The Effect of Training Methods and Explosion of Limb Muscles on Pencak Silat Kicking Skills

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the best training method between plyometrics, circuit training methods, and continuous training methods, which had more effect on improving the results of Pencak Silat kick skills training. The method used in this study is an experimental method (comparative quantitative) with a 3 x 2 factorial design. The number of samples in this study was 56 students of the Health Sports Education Study Program of STKIP Setia Budhi Rangkasbitung in the Pencak Silat course, with a generalization level of students and athletes who have the same population characteristics and attributes. The summary of the results of the calculation analysis (ANOVA) on the variation of the average row, the significance level = 0.05 obtained Fo = 15.49 and Ft(1.54) = 4.02, thus Fo> Ft so that Ho is rejected. In the column mean variation, the significant level value = 0.05 obtained Fo = 8.97 and Ft(2.54) = 3.17, thus Fo > Ft so that Ho is rejected. In the interaction variation, the significant level value = 0.05 obtained Fo = 57.39 and Ft(2.54) = 3.17, thus Fo> Ft so that Ho is rejected. It was concluded that (1) overall there was a significant difference in the effect of training methods and high and low leg muscle explosive power on pencak silat kick skills. (2) there are differences in the average results for the three training methods. (3) there is an interaction between the explosive power of the leg muscles and the training method on the results of pencak silat kick skills.

Plyometric Stair Jump and Reaction Box Jump to Improve the Frequency of Straight-forward Kicks in Pencak Silat Athletes

“…Other research also reported that plyometric training significantly affects the momtong dollyo Chagi Kick of junior taekwondo athletes [21]. There was also an improvement in kicking performance in Pencak silat after conducting plyometric training [13]. It means that with the quality of leg muscle power, the kicking performance in martial art sports, including Pencak silat, will positively and strongly correlate.…”

“…There is much previous research concerning Pencak silat, such as training methods to improve the capacity of cardiovascular endurance of the Pencak silat athlete [9], to improve core strength muscle, and dynamic balance [10]. Besides that, there is also research related to the leg muscle power effect on cycle kick performance [11], the leg muscle power effect on straight kick skill [12], and the training method that has a significant effect on Pencak silat kicking skill [13].…”

Plyometric training and circuit training in terms of eye-hand coordination: how it affects the explosive power of sickle attacks?

“…A previous study in the Province of Banten in Indonesia, in a match the foot attack technique (sickle kick) was the most dominant and was often used to get points (Sudirman et al, 2022). This statement was also reinforced by Amrullah in his research showing that 90% of points were obtained through kick attacks (Amrullah, Dlis, & Hernawan, 2020).…”

“…Pencak Silat is a contemporary umbrella term used in Indonesia, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries to refer to hundreds of traditional and modern martial arts practiced either by single players or duels, with or without background music (Hadiana, 2022). Pencak means Search, Silat means Gathering, when the two meanings of the word are combined, Pencak Silat means Searching for Gathering (Sudirman et al, 2022). Then it expanded in all directions.…”

“…In addition, Pencak Silat also symbolizes the sport of the ancestral assets of the Indonesian nation which has become an icon of unity in oneness in the reflection of the Indonesian nation (Ihsan et al, 2022). Lately, the sport of Pencak Silat has increasingly shown positive developments (Sudirman et al, 2022). This is evidenced by the increasing number of regional, national and international Pencak Silat competitions held.…”
