Pengaruh Latihan Anaeorobik Terhadap Kelincahan Anak Pada Usia 10-14 Tahun

Abstract

Background: The optimized physical condition could be achieved by doing regular physical exercise and doing suitable exercise to develop athelete’s physical condition. One of the components of physical condition is agility. Agility could be trained by doing the right exercise. A form of exercise that can be done is anaerobic exercise. Objective: To determine the association between 12 weeks of anaerobic exercise with agility. Methods: The study was experimental with pre, middle, and post test control group design. Samples of the study were the students of Tugu Muda’s Football Academy age of 10-14 years old that fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Total of the samples were 32 students, divided into 2 groups, 16 students in case group and 16 students in control group. The case group was given additional exercise, the exercise was sprint training. Statistical test by Independent T-test and Mann Whitney test were used to compare pre-test, middle-test, and post-test results in both groups. While repeated Anova test was used to compare pre-test, middle-test, and post-test results in case group. Results: There were differences of agility test’s results between control and case groups. The differences in pre-test’s results were not significant (p=0,068). While the differences were significant in middle-test’s results (p=0,03) and post-test’s results (p=0,000). Repeated Anova test showed that there were lowering of agility test’s time results after 6 weeks and 12 weeks doing anaerobic exercise with p=0,000. Conclusion: Anaerobic exercise is associated with agility. Keywords: Anaerobic exercise, sprint training, agility.
