Pengaruh Motivasi terhadap Performa Atlet Panjat Tebing

The Influence of Motivation on the Performance of Rock Climbing

Athletes

Latar Belakang: Panjat tebing membutuhkan kombinasi daya tahan fisik dan ketahanan psikologis. Atlet pelajar,

khususnya, menghadapi tantangan dalam menyeimbangkan tekanan akademis dengan jadwal latihan yang padat, yang

sering kali mengakibatkan penurunan motivasi dan kinerja. Meskipun penelitian sebelumnya telah mengkaji aspek

latihan fisik, peran motivasi masih kurang dieksplorasi. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh

motivasi intrinsik dan ekstrinsik terhadap kinerja atlet panjat tebing di Jawa Timur. Metode: Pendekatan tinjauan

pustaka kualitatif digunakan, mensintesis temuan dari jurnal ilmiah, buku, dan sumber kredibel yang diterbitkan antara

tahun 2021 dan 2025. Analisis konten tematik dilakukan untuk mengekstrak dan mengatur data kunci mengenai

faktor-faktor motivasi yang memengaruhi kinerja atlet. Hasil: Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa motivasi intrinsik—

seperti kepuasan pribadi, dorongan internal, dan kesenangan—berkontribusi signifikan terhadap kinerja dan

ketahanan yang konsisten di bawah tekanan kompetitif. Faktor ekstrinsik, termasuk dukungan orang tua, pengakuan,

dan lingkungan pelatihan, memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk motivasi atlet tahap awal. Keterlibatan orang

tua, khususnya, ditemukan memiliki dampak positif yang kuat terhadap kepercayaan diri dan hasil kinerja.

Kesimpulan: Temuan ini menggarisbawahi pentingnya mengintegrasikan strategi psikologis ke dalam program

pengembangan atlet untuk memperkuat motivasi intrinsik dan ekstrinsik, sehingga meningkatkan kinerja panjat tebing

dan keterlibatan jangka panjang.

Background: Sport climbing requires a combination of physical endurance and psychological resilience. Student-

athletes, in particular, face challenges balancing academic pressures with demanding training schedules, often

resulting in decreased motivation and performance. While previous studies have examined physical training aspects,

the role of motivation remains underexplored. Objective: This study aims to analyze the influence of intrinsic and

extrinsic motivation on the performance of sport climbing athletes in East Java. Method: A qualitative literature

review approach was employed, synthesizing findings from scholarly journals, books, and credible sources published

between 2021 and 2025. Thematic content analysis was conducted to extract and organize key data regarding

motivational factors affecting athlete performance. Results: The study found that intrinsic motivation—such as

personal satisfaction, internal drive, and enjoyment—significantly contributes to consistent performance and

resilience under competitive pressure. Extrinsic factors, including parental support, recognition, and training

environment, play a crucial role in shaping early-stage athlete motivation. Parental involvement, in particular, was

found to have a strong positive impact on confidence and performance outcomes. Conclusion: The findings

underscore the importance of integrating psychological strategies into athlete development programs to strengthen

both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, thereby enhancing sport climbing performance and long-term engagement.
