Improving Strength of Upper Extremity and Torso Using Unesa Jinggo Fit Circuit Training
摘要
Now days, there are many training equipment that can be used to increase the performance of physical fitness, including Unesa Jinggo Fit. Unesa Jinggo Fit is a set of physical activity’s equipment that can be used for indoor or outdoor training. Upper Extremity and Torso muscle strength is needed to maintain body balance. The main purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of Unesa Jingo Fit Circuit Training in improving strength of upper extremity and torso. This study was an experimental study (quasi experiment) in which conducted at 34 male students of Sport Coaching Department Faculty of Sport Science Universitas Negeri Surabaya Indonesia. The participations were divided into groups (Group 1 was given Unesa Jinggo Fit Circuit Training, and Group 2 was given circuit weight training). 9 items of the Unesa Jinggo Fit Circuit Training form of Abdomen Roller, Low Row, Dumbbell High Pull, Atom Push Up, Biceps Curl, Chest Press, Skipping, reverse mountain climber and triceps extension. The treatment was given for about 4x/week during periods of 8 weeks. Instruments that have been used in this study were 30 s push ups (strength of upper extremity) and 30 s sit ups (strength of torso). Pretest was taken before the treatment was given, while posttest was given after completing the treatment. Paired t-test was used as data analyzing. The results of this study found that Unesa Jinggo Fit Circuit Training and Circuit Weight Training improved significantly for the strength of upper extremity and torso with p-value of 0 < 05. The conclusion of this study can be stated that Unesa Jinggo Fit can be used as the alternative training methods in improving the strength of upper extremity and torso. Future research should apply Unesa Jinggo Fit Circuit Training in improving lower extremities and other physical performance.
