Killing or spiking is one of the tactical moves in Sepak Takraw that can help to decide the outcome of a match. This study aimed to explore the relationship between various elements of Sepak Takraw, including spiking technique, point succession, spiking zone, and point area. In this study, the researchers also sought to determine whether the variables, zone of spiking and point succession are related to the point area. The sample consisted of 19 matches from the 2021 STL Champions Cup, with 315 spiking attempts recorded. The data were collected through notational analysis and analyzed using statistical methods of Crosstabs and Chi-Square tests (with a significance level of p < 0.05), through SPSS version 25. The findings showed no significant connection between the spiking technique and the point succession (p = 0.831), or between the spiking technique and the spiking zone (p = 0.730) and between the area of point and the point succession (p = 0.253). However, there was a significant correlation between the spiking technique and the point area (p = 0.001), as well as between the point area and the spiking zone (p = 0.016). These results indicate that proper spiking technique can significantly impact the outcome of Sepak Takraw match and further research is needed to investigate the role of other tactical elements, such as serving, blocking, and rally play.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
