The Effect of a Varied Physical Training Model on the Free Throw Performance of Basketball Extracurricular Participants at SMK Negeri 1 Kota Bima

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the effect of a varied physical training model on the basketball free throw ability of students participating in the extracurricular basketball program at SMK Negeri 1 Kota Bima. The study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The population consisted of all students participating in the basketball extracurricular program at SMK Negeri 1 Kota Bima, with a sample of 20 participants selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a basketball free throw skill test consisting of 20 shooting attempts for each participant. The treatment involved a varied physical training program conducted over 12 training sessions. Data were analyzed using statistical techniques to compare the participants' performance before and after the intervention. The findings revealed that the implementation of the varied physical training model improved the participants' free throw ability, as demonstrated by enhanced shooting accuracy and consistency following the training program. It can be concluded that the varied physical training model is an effective training approach for improving basketball free throw ability among extracurricular participants and may serve as a practical reference for coaches and physical education teachers in designing more varied, systematic, and effective basketball training programs.
