Abstract
Introduction: Physical condition is one of the most important factors in supporting archery. the better the physical condition, the better the concentration to support accuracy in archery. Concentration in archery is the ability to target targets accurately. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of circuit training on improving physical fitness and archery accuracy in novice athletes. Materials and Methods: Participants were 20 novice athletes, aged 10 to 12 years. Quasi-experimental research design, using two group pretest-posttest design. The method of collecting data on physical fitness uses the Indonesian physical fitness test (IPFT) aged 10-12 years and the accuracy test is by shooting arrows at the target. Data analysis used paired sample t-test, to determine differences in variable groups of men and women. The analysis results showed no difference if the significant value was less than 0.05 (p<0.05). Before analyzing the data, a prerequisite test was carried out which included the Shapiro Wilk normality test and the variate homogeneity test using the Levene's test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant increase in physical fitness in the male and female groups. Therefore, there was a significant improvement in the accuracy of archery shots in the male and female groups. The study concluded that circuit training is effective for improving physical fitness and archery accuracy in novice athletes.
Highlights
Physical condition is one of the most important factors in supporting archery. the better the physical condition, the better the concentration to support accuracy in archery
The results of physical fitness tests (IPFT) during the pre-test included that the level of physical fitness; (1) 40% enough categories, (2) 45% less categories, (3) 15 very less categories, can be seen in the following Table 2
The results of physical fitness tests (IPFT) during the posttest included that the level of physical fitness, 15% very good categories, 55% good categories, 30% enough categories, can be seen in the following Table 3
Summary
Physical condition is one of the most important factors in supporting archery. the better the physical condition, the better the concentration to support accuracy in archery. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of circuit training on improving physical fitness and archery accuracy in novice athletes. The study concluded that circuit training is effective for improving physical fitness and archery accuracy in novice athletes. Concentration in archery is the ability to aim accurately at targets This integration is very important in archery. A very common way to assess the state of physical ability is to determine based on diagnostic tests [2,3] Based on this problem, it is clear that physical condition especially for beginner athletes is very important. According researchers the factors that influence the style or accuracy of aiming are physical conditions, concentration, and technique [4,5]. Technical advances around bows and arrows and the availability of new materials have increased the accuracy of aiming and being consistent in archery [6,7]
