ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to determine the changes during plyometric exercises on sickle kicks. The research method used was an experimental study conducted for 8 weeks. The research design is to compare the plyometric standing jump (A1), box drill (A2), and depth jump (A3) training methods with the speed factor (B) in increasing kick power. The instrument for measuring the explosive power of the leg muscles is a punching pad. A total of 25 male participants were selected based on their qualifications for this study. The participants performed sickle kicks three times with each different media. Activities are recorded using a camera with video results and instruments that have been formed. The results show that plyometric standing jump, box drill, and depth jump exercises can increase the explosive power of sickle kicks in pencak silat athletes. In addition to the plyometric training factor, there is a speed variable that can also affect kick power. In this case, it can be interpreted that the three plyometric training methods can be used to increase the explosive power of the leg muscles. This study found that the standing jump training method was better or superior to the box drill and depth jump. However, in general, these three methods can increase the explosive power of the leg muscles with the exercise program applied. This can be seen in the program's training results, which lasted for 8 weeks, showing that the standing jump training method is superior to box drills and depth jumps in increasing kick power.
