Problems: A national football philosophy or DNA was introduced to shape coaches to become players who not only have technical and tactical expertise, but also have their own style of play. Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the syllabus used to coach the District Training Centre (PLD) football team in Kuala Lumpur. The coaching process can be improved by having a source of knowledge and knowing what the syllabus of the sport is. Coaches need to build a wide knowledge space to adapt to environmental conditions. Methods: This qualitative study aims to identify what is the training syllabus used by the football coaches of District Training Centre of Kuala Lumpur. A total of seven trainers from the District Training Centre in Kuala Lumpur, who are also teachers, were involved as participants in the study and were interviewed to obtain data. The data from the interviews were analyzed using the 'thematic analysis' method. The number of participants for the study were determined by the level of "saturation of information", where the participants were interviewed until they were found to be unable to present new data compared to the previous participants. Results: Based on the research conducted, there are three approaches used, namely (i) tactical, (ii) knowledge of managing players and (iii) systematic training. By using the three approaches, coaches can diversify their teaching methods when coaching their football team, which can be used to build a good training program. Conclusion: these three syllabi or method can be used to build a good football training programme and help coaches to coach their District Training Centre (PLD) football teams.

Method: The method used is the experimental method with. The research sample was 21 high intellectual athletes with research instruments using the Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) test and a decision making test using The Decision Style Questionnaire (DSQ).

Problems: Mood significantly influences athletic performance, particularly in cricket, where monotonous and repetitive training can negatively affect athletes’ moods, reduce motivation, and ultimately impair on-field performance. Negative moods are not only detrimental to individual athletes but can also spread among teammates, amplifying their impact. Purpose: This study aimed to examine differences in mood levels between male and female cricket athletes during training, focusing on how gender may influence emotional responses in this context. Methods: This research utilized the Brunel Mood States (BRUMS) questionnaire, which was administered to the sample participants just once. Data analysis for the study was conducted using a t-test in SPSS version 25. Results: The results indicated significant differences in mood levels between male and female cricket athletes. Specifically, there were considerable disparities in negative mood states, such as tension, depression, anger, fatigue, and confusion, between the two groups during the training phase. Despite these differences, both male and female athletes exhibited an "iceberg personality" pattern, with vigor being the dominant mood indicator. Conclusion: The study concludes that the mood levels of male and female cricket athletes vary during training, highlighting the importance of a holistic approach that takes into account competitive pressures on male and female team to enhance performance through better management of mood states.

Problems: Student taekwondo athletes often face challenges balancing academic and sporting roles. The pressure of these two aspects can lead to physical and mental exhaustion or burnout. Burnout that is not properly addressed can impact athletes' performance, motivation, and commitment to sport. Purpose: This study examined the relationship between burnout and athletic identity in taekwondo student-athletes.

The instruments used in the study were Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and an Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) which were given once to the sample. After the data was obtained, data analysis was carried out using the SPSS Version 27. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between athletic identity and burnout among university student-athletes in taekwondo, confirming that athlete identity affects mental and emotional exhaustion. This suggests that athletes who better recognize their role tend to be better able to manage pressure and maintain performance. Conclusion: This study concludes that taekwondo student-athletes have a story of struggle that is not easy behind their success. The relationship between athletic identity and burnout proves the story of struggle.

The role of upper limb strength and power in predicting overhead serve performance among u-15 female volleyball athletes

2025-07-01T01:46:29+00:00

Problems: The low results of the upper serve in volleyball are still a technical problem that is often encountered, especially in the adolescent age group. The ability to serve up is very dependent on the strength and power of the arm muscles which function to produce a strong and directional push. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of arm muscle strength and arm muscle power to the results of the upper serve on female athletes of the Semarang City Atlas Volleyball Club U-15. Methods: This study uses correlational research. The sample consisted of 15 female athletes aged 15 years who were taken using total sampling technique. The data collection technique uses a 60-second push-up test to measure arm muscle strength, 3 kg medicine ball throw (three attempts, the best results are taken) to measure arm muscle power, and the AAHPER volleyball top serve test (10 attempts) to measure the results of the top serve. Data analysis used descriptive statistics, normality test, correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a very strong contribution between arm muscle strength, and arm muscle power to the results of the Atlas club female athletes obtained from r square of 0.965 (96.5%). However, when viewed based on the t test (partial) only arm muscle strength contributes 76.88% and is significant to the results of the upper serve with a significance value (Sig.) of 0.025 (p <0.05). Meanwhile, arm muscle power contributed 19.61%, although it was not statistically significant at 0.221 (p> 0.05) to the results of the upper serve
