Abstract: The purpose of this research was to determine the comparison of effect of roundhouse kick practice using

handbox and sandsack method to the speed of pencak silat athletes’ kick. The population in this research

was 8 pencak silat athletes and the research method used experimental method. The recent research used

total sampling technique. The result of data processing using SPSS 23 and data processing of t paired test

obtained the results as follows: Experiment 1, it was obtained the significance or value probability value of

0.000 smaller than α= 0.05, meaning that it was beyond the acceptance of the hypothesis (H0). Thus,

roundhouse kick practice using Handbox can increase the kick speed of pencak silat athletes. Experiment 2,

it was obtained the significance value or probability value of 0.000 smaller than α= 0.05, meaning that it

was beyond the acceptance of the hypothesis (H0). Thus, roundhouse kick practice using sandsack can

increase the kick speed of pencak silat athletes. From the comparison of the two experiments above, it was

obtained the significance value or probability value of 0.004 smaller than α= 0.05, meaning that it was

beyond the acceptance of the hypothesis (H0). This meant that there was a significant difference between

practices using handbox and sandsack. Based on the above result, it can be concluded that roundhouse kick

practice method using handbox and sandsack had a significant effect on the kick speed of PPLP pencak silat

athletes.

1 INTRODUCTION

The government’s attention to the Sports

Development and Achievement is high, so that the

development needs to be conducted in every layer of

society, as contained in Law of the Republic of

Indonesia No. 3 of 2005 (Undang-Undang Republik

Indonesia, No 3, 2005) on sporting system article 21,

paragraph 3 explaining that “The Development of

sports is conducted through the stages of

introduction of sports, monitoring, guiding, and

talent development and improvement of

achievements” (A. R. Jensen, et al. 2016). The

Indonesian independence is inseparable from the

role of the fighters in defending the independence,

one of which is through martial arts, namely Pencak

Silat. “Pencak silat is the result of Indonesian culture

to defend and maintain its existence and integrity to

the environment and the natural surroundings to

achieve harmony in life in order to increase faith and

piety to God Almighty (Wilson, L., 2009). Pencak

silat has the meaning of Pencak and Silat, Pencak

means a basic motions of martial arts tied to rules

and used in learning, practices and performances.

While Silat means a perfect martial movement,

which originates in pure sacred spirituality.”

Pencak silat has several basic techniques that

affect the success rate of athletes, the basic

techniques of pencak silat consist of kuda-kuda (a

neutral stance), punching, defense, dodging and

kicking that are mostly found in martial arts sports

(Anam A K, Hidayah T 2014). From the various types

of kicks in pencak silat, the researcher only

examines the roundhouse kick. A roundhouse kick is

a semicircular inside kick aimed at all parts of the

body using the back of the sole of foot” (Bal B S and

Singh, D 2014). The roundhouse kick is a very

dominant kick type performed by all athletes

because this kick is very easy to do and the level of

risk or impact of the kick is high for the athletes and

opponents because it is a composition of various

supporting factors of physical conditions such as leg

muscle strength and motion coordination (Cooper. W

E, 1982). Therefore, to get a quick and accurate kick

to the target, it takes a practices that affect to the

roundhouse kick speed (Manaf H, 2013). One of the

practices is by using sport infrastructure facilities

related to the sport branch. In this case, it can use

handbox, sandsack, and other facilities (Abernethy, B.

1991).

In the previous research, the researcher has

examined the effect of repetition practice method on

the roundhouse kick speed, then the researcher will

analyze the comparison of the effect of roundhouse

kick practice using handbox and sandsack to the

kick speed of pencak silat athletes.

2 METHODS

This research is experimental treatment which is a

way to find causal relation between two factors

deliberately caused by the researcher by eliminating

or reducing or separating other disturbing factors.

The research variables in this research are

roundhouse kick practice using handbox as

independent variable (X1) and using sandsack as the

independent variable (X2) to the kick speed of PPLP

pencak silat athletes as the dependent variable (Y).

2.1 Population

Population is overall/totality of subjects in the

research. The population in this research is 8 male

PPLP pencak silat athletes of Dispora Riau

Province.

2.2 Participant

Participant is partial or representative of the

population to be examined. Based on the research

population, the sample in this research is all the

population that is 8 male PLPP Pencak Silat athletes.

This is in accordance with the expert’s explanation

saying that: “If the subject is less than 100, it is

better to take all the subjects so that it belongs to

population research (Jowko E, et al. 2014). Thus,

sampling technique in this research is total

sampling”.

From the result of data analysis on the level of

validity, objectivity, and norms of research

development, roundhouse kick speed test of pencak

silat athletes has a validity of 0.860 and reliability of

0.740 (Panfil R, 2011).

Based on the calculation of data using stopwatch

with the time of 10 seconds, the criteria are as

follows:

Data processing is a design on procedure,

process and analyze data to facilitate research

according to research objectives. This data

processing serves to provide direction and procedure

in the research process. After the data from the test

with the instrument has been designed, the next step

is to process and analyze the data using SPSS 23

with t paired test data processing.

Hypotheses:

 H0 = There is no significant difference

between the effect of roundhouse kick speed

practice using hand box and/or using sandsack

to the kick speed of pencak silat athletes.

 H1 = There is a significant difference between

the effect of roundhouse kick speed practice

using handbox and/or using sandsack to the

kick speed of pencak silat athletes.

Decision Criteria:

 Significance value or probability value > 0.05,

Ho is accepted

 Significance value or probability value < 0.05,

Ho is rejected

 Experiment I, it is obtained significance value

or probability value of 0.000 smaller than α =

0.05,

Meaning that it is beyond the acceptance of the

hypothesis (H0). Thus, the practice of roundhouse

kick speed using hand box can increase the kick

speed of pencak silat athletes.

 Experiment II, it is obtained significance value

or probability value of 0.000 smaller than α=

0.05 meaning that it is beyond the acceptance

of the hypothesis (H0). Thus, the practice of

roundhouse kick speed using sandsack can

increase the kick speed of pencak silat athletes.

 -From the comparison of the two experiments

above, it is obtained significance value or

probability value of 0.004 smaller than α =

0.05, meaning that it is beyond the acceptance

of the hypothesis (H0). This means that there is

a significant difference between the practice of

roundhouse kick speed using handbox and

sandsack.

3.2 Discussion

Based on the analysis result above, it can be seen

that there is a significant effect of both experiments,

either roundhouse kick speed practice using handbox

or sandsack. This research supports previous

research that repetition practice method by

observing the basic techniques and rules of pencak

silat can increase the kick speed of pencak silat

athletes. By using the means of pencak silat

practices such as roundhouse kick speed using hand

box and sandsack, it can significantly increase the

kick speed of pencak silat athletes. By applying

regular and routine repetition method using handbox

and sandsack, it is expected to create an influential

motion automation for roundhouse kick speed of

pencak silat athletes.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the result of data analysis and discussion,

it can be concluded that the practice method using

handbox and sandsack affects the roundhouse kick

speed of PPLP pencak silat athletes.

For the sake of perfection of this research, the

researcher expects follow-up researches on both

basic techniques and other methods. The researcher

realizes that this research only examines male

pencak silat athletes, future researchers are expected

to be able to analyze female, adolescent, and early

childhood athletes.
