Improved Free Kick Accuracy: Through Imagery Training And Concentration Of Soccer Players
Apstrakt:
This study aims to 1) analyze the difference in the effect between internal imagery training and external imagery on the accuracy of free kicks of soccer players in terms of concentration, 2) analyze the difference in the effect between athletes who have high and low concentration on improving free kick accuracy, 3) analyze the interaction between internal imagery training and external imagery on free kick accuracy in terms of concentration. This type of research is an experiment with a 2 x 2 factorial design. The instrument used to measure concentration is the Grid Concentration Test, while free kick accuracy uses the free kick accuracy test. The data analysis technique used was two-way Anova. The results showed that: 1) There is a difference between internal imagery and external imagery training (p = 0.045 <0.05), then the internal imagery training method is better than external imagery on the accuracy of free kicks of soccer players. 2) There is a difference between players with high concentration and low concentration (p = 0.018 < 0.05), and players with high concentration are better than players with low concentration on the accuracy of free kicks of soccer players. 3) There is an interaction between internal and external imaging with high and low concentration (p = 0.000 < 0.05). The group of players who have high concentration is more appropriate if trained with internal imagery. In contrast, the players in the low concentration group were better if trained with external imagery.
