a space of inequality and opportunity, thereby offering novelty through an integrative and theory-driven perspective. Purpose: This study aims to analyze how social classification shapes access to sports participation, constructs social identity, and enables or constrains social mobility through sports. Methods: This research employed a qualitative approach using library research methods. Data were collected from national and international peer-reviewed journals indexed in reputable databases and published between 2018 and 2024. The selected literature was analyzed thematically using content analysis to identify patterns related to access inequality, identity construction, and social mobility in sports. Results: The findings show that socioeconomic background significantly determines access to sports facilities, professional coaching, and institutional support, with higher social classes enjoying greater advantages. Sports also function as symbols of social identity and class distinction, reflecting processes of social reproduction. At the same time, sports provide opportunities for upward social mobility, particularly for individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds through scholarships, sponsorships, and athletic achievement. However, these opportunities are limited by persistent structural barriers, including unequal resource distribution, gender bias, and selective policy implementation. Conclusion: This study concludes that sports both reflect and reproduce broader social stratification while simultaneously offering selective pathways for social mobility. The findings contribute theoretically to sports sociology and practically to sports education policy, emphasizing the need for more inclusive and equitable approaches. Future research is recommended to incorporate empirical field studies and comparative regional analyses to deepen understanding of social inequality in sports.

Research traceability identification talent in sports psychology: a bibliometric analysis with vosviewer

2026-04-30T07:46:24+00:00

Problems: Talent identification in sports is a multidimensional field of research that continues to evolve in line with advances in science, technology, and the needs of modern sports. Talent identification encompasses not only physical aspects and tactical skills but also psychological, social, cognitive, and environmental factors. Despite the increasing research, mapping global research trends, particularly on psychological skill-based talent identification in sports, remains a lack of a comprehensive structure. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the mapping of global research trends regarding psychological skills-based talent identification in sports, evaluate scientific collaboration networks, identify existing research gaps, and compile recommendations for future research. Methods: This study employed bibliometric analysis with the help of VOSviewer software. Data sources were obtained from Google Scholar for the 2015–2025 period through the Publish or Perish Reference Manager application. Mapping was conducted based on frequently appearing and interrelated keywords in the scientific literature, namely "Talent Identification by Psychological Skills in Sport," which resulted in 500 documents with a topical scope that reflects the diversity of themes in the field being studied. Results: The research results show that the peak number of publications occurred in 2016, indicating increased interest in this topic during that period. The most frequently published journal was Psychology of Sport and Exercise, published by Elsevier. Conclusion: This study provides a comprehensive overview of the development of talent identification research in sports from a psychological perspective and can be a starting point for further researchers in finding relevant sources and theoretical foundations, as well as identifying research opportunities that are still open in the future

The effects of tire-based resistance training on throwing technique performance in adolescent male pencak silat athletes: a pretest-posttest experimental study

2026-07-21T07:18:06+00:00

Background: Throwing techniques are among the most decisive offensive skills in competitive Pencak Silat because they require efficient coordination of force production and rapid movement execution. Previous studies have primarily investigated the effects of resistance training on kicking performance, while evidence regarding the application of tire-based resistance training to improve throwing technique performance remains limited. This study was conducted to address this gap by evaluating the association between tire-based resistance training and throwing technique performance in adolescent male Pencak Silat athletes. Purpose: This study aimed to examine changes in throwing technique performance, measured by execution time, following participation in a four-week tire-based resistance training program among adolescent male Pencak Silat athletes. Methods: A quantitative experimental study employing a one group pretest posttest design was conducted with 20 adolescent male athletes selected from Perguruan Pencak Silat Rundayan Merak Emas using saturated sampling procedures. Participants completed a four-week tire-based resistance training program performed three times per week in addition to their regular training activities. Throwing technique performance was assessed before and after the intervention using a standardized performance test, with execution time recorded in seconds using a digital stopwatch. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test, Levene's homogeneity test, paired samples t test, and Cohen's d effect size. Results: The mean execution time improved from 6.87 ± 0.49 seconds at pretest to 3.62 ± 0.61 seconds at posttest, representing an average reduction of approximately 3.25 seconds. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant difference between the two measurements (t (19) = 3.833, p = 0.001). The calculated Cohen's d of 0.86 indicated a large practical effect, suggesting that the observed improvement was not only statistically significant but also meaningful within the context of competitive throwing performance. Conclusion: Participation in the tire-based resistance training program was associated with improved throwing technique performance among adolescent male Pencak Silat athletes. Although the findings provide preliminary support for the application of tire-based resistance training as a practical conditioning strategy, they should be interpreted cautiously because the one group pretest posttest design does not permit definitive causal conclusions. Further controlled studies involving larger and more diverse athlete populations are recommended to confirm and extend these findings.
