Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship of living habits during the new normal period with (1) body composition and (2) blood oxygen levels after cycling while wearing a mask. This research is a multicenter study between Indonesia and Malaysia, with the data presented here being specifically from the DI Yogyakarta region in Indonesia, involving an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional approach. The study included 71 research subjects. The instruments used to collect data were fitness behavior during the pandemic (exercise frequency and duration), anthropometric and oxygen saturation measurement after cycling during pandemic. Body composition was determined using the BMI formula, involving height and weight. Oxygen saturation during cycling was measured using the Pulse Oximeter FOX-1(N) by Elitech Technovision. The largest percentage of cycling is twice a week (42.25%), followed by three, one, fifth and fourth times a week. The majority of participants cycled for 120 minutes (35.21%), followed by durations of 180 minutes, 60 minutes, 30 minutes, and so on. Oxygen saturation data shows that most subjects have oxygen saturation of 98% (47.8% of respondents), none of them have 100%, but 97% saturation, 96% occupying the second and third distributions. From the primary data obtained in Indonesia, only oxygen saturation and cycling duration showed a highly significant relationship (p = 0.009), while other variables, such as BMI and cycling frequency, did not exhibit a significant correlation. It can be concluded that a significant relationship exists between exercise duration, specifically cycling, and oxygen saturation in Indonesian subjects.

Abstract
Reactive agility is an important ability every table tennis athlete should have. Reactive agility is needed in all sports because it can help the body move backward, sideway steps, and forward quickly during practice or competition. Therefore a particular test instrument is required. Valid and reliable test instruments are needed to determine a table tennis athlete’s level and level of reactive agility. The results of previous studies showed Aiken’s V coefficient value above 0.76, while Cronbach’s Alpha and ICC are 0.875. Based on previous research, it was found that the results of the reactive agility test have content validity with Aiken’s quite good. However, a Test-retest reliability test is needed to strengthen the instrument. This study aims to assess the reliability of the product moment instrument reactive test agility of table tennis. Test-retest is used as a source of research data. The subjects in the study were 20 table tennis athletes aged 13-18 years. The test was carried out 2 times using a table tennis agility reactive instrument on different days. The time recorded during the test is research data. The data is presented in a descriptive statistical format, then analyzed using SPPS and reliability results using Pearson product-moment. The results showed that the product-moment correlation value was 0.956. based on the norms of reliability coefficients, the reactive agility test instruments specifically for table tennis have high scores or excellent categories. So it can be concluded that it can be relied upon to measure the reactive agility ability of junior and senior table tennis athletes.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20AB52

Abstract
Background. Today, athletes are viewed not just as competitors but also as professionals, with athletes being the employees and the clubs acting as employers. Athletes aim not only to achieve sporting successes but also to balance their economic, educational, and social aspects.
Purpose. This study aims to elucidate the factors influencing athlete transfers from the athletes’ perspective.
Design/methodology/approach. This research employed a case study design using a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews. The study utilized purposive sampling to select its participants, involving 109 athletes who had participated in the Regional Sports Week of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) at least twice.
Results and Conclusion. The study identified several factors influencing athlete transfers. These factors fall into three primary categories: internal, external, and other. Athlete transfers should be undertaken for logical reasons and without any undue influence from specific parties, ensuring the process remains flexible. Flexibility, in this context, means the policy should prioritize the welfare and prosperity of the athletes, as well as vertical enhancement of their performance. Horizontally, it should ensure a balanced competition between clubs, upholding the spirit of sportsmanship, while also fostering even fiercer competition.
