The Effect of Repetition Training Method on PPLP Dispora Riau Pencak Silat Athletes' Crescent Kick Speed

The problem in this study is the low speed of the crescent kick of PPLP Dispora Riau Pencak Silat athletes caused by lack of repetitions. Crescent kick velocity can be increased through repetition training method. The purpose of this study was to determine whether Repetition method significantly affects Crescent Kick Speed PPLP Dispora Riau Pencak Silat Athletes. This research belongs to an experiment design. This study uses two times the research design, the initial test (test Pree) are denoted O_1 and final test (post-test) are marked with O_2. Population and sample in this study is Pencak Silat athletes PPLP Dispora Riau province, amounting to 8 people. Statistical analysis of t test formula was used to process the data from pretest and posttest. After the statistical computation process, the observed value was compared to the critical value. Based that computation, the observed value is higher than the critical value. It means that there are significant differences between the results of the initial test and final test. The data analysis also gives the conclusion that an increase in 15.13% of the comparison results of the initial test and final test. Based on the above results, it can be concluded that the proposed hypothesis is proven that there is a significant influence of the Repetition Exercise Method in improving Crescent Kick Speed of PPLP Dispora Riau Pencak Silat athletes.
