Effect of Leg Length With 100m Sprint Running Speed on The Men’s Soccer Team at SMA 1 Mataram

Abstract

Running is one of the movements needed in soccer. A person in running motion has several factors that affect his speed. These factors include internal and external factors. One of these internal factors is leg length which is thought to have an influence on the frequency of a person’s footsteps so that they produce different speeds. This study aims to determine the effect of leg length on the 100M sprint running speed on the men’s soccer team at SMA 1 Mataram. This research method is an experimental method that is carried out directly by measuring leg length and running speed with 20 people as respondents from the entire soccer team at SMA 1 Mataram. There is an effect between leg length and 100M sprint running speed on the male soccer team at SMA 1 Mataram after the normality test p> 0.05 is 0.140 and the relative coefficient is 0.965, where the two characteristics above show a strong influence that has processed through the SPSS application.
