Background: Knee injuries are common in sports that involve explosive movements, and inadequate treatment can result in long-term functional impairments. Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Spodetrig massage, physical exercise, and hypnotherapy in the rehabilitation of knee injuries. Methods: A quasiexperimental design with a pretest-posttest control group was used. Participants were selected through purposive sampling based on specific criteria and provided informed consent to participate in all phases of the study. A total of 44 male participants were enrolled and divided into two groups: an intervention group (TG) and a control group (CG), with 22 participants in each. The CG did not receive any treatment, while the TG underwent a regimen of Spodetrig massage, physical exercise, and hypnotherapy. A descriptive analysis was performed to characterize the participants. The mean ± SD for age in the CG was 29.13±7.47 years, and in the TG was 30.95±9.70 years. For height, the CG averaged 170.09±6.99 cm, while the TG was slightly taller with 173.04±6.70 cm. The CG's weight was 72.18±4.26 kg, and the TG was 69.68±6.96 kg. The BMI of the CG was 25.03±2.12 kg/m², and the TG was 23.26±9.70 kg/m². The program lasted eight weeks, with two sessions per week. Psychological intervention (hypnotherapy) was given once a week. Data were collected before and after the treatment for the TG, while the CG underwent only initial and final testing. Various tools were used to measure pain levels, such as Range of Motion (ROM), Static Postural and Balance Control (SPBC), and knee function, Victorian Institute of Sport Assessment-Patella (VISA-P). Results: The results indicated that massage, exercise, and hypnotherapy treatment significantly reduced pain levels (0.00, p < 0.05; pain level in TG 2.45 ± 0.912; pain level in CG 4.73 ± 0.827), improved ROM (0.00, p < 0.05; ROM in TG 134.14 ± 5.130; ROM in CG 126.91 ± 5.715), enhanced SPCB (0.00, p < 0.05; SPCB in CG 49.05; SPCB in TG 36.64), and increased VISAP scores (0.00, p < 0.05; VISA-P score in TG 74.68; VISA-P score in CG 55.27). The differences between the CG and TG were all statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Spodetrig massage, exercise, and hypnotherapy effectively heal knee injuries, enabling individuals to return to their preferred sports activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Problem statement: This research aims to elucidate the intricate relationship between training methods (gamebased passive and static stretching) and trunk flexibility, specifically in their influence on the proficiency of executing the forward roll in floor exercises. Purpose: This study aims to explore how training methods (gamebased passive and static stretching) and trunk flexibility affect the forward roll skill in floor exercise. Despite the importance of these training modalities in enhancing physical performance, there remains a gap in understanding their combined impact on the forward roll skill. We hypothesize that the efficacy of training methods and trunk flexibility will significantly influence the execution the forward roll skill. Approach: The study employed an experimental approach with a 2 x 2 factorial design involving randomly selected students (N=40) aged 14.3±8.2 years old, who provided informed consent. Participants were divided into four groups and received either game-based passive or static stretching training over approximately six weeks, with a frequency of three times per week. Trunk flexibility and skill of forward roll data were assessed using the forward trunk flexion test, validity: r= 0.88 and reliability: r = 0.89, and forward rolling test, validity: r = 0.86 and reliability: r = 0.83. Data were analyzed using two-way ANOVA and the Tukey test. Results: Research findings revealed significant differences: (1) game-based passive stretching was more effective than gamebased static stretching in enhancing the skill of forward roll (P<0.05), with an increase of 2.6 vs. 1.5, respectively; (2) individuals with high trunk flexibility benefited more from passive stretching than static stretching (P<0.05); (3) no significant difference was found in individuals with low trunk flexibility (P>0.05); (4) an interaction effect between training method and trunk flexibility was observed (P<0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion, game-based passive stretching is more beneficial for individuals with high trunk flexibility, while game-based static stretching may yield better results for those with low trunk flexibility. However, both modalities can be advantageous for individuals with low trunk flexibility. These findings offer insights for coaches and gymnastics instructors to tailor training programs effectively to enhance the skill of forward roll in floor exercise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The serious implications of asthma stem largely from inadequate control of the condition, affecting individuals with both regular and irregular physical activities. Objective: This study aims to assess the effect of Continuous Run (CR), Circuit Training (CT), and High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) over a 3-month period on reducing, controlling, and improving fitness in individuals with asthma. Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental study design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The treatment involved physical exercise programs (CR, CT, and HIIT) conducted at the athletic field of Padang State University from June 2023 to August 2023. A total of 21 participants (16 males and 5 females) were recruited to participate in this research. They were chosen after meeting inclusion criteria--asthma diagnosis, physical inactivity, between 17 and 40 years old, willingness to refrain from other treatments except using an inhaler in case of relapse, and providing informed consent. Participants who willingly signed and completed the study were distributed to treatment groups, receiving the same exercise program with identical dosages and intensities of CR, CT, and HIIT. The exercise program lasted 75 minutes per session, three times a week for 12 weeks. Data were collected using several instruments. First, spirometry was employed to examine lung function (Forced Vital Capacity [FVC] and Forced Expiratory Volume in one second [FEV1]) with a cut-point of 0.75. Meanwhile, asthma symptom control was measured by the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), and VO2Max was assessed through a 