“…The intellectual ability is the ability in conducting cognitive activity in specific characteristic; (3) Cognitive strategy is the ability in distributing and directing its cognitive activity. This ability consists of concept and principle in problem solving; (4) Motoric ability in the ability in conducting a series of physical movement in coordination until the automatism of physical movement is created (Van Biesen et al, 2021).…”

Athlete’s knowledge level (IQ) is needed to increase smash technique learning skill in sepak takraw. Besides, physical conditions which consist of power, flexibility and coordination, are also determined athlete’s accomplishment in learning smash technique in sepak takraw. The study purpose. The aim of this research was to discover the direct influence between knowledge level (IQ) and physical conditions (power, flexibility and coordination) on smash technique learning skill in sepak takraw. Materials and Methods. The method used in this research was quantitative. Path analysis was conducted to analyze the result. As many as 50 athletes of sepak takraw from capital city of Jakarta were taken as population. Those athletes were also taken as sample by using total sampling. The sample was the athletes who joined the regional and national championship. Results. Based on the research it was obtained: 1) knowledge level (IQ) affects smash technique learning skill in sepak takraw directly as many as 0.982; 2) physical conditions (power, flexibility and coordination) affect smash technique learning skill in sepak takraw directly as many as 0.845; and 3) overall, knowledge level (IQ) and physical condition (power, flexibility and coordination) affect smash technique learning skill in sepak takraw directly as many as 0.703. Conclusion. Therefore, it could be concluded that knowledge level (IQ) and physical conditions (power, flexibility and coordination) affect smash technique learning skill in sepak takraw on the athletes of capital city of Jakarta.

“…Based on all of the above, this paper aimed to: (1) investigate the performance and pacing behaviour differences of people with and without ID during a maximal cycling time trial and (2) explore the influence of a competitive opponent on the cycling performance and pacing behaviour of people with and without ID. Due to the impact of ID on sports performance [6,30], we hypothesise that people without ID will perform better in all cycling trials compared to people with ID. Due to the cognitive nature of pacing [10,31] and the cognitive deficits of people with ID (e.g., decision-making) [7], we expect that people with and without ID will pace themselves differently when they cycle alone (without an opponent).…”

Exploring pacing behaviour in people with intellectual disabilities (ID) in competition will help to better understand the impact of cognition and social environment in sports, providing support for the shaping of proper inclusive sports environments. The present experimental study aimed to (1) compare the pacing behaviour and performance between people with and without ID who are inexperienced in cycling and (2) investigate how these are influenced by an opponent. Participants with (n = 8) and without ID (n = 10) performed two randomised 4-km maximal cycling trials, alone and against an opponent. Non-parametric tests for repeated measures data (p ≤ 0.05) revealed that people with ID cycled slower, but with higher inter-individual variation (both conditions) and paced themselves differently compared to people without ID when competing against an opponent. In contrast to the previous literature in athletes without ID, the presence of a faster opponent resulted in a decrease in the performance in the participants with ID. The negative influence of the opponent highlights the potential difficulties people with ID experience to adequately use their opponents to enhance their self-regulatory processes and optimize their pacing and performance in maximal exercise trials. Coaches who want to offer inclusive sports environments for people with ID could take these findings into consideration.

“…Apart from taking into account the demands of a sport, it is crucial to consider the specific characteristics related to their cognitive impairment when searching for valid and reliable assessment tools to assess EF in elite athletes with intellectual disability (Van Biesen et al, 2021). It has been demonstrated that the intellectual impairment of people with intellectual disability can interfere with proficiency in certain EF domains, including planning, inhibition, set-shifting, updating and WM (Ball et al, 2008; Lanfranchi et al, 2010; Menghini et al, 2010).…”

Our aim was to identify the suitability of three assessment tools (i.e., Flanker test, Updating Word Span, and Color Trails Test) for future inclusion in the classification process of elite Paralympic athletes with intellectual disability and to assess the strength of the relation between Executive function (EF) and intelligence. Cognitive and EF assessments were performed on 59 participants, divided into four groups according to their cognitive level (with versus without intellectual disability) and sport expertise (athlete versus novice). Inhibition and working memory update skills were implicated in people with intellectual disability. For set-shifting, a more nuanced picture was observed. Strong associations between EF and intelligence was found in people with intellectual disability. Working memory updating and set-shifting are relevant EF skills to assess in the context of elite sport; however, culture-free alternatives for the Updating Word Span test are needed, and alternatives to the Color Trails Test, less reliant on literacy skills are required.
