UPAYA MENINGKATKAN KEKUATAN OTOT LENGAN TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN LEMPAR LEMBING PADA BINAAN PASI PIDIE JAYA

Abstract

Athletes trained by Pasi Pidie Jaya showed that some of the athletes were not optimal in terms of arm muscle strength when throwing the javelin, so that the javelin thrown insufficiently could not achieve maximum throwing results. Where the results of some athletes' throws only get a short distance. Even though the athletes had exerted their overall energy, the release of the javelin looked slow. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of arm muscle strength on the javelin throwing ability of athletes under the guidance of Pasi Pidie Jaya. This study uses a quantitative approach. This type of research is correlational. The sample for this research was 6 athletes assisted by Pidie Jaya. Data collection techniques were carried out using pre-test, treatment and post-test. Data analysis uses the average formula and frequency distribution. Based on the results of data processing, it is known that there is an influence of arm muscle strength on the javelin throwing ability of athletes trained by Pasi Pidie Jaya. Where the average pre-test score obtained was 31, classified as good, with a percentage of 83% classified as good, 17% classified as very good. Meanwhile in the post test it rose to 34 which is also classified as good, but with a percentage of 33% which is classified as very good, 67% is good.
