UMS Ungguli Penyelidikan Sains Sukan Tahun Lepas

KOTA KINABALU, 21 Jan (Bernama) -- Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) mengungguli penyelidikan sains sukan tahun lepas apabila empat penyelidik sains sukan UMS menerima geran penyelidikan yang berjaya melahirkan atlet mampu memperoleh kemenangan dalam sesuatu kejohanan.

Menurut kenyataan UMS, pasukan Penyelidikan Sains Sukan Berprestasi Tinggi diketuai Prof Madya Dr Razali Abdullah mendapat geran komuniti RM50,000 daripada CIMB Foundation pada 2011 dan RM30,000 pada tahun lepas untuk melaksanakan program 'Ranau - Run for Life' dengan modul dan latihan diberikan kepada jurulatih sekolah larian jarak sederhana di daerah Ranau.

Penyelidikan tersebut berjaya melahirkan beberapa atlet yang memperoleh pingat di peringkat Majlis Sukan Sekolah Malaysia (MSSM) dan Sukan Malaysia (Sukma).

Dr Mohamad Razali juga pakar rujuk sains sukan bagi kontinjen Sukma Terengganu yang telah menjuarai Sukma empat kali berturut-turut.

UMS turut dianugerah RM90,000 daripada Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi menerusi Geran Skim Penyelidikan Eksploratori (ERGS) pada Julai lepas bagi menjalankan kajian mengenai kesan latihan otot terhadap postur pemanah remaja, diketuai Pathmanathan K. Suppiah yang juga ahli panel kursus sains sukan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan panel program pembangunan olahraga MSN.

Geran Dana Pembudayaan Penyelidikan (RAGS) 2012 dari Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi turut dianugerahkan kepada dua penyelidik sains sukan UMS iaitu Dr Mohamad Nizam Nazarudin, yang mengkaji kesan beg sekolah berat pada sistem otot dan rangka murid sekolah rendah, dan Hasnol Noordin bagi kajian bertajuk 'Model Prestasi Psiko-Biologi Pemain Ragbi Elit Remaja Kebangsaan dengan Pencapaian Pasukan.'

Kedua-dua kajian itu menerima geran masing-masing bernilai RM40,000.

Pasukan penyelidik UMS diberi pengiktirafan pada awal bulan ini apabila dua daripada tiga usul kajian mereka terpilih menerima Geran Skim Penyelidikan Sukan (SRGS) daripada Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi.

Kajian yang berjaya memperoleh dana tersebut ialah mengenai dimensi baharu aerobik dan kajian bertajuk 'Prototaip Instrumen Latihan dan Pengukuran Ketangkasan Reaktif Atlet UMS'.

Kedua-dua kajian tersebut, yang menerima dana berjumlah RM70,000, akan memanfaatkan kontinjen Sukma Sabah jika Sabah ingin menempa nama sebagai juara Sukma.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Host for the 26th SEA Games, Indonesia has chosen the Komodo dragon as mascot for the 2011 Games which will be held in Jakarta and Palembang from Nov 11 to 25. The Indonesia SEA Games Organizing Committee (Inasoc), was qouted by Jakarta Post as saying that a pair of Komodo dragons, a male (Modo) and a female (Modi), were chosen in recognition of the Republic's conservation efforts to protect the dwindling number of the rare lizard.
