The Effect of Training Methods and Explosion of Limb Muscles on Pencak Silat Kicking Skills

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the best training method between plyometrics, circuit training methods, and continuous training methods, which had more effect on improving the results of Pencak Silat kick skills training. The method used in this study is an experimental method (comparative quantitative) with a 3 x 2 factorial design. The number of samples in this study was 56 students of the Health Sports Education Study Program of STKIP Setia Budhi Rangkasbitung in the Pencak Silat course, with a generalization level of students and athletes who have the same population characteristics and attributes. The summary of the results of the calculation analysis (ANOVA) on the variation of the average row, the significance level = 0.05 obtained Fo = 15.49 and Ft(1.54) = 4.02, thus Fo> Ft so that Ho is rejected. In the column mean variation, the significant level value = 0.05 obtained Fo = 8.97 and Ft(2.54) = 3.17, thus Fo > Ft so that Ho is rejected. In the interaction variation, the significant level value = 0.05 obtained Fo = 57.39 and Ft(2.54) = 3.17, thus Fo> Ft so that Ho is rejected. It was concluded that (1) overall there was a significant difference in the effect of training methods and high and low leg muscle explosive power on pencak silat kick skills. (2) there are differences in the average results for the three training methods. (3) there is an interaction between the explosive power of the leg muscles and the training method on the results of pencak silat kick skills.
