Although the right to participate in sports is recognized in international conventions, accessibility to sports facilities has been cited as barriers to participation. Managers of sports facilities must know the standards that refer to the rules and accessibility to meet the needs of persons with disabilities to participate in sports and to attend sporting events. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the accessibility of sports facilities for training and competition in Indonesia and Malaysia. This study used a qualitative method through focus group discussions. Fifteen focus group discussions were conducted with 90 athletes from eight sports (boccia, goalball, basketball, badminton, ping-pong, swimming, powerlifting and blind football) who trained and competed in inclusive sports facilities. There were five major themes that we identified: access to training facilities, access inside training facilities, access during matches and athletes’ expectations of training and competition facilities.

This research based-community service is carried out based on the fact that sports achievement development in Ciamis regency is still relatively low and only certain sports could achieve medals at the 2014 West Java Regional Sports Games (PORDA), in Bekasi. This study was conducted as an education and training program in the form of Life Kinetik implementation training methods for sports coaches. So that they will understand this training method and able to implement it during their coaching session. Sports achievement on that regency has dramatically decreased in recent years. Whereas, on previous PORDA, Ciamis regency was one of the barometer cities in West Java for sports achievement. This is because that regency had many representatives to compete on National Sports Games (PON). The observational trial method used in this study. 28 sports coaches that members of the National Sports Committee in the Ciamis Regency were involved. Based on the findings, we can conclude that Life Kinetik training program gives significant psychological effects for athletes to be applied in training sessions.

This study examines the influence difference between Life Kinetik training and conventional training on increasing concentration and football playing skills. This exercise has not been widely applied in the training process to improve psychological abilities and football skills. The method used in this study is an experiment with 90 football athletes subject in one of the state universities in Indonesia. Through random selection subjects, 40 people were taken, and the random assignment of subjects was divided into two, namely the experimental and control groups of 20 people each. The instrument to measure concentration was used, the Concentration Grid Test (CGT), and the instrument to measure football playing skills, the Games Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI). This study uses a pretest-posttest control group design. The data analysis technique used the non-parametric Mann Whitney Test with SPSS version 21. The results showed significant differences in the effect of Life Kinetik training and conventional training on increasing concentration and football playing skills. Life Kinetik Training is better than conventional training for increasing concentration and soccer-playing skills. The authors would like to recommend coaches and athletes in the football to use Life Kinetik in the training process because it can improve athlete concentration and football playing skills.

Shooting skills are complex. Athletes often have to face a situation requiring one shot to get a perfect score and maintain concentration and the trigger pull. This study aimed to analyze the difference in progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) exercise on increasing concentration and performance scores of 10-meter shooting. A total of 12 athletes (seven female dan five males) in Purwakarta were recruited for this study. They were randomly assigned to the PMR group (n = 6) and the control group (n = 6). The instruments used were the Concentration Grid Test for measuring concentration and the scores of 60 shots of the 10-meter shooting of both men and women for a performance test. Data analysis using MANCOVA was performed using shooting and concentration scores as the dependent variables and covariates to determine their performance. They can be differentiated based on conventional training methods, progressive muscle relaxation, and the interaction of these factors. The results of the MANCOVA indicated a significant main effect for exercise methods. It was revealed that differences in exercise methods had a significant effect on concentration and shooting scores. When athletes face the demands of top performance, PMR training is an economical but efficient and effective strategy for dealing with the problems. It helps athletes to do the self-control and focus their attention during stressful situations. It also can be used to maintain physical, technical, and mental balances.

Sports activity has been identified as a context where positive and negative experiences encountered by youth. However, the factors that lead to positive and negative personal development are relatively less discovered among sport participants. The aim of this study is to find out motivation levels on either positive or negative personal development of sports participation. The questionnaire in this study was given to youth in the community by containing two indicators, the level of sports participation was based on intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Both of these factors indicated the level of adolescent motivation influencing factors on sports participation. Participants in this study were 20 men (57.1%) and 15 women (42.9%) between the ages of 9 and 19 years. The results showed that motivation levels of sports participation on the high level was 9 youth (36%), the moderate level was 14 youth (56%), and the low level was 2 youth (8%). It can be concluded that the level of youth motivation to participate in sports is mostly moderate.

Sports heroes are considered worthy of appreciation, especially for those who contribute to providing achievements for the nation at regional and international levels. The reward is given to athletes and coaches during their productive lives in the present until their retirement period. However, the rewards received by athletes and coaches tend not to be able to fulfill their welfare as a guarantee of life in the future. Therefore, this study was aimed at determining the relationship between rewards and the level of welfare given by the government and sports committees in Indonesia to athletes and coaches. This research was an ex-post-facto study using a self-administered closed-questionnaire conducted on athletes and national coaches on the 30th SEA Games team in Philippines in 2019. The number of samples was determined by using Slovin formula at 5% error rate and carried out on 46 athletes and nine coaches under the authority of the Indonesian National Sports Committee in Bandung. Data analysis was performed by using SPSS. From the results obtained, these rewards also had a direct correlation with the level of welfare of athletes and coaches. Considering that, if a maximum reward is given, the level of welfare will also be increased. The results indicates that there is a robust and significant positive relationship between rewards and welfare. Athletes and coaches expected the government and sports committee in Indonesia to give rewards that are not only limited to bonuses in terms of financial. Other aspects also need a concern when the athletes and coaches are no longer productive in contributing to the national sports achievements.
