A total of 14 studies involving athletes or physically active individuals met the inclusion criteria. Functional outcomes were measured using various instruments, primarily an isokinetic dynamometer for muscle strength and a goniometer for ROM measurement. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale. Due to substantial heterogeneity in study design, measurement instruments, intervention protocols, and reporting formats, a quantitative meta-analysis was not performed, and the data were synthesized using a qualitative narrative approach<span lang="EN-US">.</span></p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">Most studies (approximately 70–80%) reported an increase in hamstring muscle strength after the FIFA 11+ intervention, particularly in concentric and eccentric isokinetic measurements. Improvements in ROM and functional outcomes of the knee and hip were also reported, although results varied between studies. Evidence related to knee extension and hip rotation shows lower consistency compared to hamstring strength.</span></p> </div> <div><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:</span></strong></div> <div><span lang="EN-US"> The FIFA 11+ program shows potential functional benefits beyond injury prevention, particularly in improving hamstring muscle strength and several aspects of joint mobility.</span></div> Yulingga Nanda Hanief Italo Sannicandro Raja Mohammed Firhad Raja Azidin Copyright (c) 2025 Yulingga Nanda Hanief, Italo Sannicandro, Raja Mohammed Firhad Raja Azidin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-01-05 2026-01-05 1 2 122 138 10.56003/sei.v1i2.670 https://journal.rezkimedia.or.id/sei/article/view/641 <div> <p><strong>Background:</strong> The changes to the 2022/2023 Pencak Silat competition rules established by PESILAT are aimed at international standardization, but these changes have the potential to affect patterns and injury risks for athletes in competition categories involving intense physical contact.</p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">This study aims to describe the types, frequency, and body parts injured, as well as athletes' perceptions of the impact of the implementation of the new 2023 regulations on injuries among 17-35-year-old competitive Pencak Silat athletes in Malang Regency.</span></p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 30 competitive Pencak Silat athletes (aged 17–35 years) selected using purposive sampling.

The body parts most frequently injured were the lower extremities (feet and ankles, 20.7%), followed by the hands (14.1%). The most dominant factors causing injury were lack of warm-up (27.5%) and collision/physical contact (26.4%). A total of 64% of athletes (n = 19) stated that the implementation of the new 2023 regulations had a significant effect on the occurrence of injuries. Severe injuries such as fractures, ACL, and MCL were only found in male athletes with a low percentage, while minor injuries (bruises and sprains) were more commonly reported in female athletes.</span></p> </div> <div><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:</span></strong></div> <div><span lang="EN-US"> Soft tissue injuries, particularly sprains and bruises, are the most common types of injuries experienced by competitive Pencak Silat athletes, with injuries predominantly occurring in the lower extremities.</span></div> Muhammad Miqdam Afis Copyright (c) 2025 Muhammad Miqdam Afis https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-01-05 2026-01-05 1 2 80 89 10.56003/sei.v1i2.641 https://journal.rezkimedia.or.id/sei/article/view/645 <div> <p><strong>Background:</strong> Physical condition is a fundamental factor that affects swimmers' performance in developing techniques, tactics, and competition strategies, especially for swimmers specializing in different distances, such as sprinters and long-distance swimmers.</p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">This study aims to analyze the dominant physical profiles of female sprinters and long-distance swimmers, providing evaluation material for coaches to develop more targeted training programs.</span></p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> The study employed a quantitative descriptive design, utilizing a survey and test approach. The research subjects consisted of 20 female swimmers from the Petrokimia Gresik Club who were selected purposively, including 10 sprinters and 10 long-distance swimmers. Data collection was conducted in 2024 through push-up tests (measuring arm muscle strength), sit-ups (assessing abdominal muscle strength), vertical jump (evaluating leg muscle explosive power), and multistage fitness tests (testing aerobic endurance). Raw scores were converted into t-scores and then categorized using the Norm Reference Scale (NRS). Data analysis was performed descriptively using means, standard deviations, and percentages.

However, empirical evidence on the implementation of head injury prevention programs at the training academy level is still limited.</p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">This study aims to explore strategies and the practical implementation of head injury prevention at the HAN Boxing Academy, Malang.</span></p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> A qualitative case study design was used with purposive sampling. Four participants (one coach and three active athletes) were recruited. Data were collected through document review, direct observation, and semi-structured interviews, which consisted of 15 guiding questions. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach, which involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. Methodological triangulation was applied to enhance credibility<span lang="EN-US">.</span></p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Results:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">Three main themes emerged: (1) systematic emphasis on basic defensive techniques to minimize head collisions, (2) mandatory and consistent use of head protection during training sessions, and (3) active supervision by coaches combined with a gradual rehabilitation protocol, including competition restrictions for up to six months after a serious head injury. Participants considered head protection effective in reducing the severity of impacts, although the residual risk of head injury was still acknowledged.</span></p> </div> <div><strong><span lang="EN-US">Conclusions:</span></strong></div> <div><span lang="EN-US"> Head injury prevention in academies is implemented through an integrated approach that combines technical skill development, the use of protective equipment, and continuous monitoring. To strengthen its effectiveness, it is recommended that structured injury prevention protocols be implemented and closer collaboration with medical professionals be fostered.</span></div> Padantya Devin Sugito Copyright (c) 2025 Padantya Devin Sugito https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-01-05 2026-01-05 1 2 99 110 10.56003/sei.v1i2.646 https://journal.rezkimedia.or.id/sei/article/view/642 <div> <p><strong>Background:</strong> Physical condition is an important determinant of volleyball skill performance, but few studies have empirically tested the structure of its dominant factors using a confirmatory approach.</p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> <span lang="EN-US">This study aims to identify the dominant physical condition factors that influence the playing skills of Bahana Muda Club volleyball athletes using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).</span></p> </div> <div> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> This study used a quantitative descriptive design.
