The respondents were 70 students in two sections of PATHFIT 1. The study investigated students' performance using Video-Based Material in teaching muscular fitness exercises, their perceived level of encountered problems, and whether there is a significant difference between students’ performance using video-based instructional material and traditional teaching material. The findings showed that the students’ performance who use the video-based material enhances the students’ performance. The acceptability level of the video-based instructional material revealed that students strongly agreed on learning processes. However, there is no significant relationship between the variables. Thus, it is recommended that the enhanced Video-Based Instructional Material in Teaching Muscle Fitness Exercises be implemented in the school, especially in teaching exercises in PATHFIT 1.","PeriodicalId":485787,"journal":{"name":"Journal of sports and physical education studies","volume":"53 18","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140082215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Physiotherapy problems that commonly occur in post-stroke hemiparesis include decreased muscle strength, spasticity, and balance disorders. This research is a correlation analysis study with one independent variable and 2 dependent variables, aiming to determine the correlation between balance improvement with decreased leg muscle spasticity and improved leg muscle strength in post-stroke hemiparesis patients, carried out at the Inggit Medical Center Clinic Makassar with a total sample of 12 people who met the inclusion criteria and were given intervention in the form of the bobath method for 10 treatments, the measuring instruments used were functional reach test (FRT) for balance, Asworth scale for spasticity, and chair stand for leg muscle strength. Spearman test between balance and muscle strength obtained a p value of 0.001 (p <0.05) with a positive r of 0.822 which means there is a positive and significant correlation between increasing balance and increasing muscle strength. While between balance and spasticity obtained a p value of 0.04 (p <0.05) with a negative r value of 0.584, which means there is a negative and significant correlation between increasing balance and decreasing spasticity. Improved balance has a significant relationship with increased muscle strength, and improved balance has a significant relationship with decreased spasticity in post-stroke hemiparesis patients.","PeriodicalId":485787,"journal":{"name":"Journal of sports and physical education studies","volume":"7 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139525564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It utilized the quantitative research method; thus, this study used a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design. The researchers used this design in conducting this study to evaluate if the intervention known as moderate aerobic exercise, precisely the brisk walk-in-place exercise, positively affects the students' memory retention. Moreover, this research design helps determine the effect of the treatment on the respondents before and after manipulation. Physical exercise has undeniably positive effects on both our bodies and minds. The scientific literature emphasizes its impact on our memory. The idea that something as simple as exercise, which anyone can do, has the potential to improve our memory is reason enough to investigate further. This will be especially beneficial for students, as having a good memory is a requirement for academic success. They chose them as the respondents in this study because their major requires much memorization, and they recently switched from online to face-to-face classes. This research aims to see if there is a difference in students' memory retention before and after moderate aerobic exercise. The research was motivated by the recognized positive influence of physical exercise on memory. It focused on its relevance to students who require strong memorization skills for academic success, especially considering the transition from online to in-person classes. The primary objective was to examine any variations in memory retention before and after moderate aerobic exercise. Individuals were given the challenge of memorizing 50 pairs of words within a ten-minute time frame. This task was repeated on the second, third, and fourth days, and a memory retention test was administered on the fifth day. While the overall results did not reveal a significant difference in memory recall, some participants showed modest improvements, suggesting potential benefits for certain students. The study recommends that future investigations consider factors such as IQ levels, learning preferences, diet, sleep duration, and life stressors, which could influence students' memory abilities.","PeriodicalId":485787,"journal":{"name":"Journal of sports and physical education studies","volume":"36 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

R. A. C. Gamlath, Lal Ekanayake","doi":"10.32996/jspes.2023.3.3.3","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32996/jspes.2023.3.3.3","url":null,"abstract":"High levels of agility, speed, response time, repeated muscle endurance, and both aerobic and anaerobic capacity are necessary for squash participation. There is a limited amount of standard traditional periodization to achieve optimal physical fitness for squash. Consequently, the goal of this research is to identify a more creative training design strategy. The purpose of this article aims to highlight the benefits of an 8-week plyometric program to help improve power, acceleration, and change of direction speed in elite squash players in Sri Lanka. Eleven elite squash players (age 20.81 ± 1.23 years; height 1.71 ± 1.59 m; weight 63.4 ± 4.11 kg) volunteered to participate. The plyometric program included three days per week for 8 weeks, including sets of 2 to 5 and 4 to 16 repetitions, with 2 to 5 minutes of rest for each plyometric exercise, in addition to their regular squash practice. Agility was assessed using the 505 Agility Test (505AT), while power performance was measured through the vertical jump (VJ) test and acceleration was measured through a 10 m sprint test, both before and after the training period. Change of Direction speed was calculated through COD deficit. Significant improvements for the vertical jump test, 505 AT, and 10 m sprint test (21.02 %, 20.32 %, and 16.68 % respectively) were noted after 8 weeks of the plyometric program and also, the change of direction speed was 13.39 % significantly improved. The 8-week plyometric program displayed significant improvement in power, and change of direction speed, suggesting that a method can be highly beneficial for squash players and coaches.","PeriodicalId":485787,"journal":{"name":"Journal of sports and physical education studies","volume":"112 24","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138607443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
