Abstract: The global outbreak of Covid-19 has spread in Malaysia, social and physical distancing \nmeasures, lockdowns of businesses, schools and overall social life have disrupted many \nregular aspects of life, including sport and physical activity. Many individuals and \nathletes are not able to actively participate in their regular individual or group sporting \nactivities. Under such conditions, it leads less physically active and hence resulting in \nweight gain and loss of physical fitness. Recently, skipping rope exercise is getting \npopular and has been shown to elicited positive effect on health-related fitness and \nspecific-related fitness across multiple populations (e.g., athletes, adolescents and \noverweight). However, the perceptual responses (e.g., affective responses, enjoyment, \nand perceived exertion) of supervised and unsupervised skipping rope training is not well \ndocumented. Hence, the purpose of this study is to determine the effects of supervised vs \nunsupervised skipping rope training on perceptual responses among recreational \nbadminton players. A total of twenty recreational badminton player with more than oneyear \nbadminton experienced (n=20, 5 males and 15 females, age = 22.80 ± 0.89 years) \nwere recruited in this randomised and parallel study. Participants were randomly assigned \ninto two groups, namely supervised group (SG) and unsupervised group (UG). This \ntraining program was carried out three times per week for four weeks (a total 12 sessions). \nDuring each exercise session, participants performed warming up for five minutes, \nfollowed by 60-75 jump repetitions separated by one minute recovery interval and ended \nwith cooling down for five minutes. All the dependent variables including heart rate (HR), \nexercise enjoyment scale (EES), feeling scale (FS), felt arousal scale (FAS) and rate of \nperceived exertion (RPE) were recorded before, during and after each session. Data were \nanalysed using a mixed model of variance (ANOVA) was performed to examine \ndifferences in all dependent variables between groups over training session (sessions \n3,6,9, and 12). The results showed that there were significant increases in FS (p = 0.03) \nand RPE (p = 0.027) between supervised and unsupervised group following four weeks \nof skipping rope training. Affective responses measured by FS were greater during SG \ncompared to UG across all sessions meanwhile perceived exertion responses measured \nby RPE were higher in UG compared to SG across all sessions. However, it showed no \nsignificant changes in HR (p = 0.77), FAS (p = 0.69) and EES (p = 0.74). Thus, in \nconclusion, this study showed that SG elicited better feeling than UG in every session \nwhile UG elicited greater RPE than SG in every session. Further studies are needed for \nin depth understanding of the perceptual responses between supervised and unsupervised \nintervention method.
