The effect of active and passive recovery of weight training on the volleyball smash performance

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the type of weight training with active and passive recovery treatment on the composition of the improvement of volleyball smash technique. This research is a quasi-experiment, with data analysis using SEM-PLS in the weight training model treatment group with active and passive recovery intervals. The subjects of this research were 120 semester IV students of the 2018/2019 Academic Year in the Health and Recreation Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) UNISMA Bekasi. The measurement results show that the active and passive recovery weight training treatment has a significant effect on the volleyball smash technique skills. The SEM-PLS analysis results show that active recovery weight training improves volleyball smash technique skills (β=0.521, Tcount = 5.602 ≥ Ttable = 2.001, P-Values =0.000 ≤ 0.05). These findings could assist in adjusting strength training for volleyball player performance enhancement in an effort to improve certain technical abilities, and enable coaches to positively detect people who stand out in volleyball smash speed and accuracy.
