PENGARUH METODE CIRCUIT TRAINING TERHADAP KELINCAHAN DRIBBLING DALAM PERMAINAN FUTSAL PESERTA EKSTRAKURIKULER MTS MA’ARIF NU 18 ROUDLOTUL ULUM PASIR SAKTI

Abstract

Futsal is a sport that requires technical skills and physical components, particularly agility, to perform effective dribbling movements. However, participants of the futsal extracurricular program at MTs Ma’arif NU 18 Roudlotul Ulum Pasir Sakti still showed limitations in changing direction quickly and maintaining ball control during dribbling. This study aimed to determine the effect of Circuit Training method on dribbling agility in futsal extracurricular participants. This research employed a quantitative approach using an experimental method with a Two Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The research sample consisted of 24 futsal extracurricular participants divided into an experimental group and a control group, with each group consisting of 12 participants. Data were collected using the Zig-Zag Dribbling Test and analyzed using normality test, homogeneity test, paired sample t-test, and independent sample t-test with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that the experimental group experienced a greater improvement in dribbling agility, with the average time decreasing from 20.52 seconds in the pretest to 18.57 seconds in the posttest, while the control group improved from 20.57 seconds to 20.19 seconds. The independent sample t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Therefore, Circuit Training method has a significant effect on improving dribbling agility in futsal. This study contributes to the development of school-based futsal training programs by providing empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of structured circuit-based exercises in improving specific futsal skills.
