Abstract

The sickle kick is one of the most frequently used techniques in pencak silat competitions and yields high scores, making kick speed a critical performance factor. A faster sickle kick is more difficult for opponents to anticipate, parry, or counter. Several physical components support effective sickle kick performance, including strength, flexibility, power, balance, and agility. This study specifically examined the contribution of leg muscle explosive power and balance to sickle kick speed. This research employed a correlational design involving 30 male athletes from the Pencak Silat Student Activity Unit of Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (UNY), aged 19–23 years. Data were collected through tests and measurements, using the standing broad jump test to assess leg muscle explosive power, the standing stork test to measure balance, and a 10-second sickle kick speed test to evaluate kick performance. Data analysis was conducted using regression analysis to determine the contribution of each variable. The results revealed that leg muscle explosive power contributed 53.1% to sickle kick speed, while balance contributed 45.7%. When analyzed simultaneously, both variables accounted for 53.6% of the variance in sickle kick speed. These findings highlight the importance of developing leg muscle explosive power and balance within structured training programs to enhance sickle kick speed and overall competitive performance in pencak silat athletes.

Abstract

Sprint performance is a fundamental biomotor component that plays an essential role in many sports because it reflects an individual's acceleration capacity, movement efficiency, and overall physical performance. Although lower-body power, static balance, and agility are considered important determinants of sprint ability, their relative contributions to sprint performance among sport science students remain insufficiently understood. This study aimed to examine the associations of lower-body power, static balance, and agility with 30-meter sprint performance among sport science students at Cahaya Prima University. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 16 participants selected through purposive sampling from a population of 43 students. Lower-body power was assessed using the Standing Broad Jump Test, static balance using the Standing Stork Test, agility using the Illinois Agility Test, and sprint performance using the 30-meter sprint test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman's rank correlation, and multiple linear regression. The regression analysis revealed that lower-body power, static balance, and agility collectively explained 59.7% of the variance in 30-meter sprint performance (R² = 0.597, p = 0.010). Among the variables examined, lower-body power demonstrated the largest standardized regression coefficient, indicating the strongest relative association with sprint performance, although none of the individual predictors reached statistical significance in the partial regression analysis. These findings suggest that improving sprint performance requires not only sprint-specific practice but also training programs emphasizing the development of lower-body power and agility.
