Studies have indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has had miserable effects on athlete performance due to the movement control order (MCO) announced by the Malaysia Government. Dealing with self-training without the coach's guidance leads the archers to lose concentration, diminished self-confidence, and elevated anxiety levels. These factors contribute to inconsistent shooting performance. This study attempted to identify the archer's anxiety status during the training isolation period on the shooting performance. A total of 32 participants from the recurve archery category were recruited and enrolled in a web-based cross-sectional study during the MCO. The CSAI-2R instrument was applied to participants to examine the psychological aspect. Training Isolation resulted in a significant effect on anxiety status and shooting performance. Analysis from CSAI-2R, low-level archers, indicated 5% more anxiety than top-level archers for both cognitive and somatic anxiety sub-component. In contr.....

The incorporation of technology is a consistent aspect of education, which is widely advanced through teaching and learning (T&L) in the industrial revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) education technology. In this study, an automatic thread insertion set for sewing (ATIKs) was developed. The ATIKs device improves students' understanding and facilitates the process of sewing in fashion design subjects for high school curriculum. The device was programmed using an Arduino microcontroller board and open source Arduino software (IDE). The CDIO model is used as the basis for product development, which includes the steps from conception to design, implementation, and operation. The development for this product consists of the main components standard needle size, automatic thread, Arduino UNO R3, stepper motor, coil, and Arduino coding to control the movement. In addition, this product is relatively portable with its dimensions of 7 x 7 x 10 cm. A qualitative research method was applied using a list of .....
