The purpose of this study was to study the influence of foam rolling on lower limb flexibility in a cycling team. A total of twenty subjects (N=20) were involved in this study and selected through the purposive sampling method. The research design that is used in this study is one group pretest-posttest. Sample Paired T-Test was used as this study included a pre-test and post-test using one group of subjects. During the pre-test, all subjects performed sit and reach flexibility test for three trials. After an intervention trial of 4 weeks, one week consisting of 6 days of intervention, subjects performed the same flexibility test for the post-test. Paired sample T-test has been used to analyze and measure the differences in flexibility between the pre-test and post-test with foam rolling treatment among cycling team athletes. The alpha is set at 0.05. The result showed the mean score for the difference between the pre-test and post-test (M=2.35, SD=1.556). The study found that the differences between pretest and posttest for flexibility is t (19) = -6.751, p < 0.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected. This finding suggests that foam roller positively affects lower limb flexibility among cycling team athletes.

COVID-19 pandemic breeds new norms which include online learning, among other things. As this pandemic might have resulted in stress, the first objective of this study is to identify the harmful effects of Student UiTM Pahang while implementing of Online Distance Learning (ODL) during the pandemic whereas the second is to find the solutions taken among respondents in order to avoid harmful effects to themselves along ODL is applied. The research questionnaires were adapted and adopted from the previous study, were distributed online to 235 respondents via Google form. Stratified sampling was used as a technique for collecting data and analysis was done via Statistical Package for the Social Science software (SPSS) version 21. Cronbach's Alpha'score was 0.873, showing the internal consistency is good. The findings showed that ODL put heavy burdens on students, thus affected their health and routine life. Several actions were taken by them to reduce these harmful effects such as go for recreation, spiritual and time management, self-organization and so on. Therefore, the university should be aware of these consequences and take preventive action in handling this situation. Future research should be expanded to other public and private higher learning institutions to enable deeper probing into this situation, thus provide better insights for changes in the education systems.

Purpose: The performance of a good organization can be evaluated through the effectiveness of human resource management practices on employees. However, the problem of employee turnover always occurs because of weaknesses in an organization's human resource management practices, which affect the employee’s employability and organizational commitment. Therefore, this study examines human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment among sports graduates.   Design/methodology/approach: This survey study involved 370 Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) sports graduates who have worked in the government and private sectors. This research instrument contains 57 items to measure human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment. Data were analyzed using descriptive, inferential, and structural equation model (SEM) analysis using Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software.   Findings: The study results show a direct and indirect effect between the variables studied. The study results show that employability partially mediates the relationship between human resource management practices and organizational commitment   Practical implications:  This study fills a gap in research by establishing and examining the relationship between the antecedents of human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment. The results of this study can be used by Higher Education institutions to regularly review the curriculum and co-curriculum syllabus to ensure that the graduates’ success can align with the needs of the industry and employers.   Originality/value:  This paper contributes to future research on sports graduates by considering a new method. From this, it can provide an overview to researchers on the importance of human resource management practices, employability, and organizational commitment.
