HUBUNGAN ANTARA KEKUATAN OTOT LENGAN, POWER OTOT LENGAN DAN KESEIMBANGAN TERHADAP KETEPATAN HASIL POINTING JONGKOK PADA ATLET PETANQUE UKM UNESA

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARM MUSCLE STRENGTH, ARM MUSCLE POWER AND BALANCE ON THE ACCURACY OF SQUAT POINTING RESULTS IN UNESA UKM PETANQUE ATHLETES

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara kekuatan otot lengan, power otot lengan, dan keseimbangan terhadap ketepatan hasil pointing jongkok pada atlet petanque UKM UNESA. Permasalahan utama adalah kurangnya penelitian spesifik yang mengeksplorasi faktor fisik yang memengaruhi teknik pointing jongkok dalam olahraga petanque.Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan melibatkan 20 atlet 10 putra dan 10 putri sebagai sampel. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengukuran kekuatan otot lengan menggunakan tes push-up, power otot lengan melalui lemparan bola medicine, keseimbangan dengan metode BESS, dan ketepatan pointing jongkok. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji prasyarat normalitas, serta uji hipotesis menggunakan korelasi Pearson dan regresi linear ganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan antara kekuatan otot lengan (r = -0,643, p < 0,01), power otot lengan (r = -0,732, p < 0,01), dan keseimbangan (r = -0,590, p < 0,01) terhadap ketepatan hasil pointing jongkok. Kesimpulannya Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kekuatan otot lengan, power otot lengan, dan keseimbangan memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan ketepatan pointing jongkok pada atlet petanque.  Power otot lengan menjadi faktor dominan yang mempengaruhi akurasi lemparan. Temuan ini menunjukkan pentingnya pengembangan kekuatan, power, dan keseimbangan dalam program latihan atlet petanque untuk meningkatkan performa.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between arm muscle strength, arm muscle power, and balance on the accuracy of squat pointing results in UNESA UKM petanque athletes. The main problem is the lack of specific research that explores the physical factors that influence the squat pointing technique in petanque. The research method used is a quantitative approach involving 20 athletes, 10 men and 10 women as samples. Data were collected through the measurement of arm muscle strength using a push-up test, arm muscle power through throwing a medicine ball, balance with the BESS method, and the accuracy of squat pointing. Data analysis was carried out by normality prerequisite test, as well as hypothesis test using Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between arm muscle strength (r = -0.643, p < 0.01), arm muscle power (r = -0.732, p < 0.01), and balance (r = -0.590, p < 0.01) on the accuracy of squat pointing results. Conclusion The results of this study show that arm muscle strength, arm muscle power, and balance have a significant relationship with squat pointing accuracy in petanque athletes. Arm muscle power is the dominant factor that affects the accuracy of the throw. These findings show the importance of developing strength, power, and balance in the training program of petanque athletes to improve performance.
