The Effect of Gamma Wave Optimization and Attention on Hitting Skills in Softball

Abstract

Hitting the ball is a complicated ability in softball academicie, because in appreciation to prioritizing movement skills, cognitive appearances additionally need to be investigated, one of which is attention. Meanwhile, going to hit the ball requires excellent attention for an individual student. Exhibiting gamma waves further influence arrangements of hitting performance. The objectives of this study were first, to determine the negative functional correlation between gamma brain waves and hitting skills, then second to know the positive functional correlation between attention and hitting skills and third to determine the effect of attention on increasing hitting skills. The method used in this research is an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design research design. The sampling technique in this study was using a saturated sampling technique. This investigation amounted to 20 subjects, in the calculation of the Pearson product-moment correlation test using SPSS v.23. The first results collected were p-value 0.026 with an r square value of 0.25, so there is a significant negative functional correlation between gamma brain waves and hitting skills in softball learning of 25%. The second issue obtained p-value 0.017 with an r square value of 0.28, so there is a significant positive functional correlation between attention and hitting skills in softball learning by 28%. Furthermore, thirdly, the results obtained p-value 0.0001 between pre-test and post-test, with a significant increase in skills of 70.17%, so there is a significant influence between attention and hitting skills.

Improvement of Students' Tennis Skills Based on Hitting Strength Training

“…Good hitting skills can ensure that tennis players can fully control the rhythm of tennis matches on the court. 5 According to the characteristics of tennis and the characteristics of human body structure, we can know that under the premise of ensuring the law of tennis players' physical development, we can use the principle of biomechanics to improve the hitting power of the body. 6 In this process, we can use a more scientific training method to correct the hitting posture of sports mobilization, and use the forehand and backhand hitting methods to improve the basic ability of the baseline of tennis players.…”

Upper Limbs Physical Fitness Training in Volleyball Players

“…Only in this way can we have a greater chance to send high-quality balls. 4 The accuracy and coordination of hitting action depend on the integrity of technical action on the one hand, and the strength connection between muscles and the ability of nerves to accurately regulate muscles on the other hand. 5 Its coordination has a great relationship with the stretching ability.…”

Unlocking the Inner Drive: Exploring Intrinsic Motivation in Softball Across Genders

“…Softball, a dynamic team sport demanding a blend of physical prowess, technical finesse, and cognitive strategies, frequently finds its way into university programs, be it through formal physical education curricula or as a favored extracurricular pursuit (Appelbaum et al, 2016;Negara et al, 2021;Roberts, 2012). Herein lies an opportunity to unravel how intrinsic motivation influences the engagement of university students with softball, offering insights into the factors propelling skill refinement and shaping the holistic sporting experience of these students (Baena-Extremera et al, 2014;Buning, 2016;Ryan & Deci, 2020).…”
