Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) program and also Autogenic Relaxation (AGR) on improving mood in high jump beginners. The design in this study is a pretest-posttest control group design, which is a design that has a pretest before being given treatment. The participants used were high jump beginner athletes with an average age of 17-20 years. The total participants were 38 people. Then they are randomized and divided into 2 groups (PMR and AGR). A total of 20 samples were in the PMR group and 18 samples were in the AGR group. The results of the study are based on the calculation of independent samples test. It is known that the value of Sig (2-tailed) is 0.000 <0.05, thus it can be concluded that there is a significant (significant) difference in effectiveness between the use of the PMR method and AGR to improve the mood states of athletes, high jump beginners. The results of the study stated that the significance value (Sig) on Levene's Test for Equality of Variances was 0.530 or >0.05. So, it can be concluded that the variance of the N-Gain data (%) for the PMR and AGR groups is the same (no difference). It was further explained that the value of the independent samples test of significance (Sig) (2-tailed) was 0.000 or <0.05. Thus, there is a significant (significant) effectiveness difference between the use of the PMR and AGR methods to improve the mood states of novice high jump athletes. Further research is recommended to implement PMR and AGR programs with a longer period of time and allow them to be applied to individual sports and team sports to be able to determine the level of effectiveness.
Highlights
Mood is a condition in which a good or bad mood is influenced by the interaction between individuals, so that it can make the individual happy, afraid, anxious, happy, even tired and can even result in prolonged stress and depression [1]
A total of 20 samples were in the Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) group and 18 samples were in the Autogenic Relaxation (AGR) group
The questionnaires were administered to the same group, but participants were separated from each other (PMR and AGR) to avoid interaction and possible influence on each other [19]
Summary
Mood is a condition in which a good or bad mood is influenced by the interaction between individuals, so that it can make the individual happy, afraid, anxious, happy, even tired and can even result in prolonged stress and depression [1]. PMR is a relaxation therapy using tightening and relaxing movements of the muscles in certain body parts given to athletes with physical disorders due to illness, or functionally in the form of decreased daily activities and insomnia [20]. Sleep is one of the PMR programs that is seen as very important for recovery for athletes in the game, and muscle relaxation This is a relaxation strategy to compensate for the psychological (cognitive) and physical (somatic) stressors experienced by athletes. Recovery is defined as the rebuilding of psychological and physiological resources to enable future use [23] These different performance contexts involve different mental and physical stresses in each athlete's training. This form of PMR exercise is believed to affect important organs in the body such as the. The mood of an athlete can last in two periods of time, namely in the short term and in the long term [26]
