Effect of Plyometric Exercise and Leg Muscle Endurance on the Agility and VO₂max of Badminton Athletes

Abstract

Study purpose. This study aimed to determine: (1) the difference in the effect of plyometric ladder drill and hurdle drill exercises on agility and VO2max, (2) the difference in the effect of badminton athletes’ high and low leg muscle endurance on agility and VO2max, (3) interaction between plyometric ladder drill and hurdle drill exercises with high and low leg muscle endurance on agility and VO2max.
 Materials and methods. This research was an experimental study with a 2x2 factorial design. The study sample was badminton athletes, totaling 24 people who were randomly selected from a population of 45 people. The instrument to measure agility was the T Drill Test, and that to measure VO2max was the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). The data analysis technique used was the two-way ANOVA at a significance level of 0.05.
 Results. The study findings are as follows: (1) there is a significant difference in the effect of ladder drill and hurdle drill exercises on the agility of badminton athletes, whereas ladder drill and hurdle drill exercises have an equally good effect on increasing VO2max; (2) there is a significant difference in effect of badminton athletes’ high and low leg muscle endurance on agility and VO2max; (3) there is a significant interaction between ladder drill and hurdle drill exercises and high and low leg muscle endurance on agility, whereas both exercises are equally well used to provide VO2max improvement.
 Conclusions. Based on the results of the study and the results of the data analysis that was carried out, it was concluded that there is a significant difference in the effect of plyometric ladder drill and hurdle drill exercises on the agility of badminton athletes.

The Personalized System of E-Modul Instructions in Physical Education Online Learning

“…PSI Learning Model is a learning model that focuses more on the learning process that is independent and able to shape students into independent learners (Juditya et al, 2019;Kogoya et al, 2023). The PSI learning model allows students to become independent learners and at the same time allows teachers to use a high level of interaction with students who need it (Metzler, 2011;Nugroho et al, 2022).…”

“…Easy access to smartphones tends to increase the level of addiction in teenagers which can affect their health and social interactions (Cleary et al, 2020). Increasing human resources through a teacher or school principal requires improvement and development in developing human resources on a wider scale at national and international levels in a sustainable manner so that they are able to answer the challenges of the industrial world or face the era of industrial revolution 4.0 and society 5.0 (Nugroho et al, 2022). The trend of increasing cases of gadget/device/smartphone addiction among teenagers is related to high internet use, based on survey results from the Indonesian Internet Service Providers Association (APJII) in 2021 that the number of internet users in Indonesia has reached 210 million.In the latest survey findings, it was found that the internet penetration rate in Indonesia grew by 77.02%, there were 210,026,769 people out of a total of 272,682,600 Indonesian people connected to the internet in 2021.In terms of age, the 13-18 year old group surfs the internet the most, followed by the 19-34 year old group.years, the difference is quite slight and the 35-54 year age group is an age group that does not really understand internet usage.In line with the rapid development of technology, all information can be received easily by all levels of society, from children to adults, and it cannot be denied that the information received is not only limited to positive information, but negative information is the biggest challenge in using the internet (Kogoya et al, 2023).…”

The Relationship Between the Level of Physical Fitness and the Level of Depression in Elderly Age Based on Gender and Marital Status

“…Depression is one of the problems of older people (Nugroho et al, 2022). They are considered normal mental development and are usually not recognised, so treatment is rarely given (Trisnadi et al, 2023).…”
