Sampel kajian adalah terdiri daripada 10 orang pemain yang berumur 10 tahun dan 10 orang berumur 11 tahun (N = 20). Data kajian ini diperoleh melalui skor borang soal selidik Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) untuk mengukur tahap tekanan emosi. Analisis nilai min dan peratusan digunakan untuk melihat tahap tekanan emosi manakala ujian Mixed Anova digunakan untuk mengkaji kesan latihan PMR terhadap kumpulan rawatan iaitu pemain bola jaring yang menyertai Karnival Tunas Mini Olimpik (KATMO). Subjek dibahagikan kepada kumpulan kawalan yang menjalani sesi menyejukkan badan seperti biasa manakala kumpulan rawatan menjalani PMR. Hasil kajian menunjukkan perbezaan kesan yang signifikan antara skor kumpulan kawalan dan rawatan, F(1, 18) = 50.22, p = .00, ηp 2 = 0.74) di mana kumpulan rawatan didapati berjaya menurunkan skor stress, kebimbangan dan kemurungan dengan lebih banyak. Oleh yang demikian, jurulatih dan atlet harus memberi tumpuan terhadap latihan relaksasi untuk mengatasi masalah tekanan emosi dan kebimbangan untuk membantu dalam mencapai prestasi puncak. Kata kunci: pemain bola jaring, DASS-21, tekanan emosi, kebimbangan, latihan relaksasi.

The sport of golf demands not just physical skills but also psychological fortitude from players. To succeed in golf, athletes must have mental strength, emotional stability, and appropriate levels of anxiety. A sound psychological training program can help improve their performance, and this is precisely why the current study aims to investigate whether a Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) module would be effective in achieving this goal. Materials and methods. To conduct the study, the researchers administered a questionnaire to 120 former and current golf athletes. The data collected from the survey was analyzed using IBM SPSS software. Results. The results reveal that a vast majority of the respondents (86.8%) believe that creating an NLP module that focuses on psychological aspects would be advantageous. The study's findings suggest that there is a pressing need to develop an NLP module that addresses the psychological needs of golfers. Conclusions. Th...

Rekabentuk kajian adalah kaedah tinjauan menggunakan soal selidik Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionaire (TEOSQ) dan The Judgement About Moral Behavior in Youth Sport Questionaire (JAMBYSQ). Responden kajian adalah atlet bola baling bawah 18 tahun yang mewakili 8 buah daerah di Negeri Sembilan (n = 192, 96 lelaki dan 96 perempuan). Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif (peratus, kekerapan, min dan sisihan piawai) dan statistik inferensi (ujian-t) dan korelasi. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan corak orientasi tugasan atlet bola baling perempuan adalah lebih tinggi berbanding atlet lelaki bagi kedua-dua orientasi tugasan dan ego. Hasil dapatan ujian-t menunjukkan atlet bola baling perempuan mempunyai tahap kebimbangan kognitif dan somatik yang lebih tinggi berbanding atlet lelaki. Namun dari aspek tahap keagresifan pula, dapatan kajian menunjukkan atlet perempuan lebih cenderung untuk melakukan tindakan agresif berbanding atlet bola baling lelaki. Kesimpulannya, hasil kajian mendapati bahawa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan di antara orientasi matlamat dan keagresifan dalam kalangan atlet bola baling bawah 18. Secara tidak langsung, kajian ini dapat memberi justifikasi kepada atlet dan jurulatih tentang kepentingan orientasi matlamat. Jurulatih juga perlu lebih menumpukan perhatian yang lebih terhadap orientasi tugasan berbanding orientasi ego.

This study used a quasi-experimental design. The instrument consisted of Sport Imagery Ability Measure Questionnaire (SIAM), Belief in Self-Talk Questionnaire (BSQ) and Revised Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2R (CSAI-2R), and archery performance scores were considered as well. A total of 45 participants were randomly distributed into three experimental groups: Imagery (I) (n = 15), Imagery and Self-Talk (IST) (n = 15) and Self-Talk (ST) (n = 15). All groups underwent a six-week intervention of eighteen sessions, three times a week for one hour. Two Way Mixed MANOVA revealed significant differences between the three intervention groups. Imagery and Self-Talk (IST) group had a significant effect on decreasing state anxiety and increasing self-confidence as well as archery performance scores over two-time periods (pre and post-test). Such a result opens the way to the idea that, Imagery and Self-Talk (IST) group showed a better effect than study groups (ST) and (I). Factors that reduce state anxiety, increase self-confidence and archery performance, and explain the acceptance of interventions over one method will produce a more positive effect on participants. Imagery and instructional self-talk intervention can be used as a reference for sports psychology coaches to improve archery performance among athletes.

