The study's purpose was to improve students’ Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) through learning using the Teaching Game For Understanding (TGfU) as a medium. This study uses purposive sampling with the provision of classes that have a low average value of physical education. Materials and methods. This research is classroom action research (CAR). The sample used in this study consisted of one class totaling 32 students. Results. The results of the study were that in the first cycle there were two assessments carried out, namely when playing the first game and the second game. In the first game students got a pretty good score, namely for the average SEI (Skill Execution Index) value of 0.72 from the highest score of 1 with a percentage of 72%, In the second cycle, the treatment given to students was still the same as the treatment in 1st cycle. In the second cycle, this time in the 1st game the average SEI value increased to 0.79 with a percentage of 79% then DMI increased to 0.81 with a percentage of 81% and the SI value increased to 0.81 with a presentation of 81%. Conclusions. The learning process using TGfU can improve students’ HOTS skills. Learning TGfU with attacking and defending games, can improve decision making, execution skills, and player support which can be seen from each indicator that is determined to have increased from each cycle carried out by students. Hopefully, this research can be a support for Physical Education to grow more advanced.

Objective. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the part and whole combination-based smash training model on smash techniques in volleyball athletes aged 11-12 years. Materials and method. This study used an experimental field testing method, with a pretest-posttest control group design approach. The participants were 52 male volleyball athletes aged 11-12 years and had an average weight and height of ±36.02 kg and ±144.63cm. The instrument used to measure the smash technique was a volleyball skill test. Results. The results of the descriptive analysis showed differences in the mean and standard deviation of the conventional group and the experimental group. The average value of the conventional group is 75.562 with a standard deviation of 8.7956, while the average value of the experimental group is 87.492 with a standard deviation of 1.9343. Hypothesis testing conducted using Mann-Whitney analysis found that the value of Asymp sig (2-tailed) was 0.000 <0.05, which indicates that the hypothesis is accepted. Conclusions. Knowing the descriptive results and hypothesis testing, it is concluded that the experimental group experienced a significant improvement and was better than the conventional group. Based on the category of posttest average result assessment, the experimental group was included in the very good category. In other words, the experimental group was very competent. On this basis, this research can be used as a reference in training smash techniques for volleyball athletes at the beginner age.

The study purpose was to determine the relations of using digital media and physical activity with the physical fitness of 4th and 5th grade students of the state of Ngablak Elementary School in the academic year 2019/2020, Turi, Sleman Regency both individually and wholly. Materials and methods. This research is a correlative study, which aims to find out whether there is a relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The population of this study was 49 students from 4th and 5th grade of the state of Ngablak Elementary School in the academic year 2019/2020, Turi, Sleman. All of them were used as research subjects. The data collection technique is surveys. The surveys are done by applying collection techniques using surveys, tests and measurements. The instrument used in this study was a questionnaire both for digital media variables and physical activities, as well as the physical fitness test for Indonesian physical fitness variables. Data analysis techniques are regression and correlation analysis, both in simple way and double way through the prerequisite tests for normality and linearity. Results. The results showed that at the level of 5% error means the correlation between the use of digital media and physical activity and the physical fitness of students in 4th and 5th grade of the state of Ngablak Elementary School in 2019/2020 academic year Turi, Sleman Regency, it was Fcount = 11.072 > Ftable = 3.20. Conclusions. Since Fcount > Ftable, it can be concluded there is a significant relation between the use of digital media and physical activity and physical fitness.

The advancement of sport, especially sport coaching in Indonesia, depends on the level of success of sport science and technology transfer process to sport community. This study aims (1) to describe patterns of sports science and technology transfer process to community, and (2) to analyze the level of accessibility and familiarity of the tools of technology-based physical ability test among coaches and sport community. This is a continuation of embryo research on modeling selection and utilization of technology-based devices through the Nominal Group Technique (NGT) at the research stage next year. The experiment was conducted by applying the combination method of various approaches. The approaches includes: Bibliographical Studies, Survey Descriptive, Nominal Groups Technique (NGT), as well as certain stages of a study on modeling the selection and use of hardware and software tools of modern physical ability test on sports community achievements in Surakarta. The results showed that basically the coaches have a tendency as follows: (1) 98.7% respondents felt that most coaches are ready to make improvements by training themselves in using sports science and technology, (2) 97.3% felt that a refreshing model of science and technology-based exercise planning process organized by the stakeholder group exercise can be followed periodically and coached evenly, (3) Respondents did not agree with the statement that community sports coach had appreciation for applied sports science and technology development, the lowest mean item score is the issue of “appreciation of science and technology development in sports”. It is high time for coaches in Indonesia to increase their appreciation to sport science and technology, and sport community.

The study purpose: The project's goal is to develop sustainable tourism destinations in Kemuning Village by reviewing the literature on sports tourism Materials and methods: An extensive literature review was carried out. Articles from 2015 to 2024 covered ways to enhance sustainable tourism by fostering the growth of sports tourism. For electronic searches, Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus are used. All the articles that discuss how to improve sports tourism-based tourist attractions are included here. Results: According to the integrated theory of tourism, sports have a role in (1) tourism management strategies, which include methods, facilities, tourist attractions, SOPs, infrastructure, additions and maintenance of facilities, sustainable management of natural resources, and visitor security and safety; (2) the role of stakeholders, which includes the government as a regulator and related institutions; and (3) the role of the authorities, which includes government agencies and institutions related to Sports tourism will increase visits to Central Java and improve the economy. Sports activities in tourist destinations can benefit local governments, enhance community welfare, and create more job opportunities if they are appropriately managed.

Background and Study Aim. Balance is an important factor in basketball. Thus, the low level of balance needs to be improved to support future achievements of youth basketball players. The aim of study is to determine the influence of bosu ball exercises and theraband exercise on the balance of basketball players aged 16 and 18 years old. Material and Methods. The research design used is experimental research with 2x2 factorial analysis. The level of significance was set a 0.05 for all samples. In the study participated 64 men's basketball players aged 16 years old (n=32) and 18 years old (n=32). Players were each divided into 4 sample groups of 8 players. Results. The test results before the experiment and after the experiment showed that in all groups there were various changes in the balance. There is a more significant change in balance after performing exercises with the ball bosu in the group of 16 years old. In the 18-year-old group, there is a more significant change in balance after performing theraband exercises. Conclusions. Characteristics of the age group of 16 years and 18 years are not much different. Bosu ball exercises give a better effect than theraband exercise.
