  Many aspects affect sports performance, and nutrition may be one of the most important. The study aimed to examine the phytochemical composition and assess the impact of supplementing Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica (Lam.)) with aerobic exercise on the endurance performance of the Mattu Kenema male football club.

  Eighteen players from the Mattu Kenema football team were chosen based on an experimental research methodology. The selected athletes were divided into three groups at random: the supplement group (SG = 6), the aerobic exercise group (AG = 6), and the supplement with the aerobic exercise group (SAG = 6). Every day, members of the SG group took an Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica (Lam.)) supplement, while AE spent 45–60 minutes exercising aerobically. SAG took both interventions for 12 weeks. Pre-tests and post-tests were conducted on all parameters, such as the 12-minute run test and push-up.

  The phytochemical screening result of Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica (Lam.)) extract showed the presence of various secondary metabolites such as phenol, flavonoid, tannin, glycoside, steroid, and terpenoids. The proximate composition of this extract indicates the higher content of carbohydrates (69%) and the lower fat value (2.1%).

  Based on the study, 12 weeks of Achote (Coccinia abyssinica (Lam.)) consumption combined with aerobic exercise was thus shown to improve players' fitness levels at Mattu Kenema male football club. Based on the findings, Anchote (Coccinia abyssinica (Lam.)) supplement associated with aerobic exercise would enhance endurance performance due to the extract's secondary metabolites such as flavonoid, tannin, and phenol.

  Football prioritizes physical aspects such as speed, agility, strength, flexibility, and muscle endurance. With women's growing interest in football in Indonesia, it is becoming increasingly clear that an excellent physical condition is necessary. Therefore, good physical condition will also impact the risk of injury and, most importantly, performance on the field. Thus, the main aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Dynamic Warm-Up modification for six weeks on several physical performances, such as (running, change of direction speed, and muscle endurance) in female amateur soccer players. This prospective study involved a modified routine dynamic warm-up program intervention, three times a week warming up before the training session with details of the intervention implementation time, namely 18 times, excluding the initial and final tests. At the start, the players demonstrated dexterity and tests of speed, agility, and muscle endurance, and the test was carried out again at the end of the program intervention. The results show that the significance value of the 30 m Sprint test is 0.083 > 0.05, meaning there is no program influence on the speed component. Furthermore, the significance value of the Illinois Agility test is 1,000 > 0.05, meaning the program does not influence the agility component. Then, the significance value of the wall sit test is 0.083 > 0.05, meaning that the program does not influence the agility component. This study concluded that modifying the dynamic warm-up routine could not improve physical performance, namely speed, agility, and muscle endurance in female soccer players.

  Our study conducted research on the motivation of the basketball players of the Debrecen Basketball Academy (U11 - 76 basketball players) and on which factors play and define it, especially the control sites and their goals are related to the assessment of performance development. For this purpose, the target studies were based on such a follow-up procedure, which performs monitoring, and target studies on the development of physical endurance could be detected. Our results show that both the quality of choice (how complex tasks are undertaken with athletes in the study) and the evolution of the control site and the source of motivation are among the factors in developing athletes ’goals. The result showed that many objective measurement tools and test procedures are available to coaches and sport-psychologists to assess and evolve athletes’ peak performance. At the same time, further practical improvements can be made by changing training methods and introducing additional motivating factors.
