Spiritual preparation as a mediator in the relationship between daily activity and football knowledge among indonesian students

Abstract

A lifestyle characterized by imbalance in daily activities can significantly detrimentally affect physical health and cognitive performance. Despite this, students often overlook the importance of maintaining balance, neglecting aspects such as quality sleep, nutrition, and physical activity. However, individuals' daily activities can impact both their spiritual preparedness and knowledge. This research aims to investigate the influence of daily activity on the spiritual preparedness and knowledge about football of Indonesian sports students. Hypothesis testing was conducted utilizing path analysis, involving 204 respondents. Bootstrapping techniques were applied to analyze 500 data points. The findings indicate that daily lifestyle, as measured by daily activity, significantly influences the spiritual preparedness and knowledge of sports students. Notably, spiritual preparedness emerges as a mediator in the relationship between daily activity and knowledge, highlighting its crucial role. The study underscores the importance of fostering healthy lifestyle habits, including spiritual dimensions, among sports students. Recommendations emphasize the need for interventions aimed at enhancing awareness of the interconnectedness between daily activities, spiritual preparedness, and knowledge, thus contributing positively to the well-being of sports students within the collegiate environment.
