Abstract
Purpose. This study aimed to examine the effects of contrast training on taekwondo athletes’ strength and power. Contrast training, which combines heavy and low loads in the same training session, was investigated to see if it could improve the taekwondo athletes’ performance. Material and methods. In an experimental study with a pre-test-post-test control group design, 10 taekwondo athletes underwent contrast training for seven weeks. This training served as the independent variable, whereas strength and power were the dependent variables. Following that, the data were evaluated using multiple statistical tests, including Levene’s test for variance homogeneity and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for data normality. The independent samples t-test or ANOVA was also performed to compare the means of the contrast training group and the control group. Results. Athletes were placed into two groups in this experimental study: the treatment group and the control group. According to the findings of this study, contrast training has a substantial influence on boosting taekwondo athletes’ strength and power. When compared to the control group, the contrast training group had higher average strength and power (p < 0.05). The contrast training group had an average post-test strength of 6.868 while the control group had an average post-test strength of 6.766. Conclusions. This study has found that contrast training has a significant positive effect on developing taekwondo athletes’ strength. Taekwondo athletes who received contrast training had higher average strength and power than the control group (p < 0.05). Thus, it can be concluded that contrast training is an effective strategy for enhancing taekwondo athletes’ strength and power.

Streszczenie

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.
