Hubungan Kelentukan Terhadap Akurasi Shooting di SSb Putra Garuda Kecamatan Ulujami Tahun 2023

Abstract

In the realm of soccer, mastering fundamental techniques such as dribbling, passing, controlling, heading, and shooting is imperative for players. Leg flexibility, a key physical attribute, significantly influences shooting, impacting both the direction and target of the ball in relation to the goal. Shooting accuracy, the capacity to precisely guide the ball toward the intended target based on the given circumstances, is a crucial skill in soccer. This study seeks to assess the role of leg flexibility in shaping shooting accuracy among young players at SSB Putra Garuda in Ulujami District. Employing a correlational descriptive research design, the study involves a population of 20, 15-year-old SSB Putra Garuda players, using a total sampling method. Leg flexibility is evaluated through the sit and reach test as well as the back and leg test, and data analysis comprises assessments for normality, linearity, and hypothesis testing. The findings reveal a moderate correlation between leg flexibility and shooting accuracy, with regression analysis demonstrating a significant influence, contributing to 24.7% of the shooting accuracy's variance. Consequently, this study concludes that leg flexibility significantly contributes to shooting accuracy in the context of soccer at SSB Putra Garuda, Ulujami District.
