This study aims to produce a measuring instrument for arm muscle strength and endurance for “Archery Holding Bow Digitec Test”. It creates a new breakthrough that the “Holding Bow Digitec Test” is a tool for measuring arm muscle strength and endurance with high validity and reliability for archery. This research is a type of research and development (R&D) research that uses the Borg & Gall development model which consists of 10 procedures. The subjects involved in this study amount to 33 subjects consisting of 18 male archers and 15 female archers. Data collection techniques use questionnaires, the delphi method, and measurement tests. Data analysis uses the percentage formula for the questionnaire. The validity test uses content validity which is analyzed using the Aiken's v formula and concurrent validity which is analyzed using product moment correlation. The reliability test used a test-retest approach which is analyzed using product moment correlation. The results of the study are a tool for measuring the strength and endurance of the arm muscles in archery called the “Holding Bow Digitec Test”. The contribution of this research is to present a practical archery tool to measure arm strength and muscle power of adult archery athletes. It is the hope of the researcher that this research is continued with a large range of benefits in terms of subject, place and benefits, not only in one category but the tools developed can be used by categories of children and adolescents.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of aerobic circuit training on muscle resistance, cardiorespiratory endurance, and archery accuracy. The study was conducted using the one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subject of was 11 archery athletes of Selabora FIK UNY (Sports Laboratory School of Faculty of Sport Sciences at the Yogyakarta State University). The data were analyzed using the t-test with a significance level of 5%. The results of the analysis of the athletes’ muscle resistance showed that the t-count value (13.124) was higher than the t-table value (2.28); the results of the analysis of the athletes’ cardiorespiratory endurance showed that the t-count value (3.964) was higher than the t-table value (2.28); and the results of analysis of the archery accuracy showed that the t-count value (7.807) was higher than the t-table value (2.28). Since the t-count was higher than the t-table, the hypothesis was accepted and suggests that there is an effect of aerobic circuit training on muscle resistance, cardiorespiratory endurance, and accuracy among the archery athletes in Selabora FIK UNY. Thus, it can be concluded that aerobic circuit training has an effect on archery athletes’ muscle resistance, cardiorespiratory endurance, and accuracy.

Introduction. Archery is a static sport that requires good physical strength. This physical strength can affect the achievement of an archery athlete. Physical strength includes hand grip strength and body balance. One way to measure grip strength is to use a handgrip dynamometer. Meanwhile, to measure the balance of the body can use the stock body balance test. Then the sample did a test shooting of 36 arrows with a shooting range of 15 meters. Purpose. this study was to determine the relationship between hand grip strength and body balance with the ability to shoot archery at a distance of 15 meters. Methods. This research is a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at the Archery Training Center, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. The population sample is 60 people aged 12-13 years consisting of 34 boys and 26 girls. The data obtained was then tested for Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression correlation tests using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) application version 26. Results. The SPSS analysis test showed that there was a significant relationship between grip strength and archery skills at a distance of 15 meters with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.446. Body balance is also related to archery skills at a distance of 15 meters with a significance value of p = 0.043 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.262. Meanwhile, in the multiple correlation test, the results obtained were p = 0.001 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.480. Conclusion. Based on the results and discussion above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between hand grip strength, body balance, and archery skills at a distance of 15 meters in junior archery athletes in Sleman Indonesia.

This research aimed to show children talent in archery by using the base of anthropometric, physical condition, and archery skill. This is descriptive research, and the data was collected by survey. Populations of this research are elementary school students in Yogyakarta and Central Java. Samples are chosen using purposive sampling technique with some criteria, such as: (1) Students of states and private school, (2) Students are the member of Archery Club and actively practice, (3) Samples are 31 persons, (4) Students are filling terms and condition sheet for joining this research. Data are collected by test and measurement in any aspects, such as (1) Height and Weight, (2) Arm Span, (3) Kinesthetic Perception Test, (4) Sit and Reach, (5) Standing Balance, (6) Wall Sit, (7) Side Learning Test, (8) Hand Dynamometer, (9) Endurance, and (10) Archery Skills. The data analysis uses descriptive statistics (tabulation frequency). The result of this research shows that students’ talent in archery is for: Very Talented (12), Talented (5), Quite Talented (8), and Not Talented (6).
