Abstract

Service is the basic technique in the Sepaktakraw game. Serve is the initial attack to earn points. To be successful in the implementation of this special technique in Sepaktakraw, a good physical condition and good psychological condition are needed. To see the effect of physical conditions and psychological conditions that have a direct and indirect effect on the ability to serve Sepaktakraw, a research on the ability to serve Sepaktakraw was carried out. The research method used is a quantitative method using a Path Analysis approach. The study population was the athletes of West Sumatra Sepaktakraw. The sampling technique was carried out by means of positive sampling and obtained 40 sepaktakraw athletes. The data obtained will be processed using data analysis techniques with the Path Analysis approach. The research instrument used are vertical jump for leg muscle explosive power, stand and rich test for flexibility, self-confidence questioner for self-confidence and service ability test instrument for service skill. The results showed that leg muscle explosive power has a direct effect on serviceability by 10.1%, flexibility has a direct effect on serviceability amounting to 39.81%, and self-confidence has a direct effect on serviceability amounting to 6.81%. Influence of explosive power through self-confidence on the service ability of sepaktakraw athletes is 19.2%. Influence of flexibility on serviceability through confidence in sepaktakraw athletes is 18.1%, and the influence of the variable explosive power, flexibility and self-confidence had an effect on serviceability amounting to 49.6%. However, the remaining 50.4% is influenced by other factors.

Highlights

  • Education and development of community track sports achievements is based on the development of sports for all people that last a lifetime (SKN: 13)

  • The method used in this research is a quantitative method using the path analysis approach, which uses structural equations that look at the causality of the dimensions of the effects of leg muscle explosive power (X1), flexibility (X2), self-confidence (X3). serviceability (Y) to see whether or not the influence of the causal variable on the effect variable is through the use of the Path Analysis method

  • The influence of the variable explosive power, flexibility and self-confidence on the serviceability is 49.6%, while the remaining 50.4% is influenced by other factors

Summary

Introduction

Education and development of community track sports achievements is based on the development of sports for all people that last a lifetime (SKN: 13). Efforts to breed and foster achievement sports are carried out centrally under the coordination of each sports branch organization together with the community. In an effort to improve the quality of motion and increase the athlete's performance in the sepaktakraw game, technique is very closely related to the ability to move, physical condition, tactics and mentality[1][2]. The success or failure of skills development depends on the age, anthropometry and physical abilities of the athletes. Sepaktakraw game is a sport that requires physical and anthropometric conditions including height, because having a high body posture will make it easier to perform special techniques such as doing hard and sharp. In order to make the ball go faster, leg muscle explosive power is needed[5]
