Effect of Lateral Cone Hops and Hurdle Hops Training on the Power of Legs Muscles

摘要

This study aims to determine the effect of lateral cone hops training on the legs muscle power of the karate athletes, the effect of hurdle hops training on the legs muscle power of the karate athletes and the difference in effect between lateral cone hops and hurdle hops training on the legs muscle power of the karate athletes. Subjects in this study were kumite karate athletes. This study used an experimental method with the modified group pre-test post-test design. Data collection tests using the standing broad jump test. Data analysis using calculations the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test the significance level of a=0.05 with help by SPSS 16.0 program. It was concluded that, there was an influence of lateral cone hops and hurdle hops training on leg muscle power and there was a difference in influence between lateral cone hops and hurdle hops training where hurdle hops training is better than lateral cone hop training on the legs muscle power of the karate athletes. The trainer should be able to emphasize the hops hurdle training, this is due to better research results than lateral cone hops training.
