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

The effect of english vocabulary mastery on sports students' ability to understand and practice training instructions

2025-07-10T09:12:42+00:00

Problems: Most previous English for Specific Purposes (ESP) studies have focused on general language skills rather than the direct impact of vocabulary mastery on students’ ability to comprehend and physically execute training instructions in real-time sports contexts. This study offers a novel contribution by empirically examining how English vocabulary knowledge enhances understanding and practical performance during sports training sessions. Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of English vocabulary mastery on the ability of sports students to understand and execute training instructions. Methods: A total of 20 students from a physical education program participated in this quantitative study using a paired sample experimental design. Two instruments were employed: a vocabulary test and a performance-based instruction comprehension test. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, a paired t-test, and simple linear regression. Results: The results showed that the average vocabulary score was 74.45 (SD = 11.71), while the average comprehension and execution score was 76.75 (SD = 11.52). The Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed that the data were normally distributed (p > 0.05). The paired t-test revealed a significant difference between vocabulary mastery and instruction performance, with t(19) = -14.04 and p < 0.001. The regression analysis further showed a strong and significant positive influence of vocabulary mastery on instruction performance (R² = 0.9025; p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that English vocabulary mastery is crucial in enabling students to comprehend and execute training instructions accurately. This study highlights the importance of integrating sport-specific English vocabulary training into physical education curricula to enhance students’ instructional comprehension and field performance.