2.4-kilometer run. The data were then analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test through the IBM SPSS Statistics version 25. Results: All participants completed the combined CR, CT, and HIIT exercise program over 12 weeks. Data analysis revealed significant improvement in lung function, with the average FVC score increasing from 61.62 ± 7.37 to 81.90 ± 4.06, representing a 35.52% increase. Furthermore, the pretest and posttest FVC results indicated an increase from 71.09 ± 4.75 to 90.00 ± 4.46, corresponding to a 27.17% reduction in FVC score, suggesting enhanced lung function. ACQ scores demonstrated a decrease from 1.58 ± 0.17 to 1.20 ± 0.13, representing a 23.34% reduction. Inferential statistical tests revealed significant differences (P < 0.05) between pretest and posttest values for FEV1, FVC, ACQ, and VO2Max in each group. Conclusion: The CR, CT, and HIIT exercise program has been verified as effective in improving lung function, asthma control, and VO2Max. This study provides new insights into asthma treatment through CR, CT, and HIIT exercise programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Children are the most vulnerable group when natural disasters occur, but few children have the knowledge to save themselves when a disaster occurs. The lack or even ignorance of the actions that need to be taken when a disaster occurs is the cause of the high number of child victims during natural disasters. This research aims to develop and validate a natural disaster mitigation games program that can increase children's knowledge of natural disaster preparedness. Methods: 140 students were involved in testing research products. The method used in this research is research & development with 10 stages. Validity analysis of item suitability through Aiken v which was processed using Microsoft Excel. Reliability data was analyzed using SPSS 20. Results: Natural disaster mitigation learning products were produced which were conceptualized through 7 fun disaster mitigation games consisting of games for earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, floods, landslides, tornadoes, forest fires. The results of this research obtained optimal content validity values (Aiken V = 0.81). Average internal validation value (r=0.81). The reliability value was obtained using Cronbach's Alpha with a value of 1.0. From the test results, it was concluded that the disaster mitigation learning program for kindergarten students through fun physical disaster games was valid and reliable. Conclusions: The findings show that the disaster mitigation learning program through physical fun games mitigation has proven to be valid and reliable for use in teaching kindergarten student natural disaster mitigation material. Through learning physical fun mitigation games, children are more active in understanding the concept of disaster mitigation where children directly practice self-saving actions. The physical fun games mitigation program provides children with emergency skills, knowledge of evacuation routes, how to use safety equipment, and actions to take in emergency situations. Children's knowledge of mitigation makes children agents of change in building a culture of safety and disaster mitigation in their environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper is a reflection of observations made from the study done to know the intricacies of different alcoholic drinks with a focus on "Wine" for positioning it in the preference list of consumers of Alcoholic Beverages - globally, going by the choices of people in different geographical, climatic and the cultural locations. For some, Wine is the most liked drink and for some it is alright to have, but then the "Why and Why not" of individual preferences or otherwise is a matter of personal indulgence. The paper throws light on those observations made about Wine. The positioning of Wine in the consumer's preference list of Alcoholic beverages would naturally be one that it deserves. The paper also provides a glimpse of what „Wine? is doing in the market in general to work and gain its due share among those competing with one another, enthusing the lovers of Alcoholic beverages.

There are still many football coaches who disagree to have weight training in competition season for fear of increasing physical elements on one side but resulting in a decrease in other elements, for example strength increases, but running speed does not increase or it can even decrease. The statement is actually not unreasonable if the weight training is done with the correct method. There is no empirical evidence that tests the method of progressive weight training and constant weight training on strength, running speed and muscular endurance. This study aims to analyze the differences in the effects of progressive weight training and constant weight training on muscle strength, running speed and muscle endurance of soccer players. This type of research is experimental research, with the design "The Randomized Pretestposttest Control Group Design". The sample of this study is the Yogyakarta State University football players aged 18-24 years. The studied variables were as follows: Independent variables included: 1) progressive weight training, 2) constant weight training, and 3) play training. Dependent variables: 1) muscle strength, 2) running speed, and 3) endurance of leg muscles. Data collection instruments used were: 1) the Leg Dynamometer to measure the leg muscle strength, 2) the running test to measure the running speed of the 50 Yard, was used, 3) To measure the leg muscle endurance, the Half Squat Test was used to find out the effects of exercise on muscle strength, speed, and endurance data were analyzed by t-test. Meanwhile, to analyze the differences in the mean count due to the effect of weight training between the study groups, the data were analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANAVA) techniques. The results of this study concluded that: (1) weight training using progressive weight training methods and constant weight training methods that are provided for 8 weeks with a frequency of 3 times per week, with a load between 60 to 80% of maximum ability, with reps between 8 to 12 times per set can be done by soccer athletes during competition periods, because both methods can increase muscle strength, and can also increase explosive power, running speed and muscular endurance, (2) If the training period before entering the competition is relatively short, for example, only 3-4 months.
