Suhermon Suhermon — 2024-11-17

Problem: The problem in this study is that there is no new smash instrument in table tennis. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop smash instrument in table tennis. Methods: This research method is Research and Development (R&D). The population and sample in this study were 20 PTM Pasir Pengaraian table tennis athletes. The data collection methods in this study included questionnaires and measurement tests. Questionnaires were distributed to material and media experts to assess the feasibility of the table tennis smash test instrument. The tests were conducted to determine the validity and reliability of the smash test instrument. Reliability was assessed by correlating the results of the first smash test with those of the second, while validity was established by correlating the results of the first smash test with the criterion test. The criterion test involved field judges' evaluations using a smash assessment matrix. Data analysis was performed using the product-moment correlation formula. Results: The results of the study were obtained from material experts 82% and 85% (appropriate), media experts 88% and 86% (decent). Validity 0.89 and reliability 0.84, indicating valid and reliable based on the Kirkendall category. Conclusion: This study successfully developed a new smash test instrument for table tennis, which was deemed appropriate and feasible by experts. The instrument demonstrated high validity (0.89) and reliability (0.84), making it suitable for assessing smash performance.

Exploring the impact of aerobic exercise on sleep quality in older adults: A systematic review

Dally Rahman — 2024-11-17

Problem: Sleep disturbances are common and impact health, yet the most effective exercise modalities for improving sleep quality remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of aerobic and resistance training in enhancing sleep quality and related health outcomes. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of various exercise modalities, including aerobic and resistance training, in improving sleep quality and related health indices, and to determine the most helpful techniques for managing sleep disruptions in old. Methods: This study utilized a systematic literature review approach, gathering and analyzing scientific articles on the effects of exercise on athlete immune function. Articles were sourced from Scopus using search terms such as "aerobic exercise" OR "aerobic training" OR "cardiovascular exercise" OR "endurance exercise" AND "sleep quality" OR "sleep disturbance" OR "sleep improvement" OR "sleep duration" OR "sleep patterns" OR "insomnia" AND "elderly" OR "older adults" OR "aging population" OR "senior citizens" OR "aged" AND "effect" OR "impact" OR "outcome" OR "influence" with a focus on studies published within the past five years that evaluate exercise interventions on immune enhancement in athletes. After collecting relevant articles, descriptive analysis was conducted to identify consistent patterns and findings. Results: Aerobic exercise was consistently the most effective intervention for improving overall sleep quality, including sleep efficiency, duration, and deep sleep, along with cognitive function and inflammation markers. Resistance and combined training also demonstrated significant benefits, with resistance training enhancing sleep onset latency and duration. These findings highlight exercise as a versatile, non-pharmacological approach to improving sleep health in diverse populations.

A study of universal values of sports in high schools based on ethnicity

Burhan Ali — 2024-12-09

Problems: Sports in high school are not just physical exercise; they also teach values that will shape students' behavior and personalities in the future. Sports shape one's character and ethics significantly through teaching universal values such as discipline, sportsmanship, honesty, and teamwork. Due to its diverse ethnic population, Indonesia faces its own difficulties in incorporating the universal values of sports into its education system. Purpose: Therefore, it is important to conduct research on the universal values of sports at the high school level from an ethnic perspective to understand the socio-cultural dynamics that occur in Indonesia. Methods: The research instrument used was a questionnaire. The study involved 261 high school student respondents, consisting of 97 Lampung ethnicities and 164 non-Lampung ethnicities, aged between 14 and 18 years. The instrument was to measure the universal values of sport, which consisted of six assessed components. Results: Analysis of the Mann-Whitney u test showed that the sig (2-tailed) value of 0.325 was greater than 0.05, indicating that there was no significant difference in the distribution of universal sports values between the two ethnic groups Lampung and Non-Lampung. Conclusion: Following up on the findings of this study, diverse cultural perspectives are essential for educational programs and approaches objectives, methods, and research results.

Improving students' physical fitness through creative gymnastics training methods

Marsuna Marsuna — 2024-12-09

Problems: The problem that occurs is that many students are less interested in participating in sports activities, including creative gymnastics, because they are more accustomed to passive activities such as playing gadgets. Physical activity is often considered boring or tiring. Some schools may not have adequate sports facilities, such as large spaces, sports equipment, or access to trained trainers for creative gymnastics. This can limit the implementation of creative gymnastics optimally. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the increase in students' physical fitness through the creative gymnastics training method. Methods: The type of research is quantitative with an experimental type by providing a pretest, treatment, and posttest. The sample in this study were 30 students of SMK Negeri 5 Konawe Selatan who had a hobby in the field of gymnastics. The test instrument used was a physical fitness test aged 16 to 19 years consisting of 5 test items, namely a 60-meter running test, 60-second elbow bend hanging, 60-second sitting lying, vertical jump, and 1000-meter running. The training method used with creative gymnastics was carried out 3 times a week with moderate, heavy, and light intensity. Data analysis techniques with SPSS version 20 analysis, by searching for descriptive data analysis, normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test. Results: Based on table 5 data analysis obtained a value of 13.489> 0.000, it can be concluded that there is a significant influence on improving students' physical fitness through the creative gymnastics training method. Conclusion: Creative gymnastics, which involves creative and dynamic movements, can improve physical fitness components such as strength, agility, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. In addition, this method also encourages students to be more active, involved, and enjoy physical activity, because creative variations of movements can increase motivation and interest.
