Plyometric training is a physical training method aimed at improving explosive strength and movement speed, which are crucial in martial arts such as silat. This mini-research aims to analyze the effect of plyometric training on enhancing the quality of kicks in silat, particularly in terms of power, speed, and accuracy. The method used is qualitative, involving a plyometric training program over several weeks applied to individuals learning silat, with performance measurements of kicks taken before and after the intervention. The results show that plyometric training significantly improves lower limb explosive power, coordination, and kicking effectiveness. These findings suggest that plyometrics is an effective training approach and can be integrated into physical development programs, particularly to enhance kicking ability.

Football players must be proficient in passing and shooting techniques to play the game on the field. Real Madrid and Barcelona have good passing and shooting skills and have interesting game characteristics. This study analyzes the passing and shooting technique skills of players in the El Classico Final of the 2025 Spanish Super Cup, using quantitative research methods with a descriptive approach. Real Madrid gained 321 successful and 60 unsuccessful. Meanwhile, in the Barcelona team, the number of passing players is 376 who succeed and 57 who fail. Meanwhile, in the long pass, Real Madrid won 30 successful and 35 unsuccessful. The Barcelona team obtained 26 successes and 32 failures. Real Madrid's ball possession got an Instep shoot 1 on goal, 4 on target, 13 off target and 1 free kick on goal. Meanwhile, Barcelona got an Instep shoot of 5 on goal, 3 on target, 6 off target. Barcelona's passing and shooting ability tends to be better than Real Madrid's. This proves that many passing and shooting affect the score or the entry of the ball towards the goal.

This study is a literature review that discusses the relationship between sports and politics in historical and contemporary contexts. Through an analysis of 10 recent scientific articles and journals, it was found that sports function not only as physical activities, but also as a tool of diplomacy, a symbol of identity, and a means of political expression. This study identifies various forms of political intervention in sports, both at the institutional level such as FIFA and UEFA, and by countries and individuals such as athletes. In Indonesia, history shows that sports have been a medium for political struggle since the colonial era until now as a tool for imaging and policy diplomacy. This finding emphasizes that sports are not neutral spaces, but strategic arenas in the dynamics of power and global identity. This study provides theoretical and practical contributions in understanding the strategic role of sports in socio-political development and encourages broader interdisciplinary studies in the future.

This study aims to investigate the impact of the traditional game Balakeh on the improvement of basic motor skills in students with mild intellectual disabilities at SDN Gayungan 2 Surabaya. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design, involving 12 students with mild intellectual disabilities from grades 4, 5, and 6. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The instruments used to measure basic motor skills included the Zig-Zag Run Test (agility), Static Flexibility Test (flexibility), and Standing Stork Test (balance). The results showed a significant improvement in all three aspects of motor skills after the implementation of the Balakeh game. On agility, the average time decreased from 11.13 seconds to 10.56 seconds, flexibility increased from 20.96 cm to 22.23 cm, and balance improved from 16.52 seconds to 17.45 seconds. The percentage of students meeting the completion criteria also increased, with agility reaching 83.33%, flexibility 91.67%, and balance 75%. These findings indicate that the Balakeh game is effective in enhancing basic motor skills in students with mild intellectual disabilities and can be integrated into adaptive PJOK education for children with special needs.

This study was conducted with the aim of determining the contribution of leg muscle power to long passing in football games at SSB Margosuko Tuban. The type of research applied in the research to be carried out refers to quantitative descriptive research. The subjects in this study involved 15 players.

This study aims to determine the effect of cone drill training through the traditional Hadang game on improving the agility of fifth-grade students at SDN Banjaran 03. The research used a one-group pretest-posttest design with a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 11 students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a shuttle run test to measure students' agility levels before and after the intervention, which consisted of Hadang game training for four weeks. Data analysis using a paired sample t-test showed a significant improvement in agility after the intervention, with a significance value (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that the Hadang game, which involves quick movements and frequent direction changes, is effective in enhancing the agility of elementary school students. This study recommends incorporating traditional games as an alternative method in physical education classes to improve students’ physical fitness in a fun and educational manner.
