Monitoring The Effort Curve In Physical Education For Normal And Overweight Students Using Smartwatches And Mobile Applications

Thu, 03 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Study purpose. In physical education and sports lessons, correctly dosing effort is essential for optimising physical performance and adapting effort parameters, including breaks, in line with physiological principles. The study hypothesises that using smart-watches and mobile apps to monitor effort in middle school physical education lessons will reveal significant differences in effort and heart rate between overweight and average BMI students. Modern technology is expected to enhance understanding of students' physical exertion, facilitating adjustments to programs based on health status and fitness level.

Material and method. The study involved 45 students (average age 13.5 years) using 15 Xiaomi 8 smart-watches, phones, Wi-Fi, the Mi Fit app, and other devices to analyse body composition. Data on heart rate and BMI were collected during lessons, which followed the same theme and effort dosage. The Mi Fit app provided detailed aerobic and anaerobic exertion analyses. Parental consent was obtained, and data collection was done under routine lesson conditions. The technology aimed to improve performance and customise programs, offering a personalised approach to physical education. Real-time data transfer enabled accurate analysis of physical effort, promoting healthier lifestyles and better lesson adaptation by teachers.

Results. A significant interaction between heart rate and BMI steps (p < 0.01) shows different cardiovascular adaptations to exercise based on BMI. MANOVA confirmed the significant impact of these variables on heart rate, and post hoc comparisons showed differences between weight categories, except between overweight and extremely obese groups. These results highlight the need to tailor physical education programs to BMI categories to optimise cardiovascular health and performance.

Conclusion. Results suggest that monitoring the effort curve using modern technologies, such as smart-watches and mobile apps, provides valuable information for adjusting and optimising physical education lessons, especially for overweight and obese students.

Sumbara Hambali, Deni Muharam, Gugun Gunawan, Veny Juniarni Hardi — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Study purpose. Penalty corner is a situation that can be used as an opportunity to increase the score in indoor hockey. However, sometimes players cannot take advantage of this situation, so the opportunity to score a goal is lost. One of the reasons is that coaches pay very little attention to penalty corner training, so they don't have data about the abilities of their players. The aim of this research is to determine the success rate of penalty corners for STKIP Pasundan Cimahi indoor hockey players.

Materials and methods. The research method used is a quantitative descriptive research method with a survey approach. The research subjects involved were indoor hockey athletes who were members of the STKIP Pasundan indoor hockey team who competed in the National Championship at Jakarta State University in May 2023, totaling 11 men. For the research instrument, the penalty corner test was used, which researchers analyzed starting from feeder-stopper-shooter and also success in putting the ball into the goal. The analysis uses a percentage approach, to see how successful the athletes are in taking penalty corners, and also what category they fall into.

Results. The results of research conducted on evaluating the success rate of penalty corners for STKIP Pasundan indoor hockey players were good, based on consideration of the highest frequency in the above average category amounting to 6 people or 54.5%, high amounting to 2 people or 18.2% and in the average category 3 people or 27.3%.

Conclusions. Based on the research results obtained in data analysis, it can be concluded that the success rate of penalty corners for STKIP Pasundan room hockey players is included in the good category. It is hoped that the results of this research will open up insight for hockey coaches in evaluating their palyers' penalty corners.

Andi Baso Husain, A. Anwar Ishar, Rahmat S. Bintang — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Study purpose. Disabled sports in Sinjai Regency still face various challenges, despite the great potential possessed by athletes. This study aims to develop an inclusive disability sport coaching strategy in Sinjai District to increase the participation and achievement of athletes with disabilities.

Material and method. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, this research involved in-depth interviews with various stakeholders, such as the Kadispora, the Head of Koni, the National Paralympic Committee (NPC), and disabled sports activists.

Result. The results showed that the main obstacles faced include the lack of licensed coaches, the lack of disability-friendly facilities and infrastructure, and the non-optimal management of NPC Sinjai. Therefore, the proposed strategies include reactivation of NPC Sinjai, recruitment of licensed coaches, improvement of facilities and infrastructure, and close collaboration between the local government and related organisations. Hopefully, the implementation of this strategy will be able to support the achievements of Sinjai disabled athletes to the national and international levels.

Conclusion. With the synergy between the NPC, local government, coaches, and the community, Sinjai has a great opportunity to become a national example in creating an inclusive and supportive sports ecosystem. Consistent implementation of this strategy is expected to not only produce outstanding athletes, but also establish Sinjai Regency as a pioneer in fighting for equality and success in the field of disability sports in Indonesia.

Motion Analysis of Sreng Traditional Game: The Ideal Technique

Achmad Setiyo Wibowo, Fajar Awang Irawan — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Studi purpose. This study aims to determine the ideal technique in playing sreng game.

Materials and methods. This research uses a descriptive analysis method to present a complete explanation of the results of quantitative research. The data collection techniques used in this study include surveys, observations and documentation which are then analyzed to retrieve kinematic data such as time, angle and distance. The population in this study were students of the Faculty of Sports Science, Universitas Negeri Semarang who were members of KDOT as many as 20 people. The data analysis technique uses Kinovea Software version 0.9.5, which makes it easy to observe movements clearly and in detail.

Results. The results found that the average step distance obtained was 1.493 ± 0.172 meters, the limb angle was 54.36 ± 8.695 degrees, the right elbow flexion angle was 129.04 ± 12.055 degrees, and the torso flexion angle was 20.03 ± 6.225 degrees. The time required to perform the movement obtained an average of 0.733 ± 0.136 seconds with an average speed generated of 2.10 ± 0.458 m/s. The average height of the handle produced was 0.707 ± 0.080 meters and the height of the iron was 0.158 ± 0.066 meters.

Conclusions. This study found that based on the analysis of footsteps, there is a significant difference between the right and left steps, which is due to the adjustment of movements to balance the sreng. In addition, grip height and iron contact also play an important role in maintaining balance to be able to control the sreng iron well, iron contact must be low and close to the ground, so that balance in steps and controlling sreng can be maintained.
