The Effect of Berberan Exercise Using Resistance Bands on Sickle Kick Ability

Abstract

This study observes that the ability to perform sickle kicks is still not optimal. With that in mind, this study aims to determine the effect of weight training using black Resistance Bands Tube Sets on the sickle kick ability of Putera Muhammadiyah Pencak Silat Tapak Suci athletes at PGRI University, West Sumatra. This type of research is pre-experiment. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique with a sample of 14 young and adult female athletes from Tapak Suci, PGRI University, West Sumatra. The analysis used is the sample dependent t test. The instruments and data collection techniques used in the research were in the form of a crescent kick speed test. The results showed that there was a significant effect of weight training using resistance bands seen from a) the average ability to kick on the right leg during the pre-test was 20 kicks and after being given treatment the average athlete did a post-test kick 21 times, with that there is an increase of 1 kick, with tcount 5.551 > ttable = 1.771. and b) the athlete's left foot kick increased by an average of 1 kick with an average kick ability in the pre-test of 18 kicks after being given the post-test average treatment of athletes kicking 19 times. This is proven after the "t" test is carried out where t count is 5.508 and > ttable = 1.771. By using the Resistance Band tube set, further researchers can use only one color.
