Abstract

Background: Leg muscle explosive power is a crucial physical component in volleyball, particularly in supporting the execution of smashes and blocks. The ability to generate force rapidly and explosively plays a key role in determining an athlete’s jumping performance. One training method proven effective in enhancing leg muscle explosive power is plyometric exercise. Several recent studies have shown that plyometric training can significantly improve vertical jump performance in adolescent athletes. However, there is still limited research specifically examining the effect of plyometric exercise on jumping explosive power in amateur players aged 14–18 years, indicating a research gap that warrants further investigation. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of plyometric training on improving leg muscle explosive power in amateur volleyball players. Methods: This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The subjects were 32 amateur volleyball players from the Dusun Tegalrejo volleyball team, divided into an intervention group (n = 16) and a control group (n = 16). Leg muscle explosive power was measured using the Vertical Jump Test (VJ). Results: Statistical analysis showed that the intervention group had a significant improvement (p = 0.001, p < 0.05). The comparison between the two groups also revealed a significant difference (p = 0.003, p < 0.05). The intervention group showed a greater mean difference (4.94) compared to the control group (2.43). Conclusion: Plyometric exercise is effective in improving jumping explosive power in amateur volleyball players.

Bahasa Abstract

Latar Belakang: Daya ledak otot tungkai merupakan komponen fisik yang sangat penting dalam permainan bola voli, khususnya untuk mendukung pelaksanaan smash dan block. Kemampuan menghasilkan gaya secara cepat dan eksplosif berperan penting dalam menentukan performa lompatan atlet. Salah satu metode latihan yang terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan daya ledak otot tungkai adalah latihan plyometric. Beberapa studi terbaru menunjukkan bahwa latihan plyometric dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan performa lompatan vertikal pada atlet remaja. Namun, masih terbatas penelitian yang secara khusus mengkaji pengaruh latihan plyometric terhadap daya ledak lompatan pada pemain amatir usia 14–18 tahun, sehingga menjadi celah penelitian yang perlu dikaji lebih lanjut. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan plyometric dalam meningkatkan daya ledak otot tungkai pada pemain bola voli amatir. Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi-eksperimen dengan rancangan pre-test dan post-test dengan kelompok kontrol. Subjek penelitian adalah 32 pemain bola voli amatir dari tim bola voli Dusun Tegalrejo, yang dibagi menjadi kelompok intervensi (n = 16) dan kelompok kontrol (n = 16). Daya ledak otot tungkai diukur menggunakan Vertical Jump Test (VJ). Hasil: Analisis statistik menunjukkan bahwa kelompok intervensi mengalami peningkatan yang signifikan (p = 0,001, p < 0,05). Perbandingan antara kedua kelompok juga menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (p = 0,003, p < 0,05). Kelompok intervensi menunjukkan peningkatan rerata (mean difference) yang lebih besar (4,94) dibandingkan kelompok kontrol (2,43). Kesimpulan: Latihan plyometric efektif dalam meningkatkan daya ledak gerakan melompat pada pemain bola voli amatir.
