The Effect of Variation of Push-Up Training on Extracurricular Volleyball Servis Skills

Abstract

Extracurricular participants at SMPN 1 Tanah Merah basically haven't really mastered the basic technique of overhand service correctly and well, when they first saw playing they still didn't have good arm strength, so they had difficulty doing the overhand serve, so to improve their skills top service then requires an effective and efficient training method. This study aims to determine the effect of variations of push-up exercises on upper service skills in volleyball extracurricular activities at SMPN 1 Tanah Merah. This research is a quasi-experimental study using the one-group pretest-posttest design method with the top service test instrument. The data analysis technique used was the paired sample t-test, with the results of the t-test and t-table with a significant value of 0.00, t-count 24.80 > t-table 8.93 with a value of 0.00 <0.05. Thus the hypothesis states "There is an effect of variations in push-up exercises on upper service skills in the extracurricular activities of SMPN 1 Tanah Merah".

Exploring the impact of targeted overhand serve practice intervention: An approach to improve volleyball players' overhand serving skills

“…The primary objective of this study is to investigate the potential effectiveness of drill exercises in volleyball for improving the technical skills of athletes. While earlier studies have attempted to analyze exercises designed to enhance the precision of overhand serves Maldini et al, 2023;Hanifa et al, 2018), none have specifically delved into refining this precision through one-handed ball throwing drills and targeted overhand serve exercises, particularly in the context of volleyball. This research aims to bridge this knowledge gap, aspiring to offer novel perspectives and meaningful contributions to the field of sports.…”
