ABSTRACT

Resistance band is an easier alternative to strength training for young athletes in stimulating neural adaptation, enhancing hypertrophy, muscle capacity, strength and power. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the body chest rig resistance band training model on student athletes. Methods: This study used a pseudo-experimental research design with a pretest-posttest control group design. The subjects of this study were student athletes from various sports in Pontianak, specifically martial arts, athletics, and volleyball. The sample comprised student athletes aged 15-17 years, enrolled in junior and senior high schools. A total of 58 student athletes participated, divided equally into two groups: the experimental group and the control group, with 29 participants in each group. Analysis: Quantitative data analysis was performed using strength test instruments (psychomotor), including push-pull and back-leg dynamometers. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 2025. Results: The results indicated that adding load through resistance exercises using body chest rig resistance bands, with exercise loading stages adjusted by band color and additional weight, significantly impacted muscle strength in student-athletes aged 15-17 years. The statistical analysis revealed that the average strength test scores in the experimental group increased from 73.52 before treatment to 83.83 after receiving the body chest rig resistance band strength training model. Conclusion: Body chest rig resistance band training is effective in enhancing muscle strength among student-athletes. The findings suggest that the benefits of body chest rig resistance bands are comparable to those of traditional isotonic machines and free weights.
