Background and Study Aim. Basic forehand and backhand technical skills are the main requirements that must be mastered in playing tennis. Physical condition and intellectual intelligence were found to be the factors that affect the quality of tennis. On the other hand, limited learning time, and the number of teaching staff and facilities are classic challenges in the implementation of learning. This study describes the different effects of massed and distributed exercise, arm strength, and intellectual on the forehand and backhand skills of sports students. Material and Methods. A quasi-experimental method with two group pretest and posttest design approached the 64 volunteers of male sports students (age 19.3±1.7, BMI 20.17±1.47), who had attended the tennis course. The sample is divided into 2 groups of Massed Practices (MP) and Distributed Practices (DP) according to the score of the upper-arm strength and intelligence test. The anthropometrics were evaluated through digital microtome stature, the arm strength was evaluated with a push-up test and the kinesthetic perception was confirmed with the intelligence quotient (IQ) test. The prerequisite test employed Kolmogorov-Smirnov, while Bivariate analysis utilized the Independent Sample T-test and Paired Sample T-test of the SPSS 20.0 version. Results. The study showed that MP and DP had different positive contribution values to the tennis drive (p=0.003, p<0.05), while distributed gave a better contribution to the tennis drive with a significant value (p=0.001, p<0.05). The high arm muscle strength provides high accuracy in groundstroke (p=0.003, p<0.05), also for the high score on the intelligence test significantly affect the accuracy of tennis strokes (p=0.000, p<0.05). Conclusions. The results showed that there are differences in exercise methods, arm muscle strength, and intelligence quotient against tennis drive punches.
Overweight is the result of a complex interaction between several factors, both non-modifiable and modifiable factors. Modifiable factors include food consumption, lifestyle, and physical activity. If childhood overweight problems continue and are left untreated, it will have a significantly worse impact and can threaten their lives in the future. The most effective and safe method to lose weight is by doing physical activity. This study examines the effectiveness of a play-based physical activity model to lose weight for overweight children aged 9-12 years. This study used an experimental method by involving 20 overweight children aged 9-12 years. Bodyweight measurements were carried out in the control group and the experimental group. The collected data were analyzed using a t-test with SPSS 19 software. The results indicated that: (1) there is a significant effect of play-based physical activity on children's weight loss; (2) the play-based physical activity model is effective for reducing children's weight. The play-based physical activity model needs to be developed and implemented in schools as weight loss strategies for overweight children. The results of this study can be used by sports teachers, instructors, parents, and stakeholders to jointly solve the children's overweight problem. Due to the benefits of physical activity for overweight children, other types of physical activity that can be practiced individually without reducing its enjoyment and satisfaction should be further studied and developed.
The purpose of this study was to determine the implementation and organization of mass cycling event Solo Last Friday Ride,a mass cycling participants' creativity Identifying Solo Last Friday Ride, explaining the benefits of mass cycling participants Solo Last Friday Ride and communities around the mass cycling events Solo Last Friday Ride. The research was conducted in the city of Solo, Central Java. Using qualitative research and is presented using a phenomenological approach. The result of this research is the mass cycling event Solo Last Friday Ride bike community-initiated motion to move the mass cycling community as a means to stay in touch between cyclists, sports facilities, recreation, and promote the bicycle as a means of transportation back healthy and environmentally friendly. Organizing place prior to the coordination of internal discuss the themes and routes that bypassed, Creativity indicated participants adjust costumes and accessories in accordance with the theme, The benefits of participants was as a means of exercise, recreation, socializing, and reduce air pollution, while the general public around the activity is increased revenue.
Purpose: This study aims to find out about the effect of ice massage and passive stretching on reducing delayed onset muscle soreness in the gastrocnemius muscles in view of gender Material and Method: The sample used in this study was 100, which consisted of UTP Surakarta students obtained by purposive random sampling technique. Statistical analysis was carried out on the initial results of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness after training and the final results of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness after being given ice massage and passive stretching treatment to male and female students. The results of statistical analysis were carried out using the SPSS version 25 program. Results: From the results of the study, it was shown that the decrease in DOMS by giving ice massage had a decrease that was different from the decrease in DOMS by giving passive stretching. This is evidenced by the Significance value of .036 <0.05 (p<0.05). Which means that giving ice massage has a decrease in DOMS which is different from giving passive stretching which can be accepted. From the results of the study, it was shown that the decrease in delayed onset muscle soreness by giving ice massage had a decrease that was different from the decrease in delayed onset muscle soreness by giving passive stretching. This is evidenced by the Significance value of 0.036 < 0.05 (p < 0.05). Which means that giving ice massage has a decrease in delayed onset muscle soreness which is different from giving passive stretching which can be accepted. The results of the study showed that the interaction between the ice massage method and passive stretching in terms of male and female gender was very significant. From the analysis of variance, the p-value = 0.00 < 0.05 was obtained. Which means there is an interaction between the ice massage and passive stretching methods with differences in male and female gender towards a decrease in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. Conclusions: The conclusion in this study is giving ice massage has a decrease in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness which is different from giving passive stretching which can be accepted.
