The relationship balance of hand grip strength and body balance to archry ability

Abstract

Introduction. Archery is a static sport that requires good physical strength. This physical strength can affect the achievement of an archery athlete. Physical strength includes hand grip strength and body balance. One way to measure grip strength is to use a handgrip dynamometer. Meanwhile, to measure the balance of the body can use the stock body balance test. Then the sample did a test shooting of 36 arrows with a shooting range of 15 meters. Purpose. this study was to determine the relationship between hand grip strength and body balance with the ability to shoot archery at a distance of 15 meters. Methods. This research is a descriptive-analytic study with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted at the Archery Training Center, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. The population sample is 60 people aged 12-13 years consisting of 34 boys and 26 girls. The data obtained was then tested for Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression correlation tests using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) application version 26. Results. The SPSS analysis test showed that there was a significant relationship between grip strength and archery skills at a distance of 15 meters with a significance value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.446. Body balance is also related to archery skills at a distance of 15 meters with a significance value of p = 0.043 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.262. Meanwhile, in the multiple correlation test, the results obtained were p = 0.001 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of 0.480. Conclusion. Based on the results and discussion above, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between hand grip strength, body balance, and archery skills at a distance of 15 meters in junior archery athletes in Sleman Indonesia.

Efficacy of Core Strength Exercises in Enhancing Rebound Jump Performance in Martial Arts Athletes

“…Though not directly related to martial arts, this study's findings are translatable, suggesting that a structured core training regimen could be beneficial for martial arts athletes in improving their standing long jump and rebound jump performance. Prasetyo et al (2023) explored the nuanced relationship between balance, hand grip strength, and archery ability. The study employed balance tests and identified specific exercises like bracing maneuvers, bridges, quadruped bird dogs, and modified curl-ups as effective for improving core muscle strength.…”

Comparative study of athletes with high and low nomophobia toward archery accuracy

“…Supported by the statement from [10] that claims that the use of digitalbased tests increases the possibility of cheating students because they are much easier to access search engines to find answers to test problems. Archery was chosen because the neurological processes that occur in the brain when playing games and when doing archery have the same process [13] This aligns with research by [14] stating that the process occurs when children succeed in achieving their target or mission in a game and when they hit the desired target during archery because of the similarity of these neurological processes -supported by [4]'s research, which claims that contradictory and constantly changing reports concerning comparative study studies of athletes with high and low nomophobia confuse especially from coaches. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether there was a difference between high and low nomophobia on the accuracy of archery athletes in the Banyumas Regency and prove whether the athletes who tend to play with gadgets affect the results the athlete's score or accuracy.…”
