Abstract
Background. The effect of chocolate drinks on pulse recovery in Medan State University Sparta table tennis athletes was examined in this study. One of the common challenges faced by table tennis athletes during intense training or competition is the inability to fully recover from fatigue between training sessions or consecutive matches. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of consuming chocolate drinks on pulse recovery in table tennis athletes.
Materials and methods. The study employed an experimental quantitative design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, where a single sample group underwent two assessments: before and after the intervention. The study population consisted of Sparta table tennis athletes from Medan State University. The Harvard Step Test method was used, followed by manual pulse rate measurement. Data analysis involved descriptive techniques, including the normality test and paired t-test.
Results. The study results showed a p-value of 0.00 (p < 0.05), with a mean difference of 18.66 between the pre-test and post-test groups. This indicates a statistically significant difference before and after the intervention. The findings suggest that consuming chocolate drinks has a significant effect on VO2max recovery in Sparta table tennis athletes at Medan State University.
Conclusion. The consumption of chocolate drinks significantly improves pulse recovery and VO2max levels in table tennis athletes, facilitating better recovery between training sessions and matches.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG01A8K4P8

Abstract
The provision of good treatment can increase various positive things for the growth and development of children with disabilities, one of which is Positive and Negative Reinforcement. This study aims to determine the influence of positive and negative reinforcement on enhancing motivation for basic locomotor movements in children with disabilities. This study uses a pre-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design. The research was conducted at Kendungkandang State Special School with a sample of 20 students. The data collection technique in this study uses tests and measurements. The results of the study showed a significant influence of Positive Reinforcement on the increase in basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities. This result was confirmed by a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Negative reinforcement also had a significant effect on improving basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. Although both had a significant influence on improving basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities, Positive Reinforcement was found to have a stronger effect. This result can be seen from the basic locomotor motion test, where the mean value for Positive Reinforcement was 72.50, while the mean value for Negative Reinforcement was only 63. Therefore, this research concludes that Positive Reinforcement has a greater influence on enhancing basic locomotor motivation in children with disabilities.

Abstract
Traditional sports games have become an important part of the cultural heritage we inherited from our ancestors. However, with the development of technology and changes in modern lifestyles, traditional sports games have seen a decline in popularity among children. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of traditional sports games in increasing children’s endurance in an innovative way.  This research uses a qualitative descriptive research model that is a literature study that uses various literature reviews in strengthening research analysis. This research began by collecting some literature, then conducted a review and the collected literature was analyzed with a critical Apprasial table of 10 literature. The results showed that traditional sports games were able to provide significant benefits for children’s endurance. Through these games, children develop motor skills, body coordination, and balance. They also learn to cope with challenges, develop social skills, such as cooperation and communication, and gain a sense of pride in their cultural heritage.  In addition, the introduction of traditional sports games adapted to innovative elements, such as the use of technology or the setting of new rules, can increase children’s interest in participating. This allows them to maintain a connection to the traditions of the past while experiencing the joys and challenges presented in a more contemporary context.  This research provides recommendations for educators and parents to promote traditional sports games as an integral part of children’s educational and activity curricula.

Abstract
In post-COVID-19 pandemic conditions, students are not engaging in physical activity both at school and at home, leading to a decline in the quality of students’ physical fitness. The objective of this study is to enhance the physical fitness of students by implementing a well-structured, accurate, consistent, and quantifiable physical exercise program, while also monitoring sports activities undertaken by students. This research employs a pseudo-experimental pre-test post-test design. The study sample consisted of 117 students. The selection technique utilized is purposive sampling. The instrument for assessing physical fitness is the Indonesian Physical Freshness Test (TKJI). The data analysis technique employs paired sample t-tests. The findings reveal a significant effect of the sports activity program on students’ physical fitness, with an average physical fitness score increase of 13% for Junior High School 01, 11% for Junior High School 39, 9% for Junior High School 14, and 5% for Junior High School 24. This is corroborated by t-test results using a paired sample t-test, with a t-value of −3.754 and a significance value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that the implementation of sports activity programs in various junior high schools in the city of Padang significantly improves students’ physical fitness in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era.
