Email this article Effects of Push-Up Training on Smash Speed among Badminton Athletes
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of push-up training on the improvement of smash speed among badminton athletes at PB Ksatria, Demak Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The participants consisted of 23 badminton athletes who underwent a structured push-up training program for 12 weeks, three sessions per week. Data were collected using a smash speed test conducted before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, paired sample t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the mean of smash speed increased from 47.43 in the pretest to 79.39 in the post-test. The paired sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference (t = - 118.247, p < 0.001), indicating that push-up training had a significant effect on smash speed improvement. In addition, the N-Gain score of 0.61 indicated a moderate improvement category. In conclusion, push-up training could significantly improve smash speed performance in badminton athletes at PB Ksatria, Demak Regency. These findings suggest that push-up exercise can be effectively integrated into club-level training programs to enhance upper-body power and sport-specific performance.
