The purpose of this study was to determine: (1) The difference in the effect of plyometric training methods between double leg bound training and double leg vertical power jump training on 100-meter running ability, (2) The difference in the effect between high balance and low balance on 100-meter running ability, (3) Interaction between plyometric and balance training methods on 100-meter running ability. The instruments used to collect data were: (1) Balance test (Modified Bass Test of Dynamic Balance), (2) 100-meter running ability test with time test, (3) Training program as a guideline that will be used in providing treatment . The data analysis technique used was Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results of the hypothesis testing proved that: (1) There is no difference in the influence between double leg bound training and double leg vertical power jump training on 100-meter running ability. By looking at the similarity of the movements that both jump use both legs, it seems that these two exercises are variations in training, as a result the two plyometric training methods are not significantly different. (2) There is a difference in the influence between high balance and low balance on 100-meter running ability. The results of the data analysis showed that high balance has a significant difference in influence with low balance. (3) There is no interaction of influence between plyometric and balance training methods on 100-meter running ability. Related to the interaction hypothesis, it turns out that the results of the hypothesis testing have proven that there is no interaction between plyometric and balance training methods on 100-meter running ability where the calculated F value = 0.006 < than the F table value = 2.82 at a significance level of α = 0.05. Conclusion of the study: 1) There is no significant difference in influence between double leg bound training and double leg vertical power jump training on 100-meter running ability. 2) There is a significant difference in the influence of high balance and low balance on 100-meter running ability. 3) There is no interaction between plyometric training methods and balance on 100-meter running ability.

Education is an important sector in the development of a country, and effective utilization of educational resources plays a major role in achieving these goals. However, in Indonesia, the utilization of educational resources still faces various challenges, especially related to the unequal distribution of resources between urban and remote areas. This study aims to analyze the utilization of educational resources in Indonesia, both in terms of the quality of educators, educational facilities, and available technology. The research method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive analysis to describe the current conditions and existing challenges. The results of the study show that despite government efforts, there is still a large gap in access to education between developed and disadvantaged areas. Assistance programs such as the School Operational Assistance Fund (BOS) and the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP) have not fully reached areas in need. The quality of educators is also a major obstacle, especially in the 3T (frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged) areas, where many teachers have not received adequate training. In addition, the problem of uneven distribution of educational infrastructure is a major obstacle in creating a conducive learning environment. This study suggests the need for equal distribution of education budgets, improvement of teacher quality through continuous training, and more transparent and efficient management of existing education resources. The implementation of educational technology is also expected to improve the quality of learning in areas with physical limitations. In the long term, more inclusive and locally data-based policies will strengthen Indonesia's education system.

Life in orphanages presents various psychological challenges for adolescents, including low self-confidence and limited emotional support. This study aims to improve the resilience of adolescents at Al-Hikmah Orphanage through positive affirmation intervention. The positive affirmation technique is a positive statement written consciously and confidently, which is proven to be effective in overcoming negative thinking, building self-confidence, and creating better psychological conditions. This study used a participatory intervention design involving 10 adolescents aged 16-18 years. The activities included initial data collection through pre-test, introduction to the concept of resilience, emotion management training, problem solving exercises, and decision making. Evaluation was conducted using a post-test to measure changes in resilience, followed by documentation of program results and a final report. The results of the intervention showed significant improvements in adolescents' self-confidence, ability to write life goals, and positive mindset. The main supporting factors were the enthusiasm of the participants, the active support of the caregivers, and the conducive environment of the home.
