Optimizing Basketball Team Performance through The Application of Sports Psychology Management and Mental Coaching

Encep Farlan Sutarza — 2025-09-30

Team performance in sports, especially basketball, is not only determined by physical ability and tactics, but also by psychological factors. The pressure of competition, team dynamics, and individual demands require a comprehensive approach that integrates aspects of sports psychology. This study aims to investigate the impact of applying sports psychology management and mental coaching on improving the performance of basketball teams in Bandung. This study uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design. The research subjects consisted of two youth basketball teams in Bandung, which acted as the experimental and control groups, respectively. The experimental group was given an intervention in the form of a 12-week mental training program, which included visualization techniques, self-talk, stress management, and team cohesion enhancement. Team performance was measured using a series of indicators, including winning percentage, individual statistics (e.g., field goal percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio), and psychological evaluations (e.g., pre-game anxiety levels). Data analysis results showed a significant improvement in the performance of the experimental team after the intervention, compared to the control group. This improvement was seen in the winning percentage, team cohesion, and decreased anxiety levels. This study proves that sports psychology management and mental coaching programs are effective in optimizing basketball team performance.

Muhammad Syaleh — 2025-09-30

The implementation of sports activities in schools, although essential for the physical and character development of students, carries various potential risks, ranging from physical injuries to organizational and financial problems. This study aims to analyze the implementation of risk management in the organization of sports activities in schools in Gajahmungkur District, Semarang City. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with physical education teachers, principals, and students, as well as participatory observation and documentation studies. The results show that awareness of the importance of risk management still varies between schools. Some schools have implemented ad hoc risk mitigation measures, such as equipment checks, warm-ups, and strict supervision, but these have not been integrated into a systematic framework. Risk identification, evaluation, and response are often based on experience or intuition rather than structured analysis. In addition, collaboration between various related parties, such as parents and medical personnel, still needs to be improved. This study concludes that more intensive socialization and training on risk management for school staff is needed. The development of specific and standardized risk management guidelines for sports activities in schools is also highly recommended to improve the safety and effectiveness of activities.

Agung Hilmi Wahdi — 2025-09-30

Swimming is not only a competitive sport but also an effective intervention to improve physical and mental health. Despite its proven benefits, the integration of swimming into wellness programs in higher education is still limited, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week wellness swimming program on physical fitness and psychological well-being of sports education students at Riau University. A mixed-methods approach was used, incorporating quantitative data from 30 students (measured through the 12-minute Cooper Test, PSQI, DASS-21, and Likert scales) as well as semi-structured interviews with 5 participants. Quantitative results showed significant improvements in cardiovascular fitness (p < 0.01), sleep quality (p < 0.01), as well as decreased stress levels (p < 0.05) and daily fatigue (p < 0.01). Qualitative findings revealed increased energy, mental relaxation, and social support. The program was effective in improving physical and psychological health, supporting its integration into campus wellness initiatives. Colleges should consider swimming as a holistic wellness intervention, with the recommendation of continued research to explore long-term effects and scalability.

Fredy Eko Setiawan — 2025-09-30

The development of community-based sporting events in Indonesia is growing rapidly, driven by increasing public awareness of the importance of healthy lifestyles. However, the sustainability and scale of these events are often constrained by limited funding. Private sector involvement through sponsorship and strategic partnerships is one potential solution to overcome these challenges. This study aims to analyze the forms, motivations, and impacts of private sector involvement in organizing community-based sporting events in Ungaran District, Semarang Regency. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with event organizers, private company representatives, and participants. The results show that private sector involvement varies, ranging from direct financial support, provision of products/services, to branding partnerships. The main motivations for companies are brand image enhancement, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and market expansion. On the other hand, event organizers benefit from improved event quality, financial stability, and wider promotional reach. However, challenges such as vision mismatches, complex negotiations, and unmeasured impact evaluations are still encountered. This study concludes that effective collaboration requires transparent communication and a shared vision between both parties.

Manajemen Tata Kelola Gizi Atlet Disabilitas Cabang Olahraga Atletik Nomor Lempar

Reza Pramana Peranginangin — 2025-09-30

Latar belakang dan urgensi penelitian ini berakar pada status gizi atlet lempar NPC Sumatera Utara yang secara umum masih sub optimal dan belum ideal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, meskipun 70% atlet memiliki Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) normal, 30% tergolong gemuk, dan yang lebih krusial, tidak ada atlet yang mencapai kecukupan energi harian kategori "Baik" (≥100%). Mayoritas atlet (60% kategori "Sedang", 40% kategori "Kurang") belum mampu memenuhi kebutuhan energi secara optimal. Kondisi gizi yang kurang optimal dan adanya kelebihan lemak tubuh ini menimbulkan urgensi serius karena berpotensi besar menurunkan daya tahan, memengaruhi performa latihan, dan meningkatkan risiko cedera atlet. Masalah ini diperparah oleh asupan makanan selama pelatda yang cenderung monoton dan tidak disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan individu olahraga lempar yang berenergi tinggi, serta ketiadaan pendampingan ahli gizi dalam penyusunan menu harian, menjadikannya faktor utama rendahnya kecukupan gizi yang harus segera diatasi. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan terhadap atlet cabang lempar NPC Sumatera Utara, dapat disimpulkan bahwa secara umum status gizi para atlet masih belum ideal. Sebanyak 70% atlet memiliki Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) dalam kategori normal, sedangkan 30% tergolong gemuk.

Salsabilah Salsabilah — 2025-09-30

This study aims to analyze the effect of Body Mass Index (BMI) on the physical condition of karate athletes at the Riau Province Special Sports School. The physical conditions measured include arm and abdominal muscle strength, endurance, agility, flexibility, and leg muscle power. The research method used a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The sample consisted of 9 active karate athletes (5 female and 4 male) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through BMI measurements and a series of physical fitness tests such as push-ups, sit-ups, beep tests, Illinois Agility Runs, sit and reach tests, and standing board jumps. Descriptive analysis results showed that 89% of athletes had a normal BMI, while 11% were underweight, with no overweight or obese athletes. There was a significant relationship between BMI and flexibility (p=0.032; r=0.711), indicating that athletes with normal BMI had better flexibility than underweight athletes. Agility showed a positive but insignificant relationship with BMI (p=0.429; r=0.303). Endurance, arm and abdominal muscle strength, and leg muscle power did not show a significant relationship with BMI. In conclusion, BMI is an important indicator in supporting athletes' flexibility, but it does not directly affect other aspects of physical fitness. Monitoring BMI and holistic training programs are recommended for optimizing karate athletes' performance.

The Effectiveness of Audiovisual Media Management in Improving Students' Badminton Footwork Skills

Aidil Syaputra — 2025-09-30

Footwork skills are a fundamental aspect of badminton because they determine the efficiency of movement and the effectiveness of shots. However, many students still have difficulty mastering this technique. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of audio-visual media in improving badminton footwork skills. The study used a quasi-experimental method with a pretest–posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 73 Physical Education, Health, and Recreation students at the University of Riau in the even semester of 2024/2025, divided into an experimental group (n=37) and a control group (n=36). The research instrument was a badminton footwork test that had been validated by experts. The analysis results showed an increase in footwork skills in both groups, with the average gain in the experimental group (+1.57) higher than that in the control group (+1.06). The paired t-test showed a significant increase in the experimental group (p=0.002), but the independent t-test showed that the difference between the groups was not significant (p=0.052). These findings indicate that audio-visual media can be an effective complement to footwork learning, although it does not completely replace conventional methods.
