The Relationship Between Biomotor Components and Football Skills in Extracurricular Activities at SMK KARTEK Jatilawang Banyumas

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the functional relationship between biomotor components (agility, eye-foot coordination, leg power, and speed) and fundamental football skills (dribbling and shooting) among extracurricular students at SMK KARTEK Jatilawang, Banyumas. The background of this research is the low technical skills of students despite regular training, suggesting a lack of foundational physical development. This research employed a quantitative approach with a correlational and causal-comparative design. The population was all students participating in the football extracurricular, totaling 100 students (N=100). The instruments used were the Illinois Agility Test for agility, Soccer Wall Volley Test for coordination, Standing Broad Jump for power, 30-Meter Sprint for speed, and standard football skill tests for dribbling and shooting developed by Narlan & Juniar (2020). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, multiple linear regression analysis, and independent sample t-test. The results showed a significant simultaneous relationship between biomotor components and dribbling skills (F=57.318, p<0.001) as well as shooting skills (F=10.018, p<0.001). Partially, agility (r=-0.804) and speed (r=-0.939) showed a very strong correlation with dribbling but were not significant for shooting accuracy. Conversely, eye-foot coordination (r=0.396) and leg power (r=-0.215) significantly influenced shooting skills. The comparative test also revealed significant differences in skills between students with high and low biomotor abilities. The study concludes that specific biomotor components are critical predictors of football performance, suggesting that training programs should be tailored—focusing on speed and agility for dribblers, and coordination and power for shooters.
