<div><p>Silat (a.k.a. <em>gayung</em>) tempur is a combat sports competition introduced to provide early preparation for the beginners to master the basic techniques of silat before they shift to silat olahraga (advanced level competition). The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of actions and outcome during action time between winners and losers in national silat tempur competition. The notational analysis focused on five different types of action categories in silat tempur; kick, punch, topple, block and catch. The action categories were divided into three outcomes; Hit Target (HT), Hit Elsewhere (HE) and Missing Opponent (MO). The researchers observed 19 female silat matches (each with three round games) aged 14 to 17-year-old. The observations were made through series of videos. Matched Paired <em>t</em>-test was used to analyse each action performances and outcome between winners and losers. Results showed that the winners performed more actions than the losers (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). The winners frequently used more kicks to attack their opponents (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). However, there were similar performance between winners and losers in punch, block, topple and catch categories (all actions, <em>p</em> &gt; 0.05). The winners performed more successful actions (HT) than the losers (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05), particularly on kicks and blocks (both actions, <em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). The losers significantly missed (MO) more catch actions than the winners (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05). The author concluded that kicks were the main actions that both exponents used during silat matches, with the winners performing more successful actions than the losers.</p></div>

<div><p><em>Aim: </em>The purpose of this study was to determine the details of activity that occurred during the match time between winners and losers among female exponents on Southeast Asian (SEA) Games 2017 silat olahraga competition. <em>Methodology:</em> Twenty female exponents from ten matches (<em>n</em> = 10) of silat olahraga on SEA Games 2017 were selected in this study. The notational analysis focused on fourteen different types of motion categories in silat olahraga: kick, punch, sweep, topple, block, catch, evade/dodge, block and kick, block and punch, block and sweep, fake kick, fake punch, self-release and others. The motion categories were divided into three outcomes, which were Hit Target (HT), Hit Elsewhere (HE) and Missing Opponent (MO). Matched paired <em>t</em>-tests were used to compare differences between winners and losers. <em>Results: </em>There were no significant differences in the activity profiles between winners and losers except for evade/dodge (<em>p</em> = 0.03), but there were significant differences in action outcomes in HT (<em>p</em> = 0.000) and MO (<em>p</em> = 0.025). This study showed that during the match the 51% of the actions were kicks, punches and sweeps. The results also showed that female exponents frequently used lower limbs to attack the opponents. <em>Conclusion: </em>The losers performed less HT actions and higher MO actions compared to the winners. The winners performed more successful actions than the losers during silat matches.</p></div>
