Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to: (1) examine how medicine ball and resistance band exercises affected the throw-in distance of young soccer players, particularly SSB Gama FC students; (2) examine how high and low arm muscle strength affected the throw-in distance; and (3) examine how medicine ball and resistance band exercises interacted with throw-in performance.
Methods. Data from 28 soccer players selected through purposive sampling were analyzed using a 2×2 factorial design. Arm muscle strength was measured using a hand dynamometer, and throw-in distance was measured using a meter. Data were analyzed at a significance level of 0.05 using two-way ANOVA.
Results. The results showed a significant improvement in throw-in distance (p < 0.05) in both the medicine ball and resistance band exercise groups. In the medicine ball group, throw-in distance improved from a pretest mean of 6.66 meters to a posttest mean of 8.65 meters, indicating a gain of 1.99 meters. In the resistance band group, the improvement was from 6.38 meters to 8.87 meters, a gain of 2.49 meters. These results suggest that resistance band training was more effective than medicine ball training in improving throw-in distance. However, there was no significant difference between players with high and low arm muscle strength (p > 0.05). An interaction effect between exercise type and arm strength was observed (p < 0.05), indicating that the impact of each exercise may vary depending on the player’s muscle strength.
Conclusion. Resistance band exercises have a greater positive effect on throw-in performance than medicine ball exercises in youth soccer players, and the interaction with arm muscle strength should be considered in training programs.

Abstract:
Background: In the 21st century, children often prefer modern video games, which can lead to decreased physical activity and increased screen time. This lack of physical activity can result in poor motor skills and social skills among children. Motor and social skills are crucial for the development and growth of primary school children. Locomotor gross motor skills focus on walking, running, jumping, and skipping, which help children improve movement during physical activities. Social skills help children communicate with peers, understand friends, establish cooperation, and build healthy interpersonal relationships. It is believed that traditional games can help children aged 10‑12 improve their motor and social skills. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the impact of traditional team sports on optimizing locomotor gross motor skills and social skills in children aged 10‑12 years. Design/methodology/approach: This research study utilized a quasi‑experimental research method. The traditional games used in the study were gobak sodor and bakiak team. The study focused on children aged 10‑12 years. The instruments used for assessment were the Test of Gross Motor Development‑2 (TGMD‑II) for evaluating gross motor ability and a social skills questionnaire. The data were analyzed using a t‑test at a 5% significance level. Results and Conclusion: The analysis results of the first few t‑tests showed that the t‑count value (16.102) was greater than the t‑table value (2.093), and the p‑value (0.000) was less than 0.05. This indicates that there is an effect of traditional team games on the gross motor development of children aged 10‑12 years. The results of the second t‑test analysis also indicated that the t‑count value (14.912) was greater than the t‑table value (2.093), suggesting an effect of traditional team games on both gross motor abilities and social skills of children in the same age group. In the third t‑test analysis, the t‑count value was greater than the t‑table value, indicating differences between the experimental group and the control group. This suggests an effect of traditional team games on the development of gross motor skills and social abilities of children aged 10‑12 years.

Abstract
High schools and universities play vital roles as educational hubs for health promotion, contributing to pandemic preparedness and fostering informed and resilient communities. This study aims to comprehensively investigate, drawing on existing literature, health promotion strategies, and activities within the context of high school and college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study was a systematic review that conforms to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyzes [PRISMA] on PubMed, Science Direct, and Semantic Scholar databases [2018-2023]. From an initial 22,633 articles, 5 were selected based on inclusion/exclusion criteria and title/abstract matching. The selected studies informed distinct health promotion patterns. High school students rely on peers and social media, exhibiting varied preventive measures, while university students prioritize digital health literacy through extensive search engine and social media use. The included studies highlight the integration of social media into online education, identifying gaps in COVID-19 knowledge and emphasizing the influential role of social media in shaping behaviors and reinforcing public health defenses. The studies collectively suggest adopting social media strategies for health promotion in high schools and universities. In conclusion, this systematic review provides concise insights into health promotion efforts among high school and university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tailored strategies for each educational level, integrating credible social media into education, emerge as key recommendations to enhance health promotion activities and interventions.
