Pengaruh Latihan Up Hillt terhadap Kekuatan Shooting dalam Permainan Sepakbola pada Klub Ngamonsa Fc

Abstract

Uphill training with a specific incline is believed to enhance lower limb muscle capacity for maximal running speed and to develop dynamic strength in the leg muscles. During physical training using this method, the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems undergo physiological adaptations. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of uphill training on shooting power in soccer athletes of Ngamonsa FC. The study employed a quasi-experimental design with a non-randomized pretest–posttest control group. The research sample consisted of 20 participants, selected using a total sampling technique. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the mean shooting power in the experimental group compared to pre-intervention values (p-value=<0.001). Furthermore, the mean improvement in shooting power in the experimental group was significantly higher (p-value=0.001) than that of the control group following the intervention. In conclusion, uphill training had a significant effect on improving shooting power in soccer performance among Ngamonsa FC players.
