Abstract

The research problem proposed by the author is to reveal the effect of plyometric single-leg stride jump and stride jump crossover training on the results of straight kicks. This is based on the problem that straight kicks require power because the movement requires strong and fast or explosive power. This research uses using experimental method. The sample used in this research was FPOK UPI students who took part in UKM pencak silat as many as 40 people using random sampling techniques. The sample was divided into two training groups by ranking. The results of data analysis showed that the t-count was 7.95, which was greater than the t-table of 1.684, so Ho was rejected, meaning that there was a significant difference in the influence of the two forms of exercise. The results showed that single-leg stride jumps had a more significant influence compared to crossover stride jump training on improving straight kick results. The implications of the research results show that to increase the success of a straight kick as a strong and fast movement, you must have power abilities as part of your physical abilities. Single-leg stride jump training can be used as an alternative to increasing straight kick.
