ABSTRACT

A test model or instrument was needed to evaluate the athlete's abilities in order to find out their increase in achievement and talent development. This instrument must be adapted to the athletes' characteristics and the sport they were involved in. Purpose: to test the aerobic gymnastic test model operation in the national development category and prove its feasibility and effectiveness. Design/ methodology/ approach: This research was experimental with field tests using the research design, namely Quasi Experiment with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The sample in this study involved 59 people, determined by the purposive sampling technique. The data analysis used in this study was the paired t-test. Results: The data found included (1) the left leg flexibility pre-test average (mean=132.2034, SD= 27.1056), the right leg flexibility pre-test (mean=133.8983, SD= 24.77603), the left leg flexibility post-test average (mean=143.9831, SD) = 22.29852), the post-test flexibility of the right leg (mean=153.0508, SD= 21.43589); and it was also found that (2) the hypothesis test was using paired t-test analysis (p<0.05), for the right leg flexibility with a p-value of 0.037 and left leg flexibility with a p-value of 0.011. Thus, the test model developed was declared effective for measuring flexibility in the aerobic gymnastics sports category of national development. For further research, designing the norms of this flexibility test model is necessary.
