The impact of physical activity on obesity prevention in children aged 13-15 years based on narrative literature review

Haeril — 2025-06-01

Obesity is an increasing public health problem, including in children aged 13-15 years. The increasing prevalence of obesity is influenced by lifestyle changes, fast food consumption, and low physical activity due to the use of gadgets or smartphones and sedentary lifestyles. Childhood obesity can continue into adulthood and increase the risk of degenerative diseases in later life. The purpose of this study is specifically to determine the impact of physical activity on preventing obesity in children, while specifically aiming to provide an overview of the factors that cause obesity in children. The method used in this study uses the NLR (Narrative Literature Review) approach. Literature searches were conducted through several databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. The number of articles used as secondary data was 10 scientific articles in both national and international reputable scientific journals with a time limit of publishing articles in the last 10 years to keep looking for novelty. Keyword limitations used in the search include physical activity, obesity prevention, children aged 13-15 years, and adolescents. Based on the results of the study, it was found that physical activity has an impact on preventing childhood obesity and there are several factors that can reduce physical activity in children, namely individuals, families, the environment, facilities and infrastructure, and the influence of technology. Increasing physical activity should be a priority in childhood obesity prevention strategies. The conclusion of this study is that efforts to prevent childhood obesity need to involve a multidimensional approach. Not only maintaining the child's diet but including physical activity in the school environment, family, and community. Physical activity plays an important role in preventing obesity in children aged 13-15 years.

Analysis of aerobic and anaerobic endurance in futsal extracurricular

Rajib Sanusi — 2025-06-01

Participants in the futsal extracurricular programme at SMPN 1 Babirik often experience fatigue during competitions, which indicates a weak physical condition, particularly with regard to endurance. This study aims to analyse participants' aerobic and anaerobic endurance in order to prepare a more effective and targeted exercise programme. The research method uses a quantitative approach with descriptive methods. The study population consisted of 20 futsal extracurricular participants, sampled using the total sampling technique. The Multistage Fitness Test (MFT) was used to measure aerobic endurance and the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) was used to measure anaerobic endurance. The results showed that the students' aerobic endurance was mostly in the very bad (75%), bad (20%) and sufficient (5%) categories, with an average score of 32.35. Anaerobic endurance, meanwhile, showed better results: 80% in the very good category and 20% in the good category, with an average maximum power of 223 watts, a minimum power of 124 watts and an average fatigue index of 2.55. This study indicates an imbalance between aerobic and anaerobic endurance. Therefore, a programme of exercises focused on improving aerobic endurance is needed. Further research using a wider sample size is recommended to make the results more representative.

Intan Pratiwi Hernovianus — 2025-06-02

Physical education, sports, and health teachers have an important role in shaping the character, physical fitness, and discipline of students at the elementary school level. Rewards can be in the form of financial or non-financial rewards given as a form of appreciation for teacher performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design that aims to test the effect of reward policies on the motivation and performance of physical education teachers in elementary schools in the city of Surabaya. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires directly to teachers at school or through an online platform to facilitate respondents who are in more remote locations. The results of the regression analysis showed that the reward policy had a positive and significant effect on motivation (coefficient = 0.42; p <0.05) and performance (coefficient = 0.38; p <0.05). In addition, motivation also has a positive and significant effect on performance (coefficient = 0.45; p <0.05). The coefficient of determination (r²) value of 0.61 indicates that 61% of performance variability can be explained by the reward and motivation policy variables. Conclusion, reward policy has a positive and significant effect on the motivation and performance of physical education teachers in elementary schools in Surabaya. Further research can expand the object and use different approaches to enrich the findings.

The effect of fartlek and shuttle run training on 60 meter sprint running speed

Ihsan Arsadi — 2025-06-03

Running speed is an important component of students' physical ability, particularly in athletics. Research into appropriate exercise methods to increase running speed, such as fartlek and shuttle runs, is important. This study aimed to determine the effect of fartlek and shuttle run training on the 60-metre sprint speed of students at SMP Negeri 02 Belitang, using an experimental approach with a two-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 15 SMP Negeri 02 Belitang students. A 60-metre sprint test was used to measure changes in performance before and after the exercise treatment. Paired t-test results showed that both fartlek and shuttle run exercises significantly increased running speed (p-value <0.05). The shuttle run group experienced an average time decrease of 0.8 seconds (t = 5.50, df = 6, p = 0.002), demonstrating greater performance improvement than the fartlek group. In conclusion, both fartlek and shuttle run training were effective in increasing the 60-metre sprint speed of junior high school students. The shuttle run had a greater effect on performance improvement than fartlek. For future studies, it would be advisable to include variables such as gender, age, and initial fitness level to enable a more comprehensive analysis.

The effect of mechanical feedback on the learning and retention of selected gymnastics skills Among female students

Neran Khaleel Abdulqader — 2025-06-07

Technological advances in sports have opened up new opportunities to enhance the efficiency of learning motor skills, including gymnastics. This study found that mechanical feedback improves movement accuracy, speeds up the learning process and reduces performance variability compared to traditional methods. The study examined the impact of real-time mechanical feedback on the acquisition and retention of preferred gymnastics skills among students at the College of Physical Education and Sports Science at the University of Baghdad. A quasi-experimental design was used, with 40 students divided into two groups: an experimental group of 20 students who received mechanical feedback and a control group of 20 students who were trained using traditional methods. Data were collected through pre- and post-workout tests, as well as a retention test, to evaluate skill mastery, execution precision, and endurance. The results showed that mechanical feedback significantly improved movement execution and skill retention compared to the control group. In conclusion, technology-based mechanical feedback has the potential to be an effective training tool in sports, supporting improved performance through better motor control. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of mechanical feedback and the integration of artificial intelligence technology in training systems, as well as its effect on psychological and cognitive factors such as motivation, focus and athlete confidence.
