Improving Students' Long Jump Performance With Lateral Cone Hops Training: An Experimental Study

Abstract

The problem in this study is related to the low understanding and application of effective training methods to improve long jump performance in Physical Education Study Program students. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lateral cone hops training in improving students' long jump performance. This type of research uses an experimental design. which is given a pre-test and post-test, the population in this study amounted to 80 people. sample A total of 30 Physical Education Study Program students (20 men and 10 women) aged 20-23 years participated in this study. Participants were randomly selected. Data collection techniques using pre-test and post-test. Data analysis techniques used paired t-test to compare pre-test and post-test results. The results were analyzed using t-test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed a significant increase, pre-test 5.13 and post-test 5.20 in students' long jump performance. Conclusion Lateral cone hops training is proven to be effective in improving the long jump performance of Physical Education Study Program students. This program can be integrated into the physical education curriculum to support the development of student athletic skills..
