Anthropometry Profile and Muscle Strength of Archery Athletes' Arms in DKI Jakarta

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the anthropometric profiles and muscle strength of archery athletes at the Center for Student Training (PPLM) at DKI Jakarta. This research was conducted in August 2017; data retrieval was conducted on August 16, 2017, and took place at the Laboratory Somatokinetika Faculty of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, Jl. Pemuda No. 10 Rawamangun, East Jakarta. Data collection used a descriptive method with a survey technique using test and measurement. Samples totalled 32 subjects with total sampling technique. The instruments used in this research were stadiometer, scales, anthropometer, seat anthropometer or seat-height gauge, meter, and push-and-pull dynamometer. Statistical techniques were used to calculate the highest and lowest value of each test item; to determine the range or range of the difference between the highest and lowest values; and to determine the median, mode, and standard deviation of the overall value of each test that in the study. We found a correlation between shoulder width and height, which is supported by literature asserting that a person's height can be roughly calculated from the person's arm span.

Correlation between shoulder width and height could influence muscle strength the playing style of athletes at the Center for Student Training (PPLM)at DKI Jakarta.
