Motion Analysis of Sreng Traditional Game: The Ideal Technique

Abstract

Studi purpose. This study aims to determine the ideal technique in playing sreng game.

Materials and methods. This research uses a descriptive analysis method to present a complete explanation of the results of quantitative research. The data collection techniques used in this study include surveys, observations and documentation which are then analyzed to retrieve kinematic data such as time, angle and distance. The population in this study were students of the Faculty of Sports Science, Universitas Negeri Semarang who were members of KDOT as many as 20 people. The data analysis technique uses Kinovea Software version 0.9.5, which makes it easy to observe movements clearly and in detail.

Results. The results found that the average step distance obtained was 1.493 ± 0.172 meters, the limb angle was 54.36 ± 8.695 degrees, the right elbow flexion angle was 129.04 ± 12.055 degrees, and the torso flexion angle was 20.03 ± 6.225 degrees. The time required to perform the movement obtained an average of 0.733 ± 0.136 seconds with an average speed generated of 2.10 ± 0.458 m/s. The average height of the handle produced was 0.707 ± 0.080 meters and the height of the iron was 0.158 ± 0.066 meters.

Conclusions. This study found that based on the analysis of footsteps, there is a significant difference between the right and left steps, which is due to the adjustment of movements to balance the sreng. In addition, grip height and iron contact also play an important role in maintaining balance to be able to control the sreng iron well, iron contact must be low and close to the ground, so that balance in steps and controlling sreng can be maintained.
