The physical fitness course is a mandatory subject for undergraduate students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Indonesia. However, there is limited physical activity possibly performed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, conventional physical fitness tests and measurements could not be conducted in a conventional way. This study aimed to test the possibility of the Personal Physical Fitness Test (PPT) being implemented by college students who were enrolled in a physical fitness course. There were 1.639 college students aged 18 ± 0.81 years old who participated in this study. The independent physical fitness test was designed to represent several physical components i.e., standing board jump (lower body strength). Plank (core strength), push-ups (upper body strength), and one-minute skipping (cardiorespiratory). The data were in the normal distribution. Male students performed better than females in every test (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the data were categorized on each test based on gender. The categories are excellent, good, fair, poor, and very poor. In a further study, the personal physical fitness test could be implemented in a larger sample size.

Rapid advances in technology are of particular concern in the development of sports. Studies related to the application of technology in sports have begun to develop, especially in the sport of Taekwondo. This research aims to develop an Android-based statistical application that focuses on analyzing taekwondo matches. This is an research and development (R&D) project. Interviews were conducted to collect information needed for researchers and the needs of athletes and coaches in developing this application. Experiments and evaluations are needed to perfect the applications that have been created. The results of the study are statistical applications for analyzing attack techniques, defensive techniques, and game patterns. These applications were specifically designed for the Android platform. The main advantage of this application is its ability to increase efficiency and accuracy in match analysis, replacing manual methods that are prone to errors. By providing tools that can be accessed on a variety of mobile devices, the app hopes to bring positive change in the way coaches and athletes approach competition preparation. In conclusion, it is hoped that the development of an Android-based statistical application can make a real contribution to the development of the sport of taekwondo by providing specific, efficient and responsive technological solutions.

Background. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused various adaptations in the world of sports. One form of adaptation that is carried out is training at home or known as training from home (TFH). Study purpose. This study aims to see the effectiveness of the chimney jump and standing leg extension exercises carried out by volleyball athletes during training at home or training from home (TFH). Materials and methods. A total of 36 volleyball athletes with an age range of 19-20 years were selected by purposive sampling and divided into the chimney jump (KCJ) group, the standing leg extension (KSE) group, and the control group (KKL). This research is quantitative research with a quasi-experimental research design with one group pretest posttest design. The three variables used as the dependent variable are agility, balance, and athlete's leg power which were measured before TFH and after the athlete carried out TFH for 3 months. The results of the exercise were analyzed descriptively and continued to be analyzed using the Independent Samples T-test and One-Way ANOVA. Results. There was a significant difference in the results of the leg power posttest of the three groups (<.05) with KCJ having the highest average leg power (77.76 ± 9.38). Furthermore, KSE has the highest average in agility (56.83 ± 11.93) and balance (38.75 ± 3.02). Conclusions. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the chimney jump has a significant impact on increasing leg power. On the other hand, the standing leg extension has a positive impact on increasing agility and balance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study intends to investigate the relationship between technology readiness and psychological well-being with academic performance. The investigation utilised a quantitative approach and correlational statistical procedure. In this study, the participants were students majoring in physical education at the Universitas Negeri Surabaya in Indonesia (n=85). The current study adopted questionnaires to evaluate technology readiness and psychological well-being, whereas test scores served as indicators of student academic accomplishment. IBM SPSS was employed to evaluate this study's normality and descriptive statistics. In the meantime, the Pearson correlation was utilised to test the relationship between variables. A multiple regression analysis was run to examine the strongest predicator of technology readiness, psychological well-being with academic performance. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between of technology readiness and psychological well-being with academic performance (p-values≤0.05). Thus, it may be inferred that technology readiness and psychological well-being components could be predictors of academic performance in physical education for students. This study's findings contribute to our knowledge and supply lecturers with information and scientific insight into the significance of technology readiness and psychological well-being for university students.
