Abstract

Introduction: The issue of inconsistent shooting accuracy is the basis for the importance of developing exercises that are in line with the physical abilities and coordination of athletes

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of Resistance Bands and Dumbbell Swing exercises and hand-eye coordination on the shooting results of petanque athletes.

Methodology: The issue of inconsistent shooting accuracy is the basis for the importance of developing exercises that are in line with the physical abilities and coordination of athletes. This study used a 2×2 factorial experimental design with grouping based on the type of exercise and level of hand-eye coordination. The instruments used included hand-eye coordination and shooting outcome tests, while data analysis was performed through normality, homogeneity, and 2×2 factorial ANOVA tests.

Results: The results showed that the type of exercise had a significant effect on shooting outcomes (p = 0.008), with Dumbbell Swing providing greater improvement than Resistance Bands. Hand-eye coordination also had a significant effect (p = 0.012), with athletes with high coordination achieving better shooting results. In addition, there was a significant interaction between the type of exercise and hand-eye coordination (p = 0.037), indicating that the effectiveness of the exercise differed in each coordination category.

Discussion: These findings emphasize the importance of designing training programs tailored to individual motor characteristics to optimize shooting performance improvement.

Conclusions: In conclusion, Dumbbell Swing is more effective for athletes with high coordination, while Resistance Bands are more suitable for athletes with low coordination