One hundred and seventy nine matches participated by six players (three men and three women) were analysed. Data collected via video recordings and coded post match using Studiocode® analysis software. The straight and cross court drives were the most frequent strokes used by both genders, with more on the backhand side. The drop shot and straight drives contributed to most winners for the men and women respectively. Most winners were produced by the players when they occupied the middle areas of the court. The areas that resulted most errors were the four corners of the court for the men whilst the women was on their backhand side areas. Objective feedback on the performance prior to a major competition provided some positive results.

This study also examined the relationship between all the variables and their influence on the athletes’ performance. Instruments used in this study were Motives for Sports Participation (MPS), Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), athlete’s preferred and perceived version of the Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS). The whole population of the two Malaysian Sports Schools for the year 2007 (N = 854; SSBJ = 409, SSBP = 445) were recruited for this study. Results of the study showed the motives for participation ranked accordingly, were Pride for the Family, Improving Skill, Health and Physical Fitness, Doing the Country Proud, Yearn for Challenges, Better Future, Eager to Succeed, Emotional Stability and Self Pride. The findings also revealed that the athletes were more inclined toward Task orientation rather than Ego. Coaching styles preferred by the athletes were Training and Instruction, Democratic, Social Support and Positive Feedback. The present coaching styles practiced by the coaches were similar to the styles preferred by the athletes. Autocratic behaviour was the least preferred coaching style and seldom practiced by the coaches themselves. T-test and ANOVA analyses revealed significant differences for participation motives, goal orientation, preferred and present coaching styles based on gender, age and types of sports. Canonical correlation showed relationships existed between participation motives, preferred and present coaching styles. Multiple regression analysis showed that athletes who chose participation motives for Skill Improvement and preferred Positive Feedback coaching style are more likely to become successful athletes. However athletes who chose extrinsic motives such as Doing the Country Proud and Better Future as their main motives will negatively affect their achivements. In conclusion, to improve the commitment and achievement of the young athletes in sports the authorities involved in the development and planning of the sport programme should know in depth on what motivates the athletes and provide training climate that can cultivate the intrinsic motivation within them. Several implications and suggestions were highlighted for future research.

At the same time, fine motor skills also rely on visual acuity which categorized the persons with albinism (PWA) as "different" from normal pigmented individuals. Match-board is one of the instruments invented to analyze fine motor skill. The ability was determined according to grade and scales developed by Masahide Kato (1970). This tester is employed in testing the muscles coordination of the arm specially the ability to hold the arm. Match board test requires a subject to pick pins and insert them in holes within a specified period of time. It is 250 cm x 250 cm x 15 cm in dimension; which is bulky, made of wood and steel, and heavy to carry from place to place.

The study aimed to identify the dexterity efficiency grade for fine motor skills among persons with albinism as compare to normal individuals. The research design was quasi experiment (ex post facto) with a total of 30 people with albinism age 7 to 60 years and 503 normal individual age 12 to 40 years. Data was accumulated through Match-board and Phepple-type Stabilimeter which analyzed fine motor skills ability according to grade and scales (Masahide Kato, 1970). Results showed that fine motor skill of persons with albinism was lower than normal individuals. Comparative study with gender found that persons with albinism from the adult female have similar fine motor skills ability as the normal individuals, but not for the male. Among children, persons with albinism in both genders demonstrated lower fine motor skill than the normal children. An intervention ...

This study seeks to examine the effects of a Malaysian university ROE camp on environmental attitudes. A pre and post test approach with non equivalent control group design was utilized among 176 first year undergraduate students. A modified version of CHEAKS and open ended questionnaire were used to gather data from pre and post-tests. Results from ANCOVA procedures suggested that the camp had positively improved the experimental group's environmental attitudes. Issues of bridging ROE learning outcomes into daily practices are addressed, and a framework for future practice and research is suggested.

Changes in hormonal balance might affect exercise performance, and thus might affect longitudinal adaptations which occur from training, and also with biomechanical changes which increase the likelihood of injury. Twelve well trained elite female athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Thirteen kinematic and kinetic variables were measured via force platform during a counter movement jump exercise. General linear model one way repeated measure (ANOVA) and paired sample t test were used to meet the objective of this study. Three variables namely peak power (p = 0.030), mean power (p = 0.010) and peak velocity (p = 0.016) were significantly differed (p < 0.05) across the three menstrual cycle phases, where a reduction was clearly observed during the menses phase. Based on the results, menses...
