Abstract
Mastering freestyle swimming focuses on increasing the swimming speed in order to complete the swimming distance in the shortest time. Because training for freestyle swimming must be carefully programmed and is progressive-based, this study is set to investigate the effect of small game exercises on freestyle swimming speed among the sport science student of Halu Oleo University. This study uses an experimental method with the one group pretest-posttest design. The population of this study consists of 10 students of Halu Oleo University Sport Science Student taken by simple random sampling. The instruments used were equipment for small games and exercises in the techniques of feet, hands, breath and freestyle swimming coordination. Samples of swimming exercises were speed records with a frequency of 3 times a week and carried out for 6 weeks. The results of the normality and homogeneity test data analysis showed a significance value of p > 0.05, which means that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. T-test results showed a significance value of p > 0.05 with a calculated F value of 63.119 and an F table of 5.296, it can be concluded that there was a significant effect of small game training on the freestyle swimming speed for Sport Science Student of Halu Oleo University.
Highlights
Swimming is a water sport in the form of a competitionInternational Journal of Human Movement and Sports Sciences 9(6): 1140-1145, 2021 or game in which the swimmer moves through the water without using any tools by lifting the body to the surface of the water [1], [2], [3], [12], [13]
Pretest data is the speed of 50 meter freestyle swimming students before being given a small game practice
Posttest data is the speed of 50 meter freestyle swimming students after being given a small game practice
Summary
International Journal of Human Movement and Sports Sciences 9(6): 1140-1145, 2021 or game in which the swimmer moves through the water without using any tools by lifting the body to the surface of the water [1], [2], [3], [12], [13]. The fact that swimming provides a new experience, gives a feeling of pleasure, competes in feeling continuous success, and determines the method that is adapted to internal and external conditions [5], [6], [7]. This is reinforced by the literature that swimming can train muscles, work the lungs, train buoyancy and reduce tension on the body [4], [26], [27]. How can efforts be used to increase speed in swimming, especially freestyle the author will experiment to test the small games method in the hope that this method can increase swimming speed, especially freestyle
