Effects of Practice Method and Power on Shooting Accuracy Football

Abstract

This research compares the effect of fixed target practice and change target practice on shooting accuracy football. 24 school athletes aged 13-15 years old participating in this study were grouped into 4 groups by using ordinal pairing technique. Each group was trained using fixed target practice (n=12) and change target practice (n=12). Training was conducted 3 times a week in 90 minutes for each meeting. The vertical jump test was applied to measure the power while widiastuti test was adopted to examine the shooting accuracy football. For data analysis purpose, this study applied a twoway ANOVA. Results of this study indicate that fixed target practice has greater influence on shooting accuracy football than does change target practice on shooting accuracy football with 0.004 < 0.05 significance level. Furthermore, athletes with high power level has better shooting accuracy football than those with low power level on 0.003 < 0.05 significance level. The results also indicate significant influence of training method and power on football skills with 0.032 < 0.05 significance level.
