Effectiveness of Shadow Training Using Badminton Steps Application in Increasing Footwork Agility on Badminton Athlete

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to see how the effect of shadow training using the badminton step application on footwork agility. This research is experimental design. Research data collection was carried out by obtaining pre-test and post-test data with a sample of 10 athletes during the experimental study which was held at the UNJA Jambi Sports building.

Tohar’s proposed 30-second leg exercise was used as an instrument in this investigation with a validity of 0.706 and reliability of 0.808. Data were analyzed quantitatively using normality and homogeneity tests and t-tests for hypothesis testing. Based on the results of the t-test, the researcher believes that giving shadow exercises using the badminton step application can make a good contribution because using the badminton step application can give orders to athletes during shadow training stably. The results showed that shadow training with badminton tank steps had an effect on footwork agility. Furthermore, the findings of the paired sample t-test on the pre-test and post-test data resulted in a value at -9000 with a significant (2-tailed) 0.000 < 0.05, supporting this conclusion. So based on the data obtained T-count is -9000 and has a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. It can be concluded that shadow training with badminton has an effect on an athlete’s footwork agility. Therefore, it can be concluded that shadow training affects the application of the badminton steps on footwork. There is a significant influence in increasing footwork agility using shadow exercises with the application of badminton steps. Based on the results of the t-test, the researcher believes that giving shadow exercises using the badminton step application can make a good contribution because using the badminton step application can give orders to athletes during shadow training stably.
