The Relationship Between Leg Muscle Power and Shooting Ability in Extracurricular Soccer Players at Adhyaksa Private Junior High School

Abstract

Background

The problem in this study was the suboptimal shooting performance of the extracurricular soccer players at Adhyaksa Private Middle School. In other words, their shots were not hitting the intended target. In accordance with this,

Objectives

This study aims to reveal the relationship between leg muscle explosive power and shooting ability in extracurricular soccer players at Adhyaksa Private Middle School.

Methods

This study is a correlational study that seeks to examine the relationship between two variables, namely lower limb muscle power and shooting ability among extracurricular soccer players at Adhyaksa Private Junior High School. Lower limb muscle power is the independent variable, and shooting ability is the dependent variable.

Results

The results of the hypothesis testing showed that lower limb muscle power (x) did not have a significant relationship and did not contribute significantly to shooting ability (y), P=0.524 a. The correlation between leg muscle explosive power and shooting ability is 0.616 < r tab 0.374. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. Therefore

Conclusion

There is a significant relationship between explosive leg muscle power and shooting ability in extracurricular soccer players at Adhyaksa Private Middle School aged 13-15 years.
