Abstract:
This study aims to determine the effect of arm muscle strength (X1), waist flexibility (X2), eye-hand-foot coordination (X3) and bat swing speed (X4) on the power hitting pull shot (Y) of female cricket athletes in DKI Jakarta. The research method is a survey using path analysis techniques, distributing a sample of 26 DKI Jakarta female cricket athletes. Hypothesis testing using path analysis techniques, the data obtained were analyzed by SPSS.25. This study resulted in a description of the data: a) the direct effect of X1 on Y or (r1y) = 0.330 (0.3302 x 100%); b) direct effect of X2 on Y or (r2y)= 0.306 (0.3062 x 100%); c) The direct effect of X3 on or (r3y)= 0.311% (0.3112 x 100%); d) direct effect of X4 on Y or (r4y)= 0.373 (0.3732 x 100%); e) direct effect of X1 on X4 (X1-X4) or (r14)= 0.716 (0.7162 x 100%); f) direct effect of X2 on X4 (X2-X4) or (r24) = 0.339 (0.3392 x 100%); g) direct effect of X3 on X4 (X3-X4) or (r34)= -0.094 (-0.0942 x 100%); h) indirect effect of X1 on Y through X4 (X1-X4-Y) or (r14y)= 0.716 x 0.373 = 0.267 (0.2672 x 100%); i) indirect effect of X2 on Y through X4 (X2-X4-Y) or (r24y)= 0.339 x 0.373 = 0.126 (0.1262 x 100%); j) the indirect effect of variable X3 on Y through X4 (X3-X4-Y) or (r34y) = 0.094 x 0.373 = 0.035 (0.035 x 100%). It was concluded that there was an influence of arm muscle strength, waist flexibility, eye-hand-foot coordination and bat swing speed, all of which affected the hitting pull shot power. There is an effect of arm muscle strength and waist flexibility on the swing speed of the bat. There is no effect of eye-hand-foot coordination on the swing speed of the bat. There is an indirect effect of arm muscle strength, waist flexibility and eye-hand-foot coordination on the power hitting pull shot through the speed of the bat swing. There is an indirect effect of waist flexibility and eye-hand-foot coordination on the power hitting pull shot through the swing speed of the bat.
