The Effect of Plyometric Exercise on Running Ability in Elementary School Students

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of plyometric training on the running ability of 5th grade elementary school students. This research is included in the quantitative research type of experimental research. The quantitative method was chosen because the data were in the form of numbers and were analyzed based on statistics (Sugiyono). This study used a group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 5th graders at Padas Elementary School, Ngawi Regency with a population of 60 students. The sampling technique was random sampling with a sample of 20 students. The sample selection is based on students who have weaknesses in running, lack of understanding of basic running techniques. The data collection technique was carried out with a running test and then a score assessment was carried out. The test technique was carried out by giving a pretest before being treated and a posttest after being given plyometric treatment. The results showed that there was an effect of plyometric training on the running ability of the fifth grade elementary school students of Padas with a hypothesis test result of 1.08. The results of the pretest and posttest obtained significant results after plyometric exercises were applied. So it can be concluded that there is a significant effect between plyometric training on running ability.
