Pengaruh Latihan Tali Strap Terhadap Smash Atlit Klub Bola Voli Balandai Raya

Abstract

The problem of low smash accuracy is often experienced by club-level volleyball athletes, including those at Balandai Raya Club, which affects the effectiveness of their attacks. This study aims to analyze the effect of strap training on improving smash accuracy in these club athletes. The method used is a one-group pretest-posttest experimental design with a sample of 10 athletes selected purposively. The training intervention was conducted over 16 sessions with a structured protocol focusing on technique and accuracy. The research instrument was a smash accuracy test with assessment based on target zones. The data were analyzed using a paired sample t-test after ensuring normality (Shapiro-Wilk) and homogeneity (Levene test). The results showed a significant improvement with an average pretest score of 13.60 to 16.10 on the posttest. The t-value of 15.000 > t-table 2.262 and significance of 0.000 (p < 0.05) confirmed a positive effect. The conclusion of this study is that strap exercises are effective in improving the accuracy of smashes in Balandai Raya club volleyball athletes and can be used as an affordable and structured alternative training method. The practical implication is that this method is recommended for integration into training programs to improve attack performance.
