Abstract
Background. Mental health issues are a serious threat to adolescents. Physical activity is a solution to the threat of mental health problems, but ignorance of the dosage of physical activity means that the benefits obtained are not maximized and may even worsen mental disorders experienced by adolescents. The right dose of physical activity is important to pay attention to. Although there has been a lot of research on physical activity in mental health management in adolescents, the dosage of physical activity to manage mental disorders in adolescents is still unclear.
Study objectives. The purpose of this study is to provide a perspective on the mechanism and synthesize existing research evidence regarding the dose of physical activity in the management of mental health in adolescents.
Materials and methods. A systematic literature review with PRISMA guidelines was applied in this narrative review study. The identification of the initial data search for this study started from the Google Scholar database using citations from the range of 2015–2025. This was followed by the identification of the abstract and the title of the article. Then screening was carried out by checking all texts to determine eligible articles according to the criteria, in order to select appropriate articles ready to be synthesized.
Results. Sixteen articles were obtained that met the study criteria regarding physical activity to manage basic mental problems, including stress, anxiety, depression, and cognitive problems. The subjects’ age range was 10–24 years. The studies applied interventions and recorded the type, intensity, duration, and frequency of physical activity, and used experimental methods.
Conclusion. The aspect of neuroplasticity is one of the theoretical bases for adolescent mental improvement due to physiological adaptations obtained from external stimuli or doses of physical activity. Moderate to high intensity aerobic and multicomponent physical activity, with a duration of twenty to sixty minutes and a frequency of three times a week for no more than twelve weeks, is likely to be more effective for the management of mental disorders in adolescents.

Muh. Khafid Ansori, Tomoliyus, Rumpis Agus Sudarko, Sumaryanti – Content validity and reliability of reaction speed measures for football goalkeepers –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2025; 25(4); 41-46

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZGA431P5ZO

Abstract
Reaction speed assessment plays a crucial role in the success of football goalkeepers, as it involves athletes’ cognitive performance. However, existing measurement tools often rely on predetermined stimuli and manual time recording using a stopwatch, making the assessments highly predictable and less reliable. This study aimed to validate the content and reliability of a reaction speed measurement tool specifically designed for football goalkeepers.
Seven subject matter experts and twenty elite goalkeepers under the age of twenty participated in the study. Based on the results, content validity and the item-level content validity index (i-cvi) were calculated, yielding an average value of 0.834. The reliability coefficient, measured using the intraclass correlation coefficient (icc), was 0.994 with p < 0.01 and a 95% confidence interval (95% ci).
These findings indicate that the reaction speed measurement tool is both valid and reliable. Furthermore, it has practical applications in talent identification, training outcome monitoring, injury risk assessment, rehabilitation tracking, fatigue evaluation, neurological screening, and cognitive function assessment—especially for football goalkeepers.

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.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF8Sbq

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. Thus, children can develop innovative resilience through activities that honor their ancestral heritage.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG0DF232

 

Abstract
Milk consumption is one of the beverages options for the recovery phase. On the basis of the manufacturing procedure, raw and pasteurized cow’s milk are distinguished, but no one has investigated the effect of milk consumption on the hemoglobin levels of active people; some studies only analyze the effect of milk consumption on fitness and recovery advantages. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the hemoglobin levels of active adolescents who consumed fresh cow’s milk versus pasteurized milk for three consecutive weeks. It is intended that the three-week treatment will have a good effect on hemoglobin levels, hence enhancing physical performance. Methods: Using a quasi-experimental study with a Pretest-Posttest Randomized-Groups Design for three consecutive weeks of milk feeding twice daily per group. Twenty-four university football players were divided into three groups using the approach of purposive sampling: the fresh cow’s milk (SSS) group, the pasteurized milk (SP) group, and the mineral water control group (K). The tool utilized to measure body composition is the Karada Scan Body Fat Omron HBF-356, while the Easy Touch GCHb is used to collect data on hemoglobin. Subjects participated voluntarily and were willing to have blood tested through capillaries before, immediately after, and 30 minutes after exercise. The analysis data uses paired t-test and ANOVA calculations to find differences within and between groups. Results: Hemoglobin immediately after exercise (0) in the post-test (three weeks after treatment) increased significantly (0.020 < 0.05) compared to hemoglobin before exercise (-) in the pre-test (before three weeks of intervention) in all three groups (fresh milk, pasteurized milk, and mineral water). Upon further examination, it was determined that there was a highly significant difference in hemoglobin levels (0.010 < 0.05) between fresh cow’s milk and pasteurized milk immediately after exercise (0) in the post-test (after three weeks of treatment). In contrast, there were no significant differences (p-value > 0.05) for the remaining calculations, both within and between subgroups.Conclusions: After three consecutive weeks of milk consumption, there was no significant variation in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood. To optimize the different elements that can affect the acceleration of the increase in hemoglobin in the blood, it is recommended that further study be conducted to intervene with milk and additional meal intake alongside physical activity.
