Background: The purpose of this study is to examine whether functional training has an impact on biomotor skills of 10–12-year-old girls. Material and methods: The study involved 20 girls (10 controls and 10 subjects) – who had been playing tennis for at least 2 years. A routine tennis training program was applied to the control group of tennis players participating in the study: 4 days a week, 90 minutes a day for 8 weeks. A 2+2 training program (2 days routine and 2 days functional training) was applied to the experimental group of tennis players for 8 weeks, 4 days a week, 90 minutes a day. At the end of the training program, biomotor tests were conducted. Results: There was not any significant differences when the pre-test and post-test values of the control group of tennis players who performed traditional tennis training were compared with their biomotor skills and Wingate anaerobic power (p> .05). When the pre-test and post-test values of the experimental group of tennis players with 8-week functional tennis training were compared with their biomotor skills and Wingate anaerobic power, a significant difference was found in all variables (p <0.01). Conclusions: The obtained data shows that the "functional training" programs implemented together with "routine tennis training" can positively improve the biomotor characteristics of 10–12 year-old girl tennis players.
The Friendship Activity Scale and the Adjective Checklist were initially developed in the USA for the purpose of measuring children’s attitudes towards intellectual disability (Siperstein, 1980). This research reports the development and validation of an Indonesian revision of these instruments, the Friendship Activity Observation Test (FAOT) and the Adjective Observational Checklistl (AOT) for use in its unified sports program (Special Olympics). Nine experts, with national and international level experience of 12-30 years, participated in this research. They comprised a psychometry expert, a sports psychology expert, a children with intellectual disability (ID) expert, a sport tests and measurements expert, and five unified sports trainers of children with ID. Content validity ratio (CVR) was used to assess the validity of the revised items. Following the formula proposed by Lawshe, the provision of a minimum value of CVR 0.78 was established as the criterion. Following the Delphi process, the average validity value of the items in each instrument was 0.945 for the FAOT and 0.941 for the AOT. The resulting drafts were then further tested and refined to check the content, construct, and rationale using the expert panel. The FAOT and AOT instruments when compared to the original versions were found to have increased utility in the Indonesian context as a result of increased balance in the number of indicators and items defining each factor, adjusting to the socio-cultural context of Indonesia, corresponding the instrument items and indicators to the context of unified sports for ID children, and the provision of implementation instructions, lattices instruments, as well as an observation-based rating rubric.
The purpose of this research is to develop online modules for educators in fifth-grade physical education classes. The participants of this study totaled 12 people who were divided at the validation and product trial stages. The design of this research is research & development. Research instruments are observation sheets, interview sheets, questionnaire sheets, and documentation sheets. Data analysis techniques are quantitative and descriptive. The results of the research and conclusions are (1) The online module is declared valid by media, materials, and language experts, and (2) the online module is declared suitable for use by educators and learners. The contribution to the next research is in the manufacture of online module teaching materials for educators in physical education (PJOK) class V subjects there are some obstacles or difficulties that may be an improvement for other researchers to develop online module teaching materials. for educators in PJOK class V subjects with other materials.

The background in this study is the shooting ability of petanque athletes whose achievements are inconsistent during the match/competition. This study aims to find out the effect of accuracy training on the results of shooting games of petanque athletes. Participants in the study were 20 athletes (ages 15-20 years; M = 17.7; SD: 2.4). This research design is one group pretest-posttest experimental design. The instruments used for the test of ability (shooting) are game numbers (shooting station) 1-5 with a distance of 6-9 meters. Data analysis uses a t-test with the help of IBM SPSS 24. Based on the calculation of pretest and posttest data on the shooting results of petanque athletes who have obtained an accuracy training program, it shows a value of p = 0.000 which means that p<0.05 so that H0 is rejected and H1 is accepted. Therefore it can be concluded that there is an influence between the accuracy training program on shooting results in petanque athletes aged 15-20 years. This study contributed to subsequent research to involve other factors that can improve the shooting ability of petanque athletes.
Since its appearance at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 in Wuhan (China), the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly worldwide. The outbreak was declared a pandemic in March 2020. Home confinement, travel restrictions, the closing of venues for exercise and recreation, and the cancellation of indoor and outdoor events including sport have been characteristic features of the public health responses around the world. The result has been a reduction in the levels of physical activity experienced by large numbers of the world population of all ages. This has caused considerable alarm for physical activity professionals around the world. In response, this position statement makes a case for the importance of continuing to embrace regular physical activity alongside the existing public health strategies that are being implemented in the management of the effects of the virus internationally. To be consistent with these policies this activity should always be away from others (application of social distancing) and preferably outdoors. Some potential benefits specific to the current situation, are suggested by reference to existing knowledge about the significance of exercise in the maintenance of a healthy immune system. However, these recommendations need to be viewed primarily within an unchanging context of the long-term value of healthy levels of physical activity for population well-being and quality of life. This has been made the more important on account of the potential harmful effects of the current reduced levels. Some recommendations for appropriate dosage and types of PA for those with different conditions are provided.
