Sports 4.0 Harm or benefit?

WHICH CHOICE WOULD YOU MAKE? PAGE 09

The application of sports technology and IR 4.0 is undeniably beneficial,
especially in judging and analyzing performance. The data obtained is
high validity and reliability. For example, replays in rugby and tennis will
help referees make fair and accurate decisions. It is excellent for
achieving satisfaction for both parties and the audience. In addition, it
also helps coaches analyze opponents' weaknesses through video analysis
that uses sports technology applications.

UNDERSTANDING SPORTS PSYCHOLOGY

Dr NurwinaInterview Session with Akmal Anuar 19

Associate Research Fellow of SITC, iHumEn, and Senior
Lecturer of SBEHS, FE, UTM

"I have loved sports and physical activities
since I was young, and I started wondering how
and why people did what they did during my
teenage years. It was my turning point, and I
began to read about human psychology and
never look back."

revealed that cognitive skills enhanced young people's

resilience and well-being and engagement in

education, employment, and training (EET)

opportunities.

My research focuses on developing mental skills

training to benefit others, especially those who

struggle mentally and emotionally. I have been working

on cognitive skills training for mental health. Recently, I

published a book titled; Self-Healing; Healed from

Depression in 1 Night. My works have always been

inspired by the success of a research group that has

introduced mental skills training for life (MST4Life™),

addressing social inequalities by improving the

likelihood of life qualities among the vulnerable

population (homeless youth) for years.

What inspired you to be a researcher and

motivator?

I have loved sports and physical activities since I was

young, and I started wondering how and why people

did what they did during my teenage years. It was my

turning point, and I began to read about human

psychology and never look back. Through time, I

learned about psychology in sports, where things are
combined. I never stop learning and continuingly learn

new things every day. If I doubt something, I will do my

little research, and it saves me from being a blind

follower and always prepared for anything.

From life experience, I learned that knowledge is

powerful if it's shared. I started to believe an educator

is a profession that creates other jobs. A good

educator comes with good motivation; that is how I

was inspired to be who I am today. I may not be rich,

but I can multiply things with knowledge. The human

brain works fantastic. If I reveal to 100 students about

one thing, I will get 100 different ideas back, and they

will spread it. Knowledge is contagious. Isn't it

powerful?

with the Ministry of Health Malaysia

(MOH), has successfully organized the

Professional Course on Good Clinical

Practice (GCP) 2022 on 1 - 3 March 2022

at UTM, Skudai, Johor.

The GCP 2022 has received participants

from UTM, Universiti Tun Hussein Onn

Malaysia (UTHM), and Johor Bahru District

Health Office (PKD JB). Of the total 27

participants, 26 were to sit for the GCP

examination, while one participant was

present to review lectures related to GCP.

GCP certification is an international

22 ethical, scientific, and practical standard


for all clinical research. Researchers

involved in clinical research are trained or

appropriately experienced to perform the

specific tasks they are being asked to

undertake. The knowledge gained from

this professional course could guide

AND HEALTH AUDIT Raising Awareness

on Workplace

Safety

Conducting safety and health audits in the workplace or a construction site can identify and

help to eliminate workplace hazards. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH)

was created to encourage safer workplace conditions. The Institute of Human Centered

Engineering (iHumEn), one of the well-known research institutes in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

(UTM), has performed a physical audit led by Assoc Prof Dr Mohamad Wijayanuddin Ali with a

team of Occupational Safety and Health auditors.

iHumEn | Issue 06 Physical audits of the OSHE management are

conducted to determine whether iHumEn

complies with the OSHE legal requirements or

standards and to review and evaluate the

performance and effectiveness of OSHE. It is

essential to identify problems, risks, and non-

compliance and monitor the implementation of

non-compliance reports that have been issued.

Five auditors visited iHumEn’s office and several

Research Centers for evaluation and evidence-

gathering sessions. The Occupational Safety

and Health Audit evaluation session lasted from

2:00 to 5:00 pm.

iHumEn also conducted an internal assessment

that was held on 18 April 2022. The internal

auditors consisted of fellows, fellow assistants,


36

and iHumEn staff. With the internal evaluation,

it is hoped that the infrastructure and building

and the workspace can be further improved to

provide optimal comfort to the UTM community,

thus ensuring the workspace is always safe,

healthy, and conducive to staff, students and

visitors.
