Kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti tahap kemahiran mental dalam kalangan atlet pelajar sekolah. Kajian dilakukan secara tinjauan terhadap 24 pemain boling ten-pin yang mewakili negeri Perak dalam kejohanan Majlis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia 2018. Soal selidik Sport Personality Questionnaire (SPQ20) digunakan bagi mengukur 20 dimensi kemahiran mental yang terdiri daripada empat domain utama iaitu pencapaian dan persaingan, keyakinan dan resilien, interaksi dan semangat kesukanan, serta kuasa dan keagresifan. SPQ20 juga menentukan kecenderungan atlet terhadap matrik kemahiran mental dan potensi kepimpinan. Analisis deskriptif adalah berdasarkan pendekatan sistem RAG (Red, Amber, Green) Traffic Light. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan keseluruhan domain kemahiran mental berada pada tahap kuning (sederhana). Berdasarkan matrik kemahiran mental, paling ramai atlet berada dalam golongan confident achiever (54.2%). Berdasarkan matrik potensi kepimpinan pula, paling ramai atlet berada dalam golongan demo.....

This study examined the moderating effect of local and foreign coaches in the relationship between coaches leadership styles and athletes satisfaction in a case of high performance athletes in Malaysia (N = 350) under the organization of Majlis Sukan Negara. Five domains of leadership style showed positive correlation with athletes’ satisfaction (p < .05); Training and instruction, r = 0.623, Democratic, r = 0.500, Autocratic, r = 0.126, Social support, r = 0.540 and Positive feedback, r = 0.490.There is a significant different of autocratic leadership style and gender (p < .05) Female perceived coaches’ autocratic leadership style greater than male. However, in athletes satisfaction, there is no significant different between gender (p > .05). In comparing age groups, there is a significant different in training and instruction leadership style and athletes; satisfaction (p < .05). Age group of 24 – 26 years old perceived training and instruction and athletes’ satisfaction grea.....

The purpose of this study is to investigate the knowledge and awareness of dietary supplements among athletes in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI). Athletes (n=95, age: 22.5±2.4) completed a questionnaire on Google Docs regarding their habits and perceptions of dietary supplement intake. Among all respondents, 37 out of 95 (39%) took dietary supplements with the primary reason to improve energy (66%), strength (60%) or performance (59%). Athletes who did not take any supplement (58 out of 95; 61%) reported high supplement’s cost as their main reason (28%). The most chosen supplements are protein (43%), mass and strength gainer (19%), vitamin C (11%), energy booster, omega 3, and multivitamin (8% each), creatine, fat burner, vitamin B complex and BCAA (5%, each). The athletes believed that supplements are associated with health risk (75%), supplements can enhance performance (86%) and exercise increase the need for supplements (74%). They also believed that supplements can le.....

Pada masa kini masalah berlebihan berat badan adalah antara faktor utama masalah kesihatan di Malaysia. Pelbagai kaedah penurunan berat badan telah dicadangkan untuk mendapatkan kesan penurunan yang optimum. Beberapa penemuan terkini menunjukkan senaman tunggal secara pecutan (sprint) dapat dicadangkan sebagai kaedah senaman alternatif yang lebih cekap dari segi penjimatan masa untuk mengurangkan berat badan. Kaedah sprint interval training (SIT) dengan tempoh yang singkat iaitu 2 minggu telah menunjukkan potensi untuk menurunkan berat badan dalam kalangan individu obesiti. Dalam kajian ini, kesan latihan SIT dinilai ke atas indeks jisim tubuh (IJT), ukuran lilit pinggang (ULP), peratusan lemak badan, kadar nadi dan tekanan darah dalam kalangan individu berlebihan berat badan. Subjek kajian ini adalah pelajar Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (n=10, umur 23.8±0.42) yang mempunyai berat badan berlebihan iaitu dengan purata IJT di antara 25.0 hingga 29.9 (lelaki 29.9±3.75 dan perempua.....

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is more prone on female athletes compared to male athletes in non-contact mechanisms. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of four weeks neuromuscular training which closely associated with the dynamic balance and agility performance for preventing ACL injury among female athletes. There were sixteen female athletes from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) who are volleyball, basketball and futsal players participated in this study. The subjects were divided randomly into two groups; control group (CG) and experimental group (EG). The EG experienced four weeks of neuromuscular training while the CG performing their regular training. The pre-test and post-test were measured using Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) for dynamic balance and T-Test for agility. Statistical data were analyzed using independent sample t-test and the results demonstrated significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) for dynamic balance and agility between EG .....

Resistance training (RT) refers to a method of physical conditioning of complex programming which consists of progressive and various training techniques to achieve the desired training goals. An appropriate programme design is the key to success; where exercise selection is one of the critical factors. The selection of exercise will expose different stimulation as in the application of the specific adaptation on imposed demand principle. The option of choosing either bilateral (BI) or unilateral (UNI) exercise is an important decision to perform in the construction of any strength or RT programme. This study aimed to investigate the physiological responses of unilateral versus bilateral acute RT on heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE). Sixteen (n = 16) trained women with mean age of 23.31 (SD = 1.35) years old went through a total body exercise session for each unilateral and bilateral protocols which both consisted of major muscles group for 80% 1.....

Journal of Sports Science and Physical Education 7(1): Received: 3 January 2018, Accepted:10 February 2018 – Weightlifting is a sport that requires both dynamic strength and power. Until today, weightlifting coaches are still exploring different training modes in an attempt to enhance both muscular strength and power of the competitive weightlifters. Research has shown that the use of the “right” training method could further provide knowledge on such effect for competitive weightlifters (Storey & Smith, 2012). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using the complex training method (applicable to weightlifting) compared to traditional resistance training on muscular strength among male competitive (state level) weightlifters. Seventeen male competitive weightlifters were randomly assigned into 2 groups: experimental group (Complex Training; n = 9), and control group (Traditional Resistance Training; n = 8). All participants trained for 6 weeks (2 sessions .....
