THE EFFECT OF SLALOM DRIBBLING AND CIRCUIT DRIBBLING TRAINING ON SPEED ABILITY OF DRIBBLING THE BALL SSB SETYA BHAKTI

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Slalom Dribbling and Circuit Dribbling exercises on the dribbling speed ability of soccer players from SSB Setya Bhakti. The research method used was experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 12 soccer players selected using a total sampling technique. The players were divided into two groups: the experimental group, which underwent Slalom Dribbling training, and the control group, which underwent Circuit Dribbling training, each consisting of 6 players. The training was conducted over 16 sessions with a frequency of three times a week. Dribbling speed was measured in meters before and after the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in dribbling ability after the Slalom Dribbling training, with an average increase of 8.10%. Meanwhile, Circuit Dribbling training also showed improvement but to a lesser extent, with an average increase of 2.73%. The t-test indicated that Slalom Dribbling training was more effective than Circuit Dribbling in improving dribbling ability, with t-value 3.163 > t-table 2.228 and a significance value of 0.010 < 0.05. From these findings, it can be concluded that Slalom Dribbling training has a greater impact on improving dribbling speed than Circuit Dribbling training. This research is expected to serve as a reference for soccer coaches in designing more effective training programs to enhance player performance.
