Development of an External Load Physical Training Model to Increase Strength in Shotokan Karate

Abstract

This research aims to determine the effect of the developed external load physical training model on efforts to increase strength in the sport of shotokan karate. The participants in this study were 20 shotokan karate athletes and students at Universitas Negeri Makassar. This research was conducted on the Universitas Negeri Makassar campus for three months. The research design used was research and development (R & D) with a purposive sampling technique. We also conducted experiments to measure the effectiveness of the external weight training model we developed. Participants were given treatment in ten meetings. To measure the level of improvement in the treatment given, we conducted a pre-test and post-test in the experimental group. The results showed that the external load physical training model proved effective in increasing strength in shotokan karate athletes. Of course, after going through the revision stages to perfect the training model. Therefore, we recommend that future researchers re-test the effectiveness of the external load physical training model that we developed with other research methods to test the validity and reliability of this training model.
