pengaruh latihan ankle weight terhadap kecepatan tendangan mawashi geri
Speed is a crucial component in karate performance, especially in executing Mawashi Geri, a circular kick that requires explosive power, coordination, and precision. This study aims to investigate the effect of ankle weight training on the speed of Mawashi Geri kicks among adolescent athletes at Dojo Ikhlas Pekanbaru. The research employed an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving eight karate athletes selected through total sampling. The athletes underwent a period of ankle weight training, and their kick speed was measured using a digital stopwatch. Data collection involved three kicking trials per athlete, with the fastest time recorded. Statistical analysis included normality testing using the Lilliefors test and hypothesis testing using a paired t-test. The results indicated a significant improvement in Mawashi Geri kicking speed after the ankle weight intervention. The t-test value (t = 3.571) exceeded the critical value (t = 1.943), confirming a statistically significant effect at the 0.05 level. This enhancement is attributed to neuromuscular adaptation and increased muscle fiber activation, particularly fast-twitch (type II) fibers, which contribute to faster and more explosive movements. The findings align with prior studies emphasizing the effectiveness of resistance-based training in martial arts. In conclusion, ankle weight training has a significant positive impact on improving Mawashi Geri kick speed, making it a valuable approach for enhancing athletic performance in karate, particularly in kumite. These results offer practical implications for coaches in designing targeted training programs that integrate resistance methods to optimize speed and technical execution in competition settings.
