Comparison of action performances and outcome between winners and losers in young female silat tempur matches

Abstract

<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> < 0.05). The winners frequently used more kicks to attack their opponents (<em>p</em> < 0.05). However, there were similar performance between winners and losers in punch, block, topple and catch categories (all actions, <em>p</em> > 0.05). The winners performed more successful actions (HT) than the losers (<em>p</em> < 0.05), particularly on kicks and blocks (both actions, <em>p</em> < 0.05). The losers significantly missed (MO) more catch actions than the winners (<em>p</em> < 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>

Sport Performance Analysis with a Focus on Racket Sports: A Review

“…Performance analysis objectives can be captured in a variety of ways and for a variety of sports. For example, we can mention the following: identification of potential by: Arede et al [2], Woods et al [3], Waldron and Worsfold [4], Woods et al [5,6], Lago-Fuentes et al [7], specific performance of a young player by Saphie et al [8], Brito et al [9,10], Karakulak [11], Gimenez-Egido et al [12], Analysis of technical skills (movement patterns, for example) by: Santos et al [13], Nassis [14], Mangan et al [15], Saavedra et al [16], Challis et al [17], Hökelmann and Richter [18]. Player's performance analysis during the game (match analysis that includes stroke position, ball movement, match sequence, and player's substitutions) is covered in detail in: Pereira et al [19], Michael et al [20], Caballero et al [21], Slawson et al [22], Belli et al [23], Gal et al [24].…”
