Abstract
Pencak silat is a branch of martial arts that really requires good physical condition to be able to achieve maximum performance. One of the most needed physical conditions is speed endurance. However, at this time, there is no instrument to measure speed endurance specifically for the branch of pencak silat. In pencak silat matches, the dominant technique used by fighters to carry out attacks and get value is kicks. Therefore, in the implementation of this designed test, the kick technique is used. The target to be achieved in this study is the birth of a standard instrument to measure the speed endurance of pencak silat athletes. This research is a development research that aims to develop a special speed endurance instrument for athletes in pencak silat. The stages of this study began with an analysis of the needs of the physical condition in pencak silat. After that, the next stage is carried out, namely the making of speed endurance instrument designs for pencak silat athletes. Before conducting field trials, expert validation is first carried out by involving experts in the field of pencak silat, namely pencak silat trainers, sports test and measurement experts, and sports physiology experts. Field trials were carried out by direct testing of the research sample involving 100 male and 60 female pencak silat athletes. This trial is to determine the validity and reliability of field data and to determine test norms. The data analysis technique was done by using the percentage technique. The results showed that: the instrument of speed endurance developed is suitable for use as a measure of the speed endurance of pencak silat athletes with a validity of 0.95 and a reliability of 0.97.
Highlights
Pencak Silat is a sport that has complex movements and physical conditions. This is because a pencak silat athlete is required to have speed, endurance, strength and flexibility which are basic physical components, but athletes must have a higher level of basic physical conditions including a combination of speed and strength, endurance, and speed [1],[2]
Based on the results of the instrument design as well as the validation of the pencak silat coach, sports test and measurement expert, and sports physiologist, the expert validation results showed a value of 86.07% which is classified as very feasible and valid to measure the speed endurance of pencak silat athletes
A field test was carried out which showed that the speed endurance instrument for pencak silat athletes was very valid and reliable as a measuring tool for the speed endurance of pencak silat athletes with a validity level with a value of r = 0.955 and reliability with a value of r =
Summary
Pencak Silat is a sport that has complex movements and physical conditions. One of the elements of the physical condition that is needed in pencak silat is speed endurance. One type of attack that athletes often use in pencak silat matches is kicks. In every pencak silat match, it can be said that all fighters use this technique with its various variations to seek victory [3],[4],[5]. This attack must be carried out quickly so that it is difficult for the opponent to anticipate and this speed must be maintained at each round during the match.
