The Effect of Slow-Motion Video Application on Improving Throwing, Kicking, and Passing Techniques of PJKR Students

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of slow-motion video application on improving throwing, kicking, and passing techniques among Physical Education, Health, and Recreation (PJKR) students at the Faculty of Sports and Health Sciences, Makassar State University (UNM). The research employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group design involving 60 students divided into experimental and control groups of 30 students each. The experimental group received training using slow-motion video application technology, while the control group received conventional training methods. Data collection was conducted using performance tests for throwing, kicking, and passing techniques with standardized rubrics. The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and control group, with the experimental group showing an average increase of 28.5% in throwing technique, 31.2% in kicking technique, and 29.8% in passing technique, while the control group showed an increase of only 8.3%, 7.9%, and 8.1% respectively. An independent t-test analysis revealed significant differences with p-values < 0.05 for all three techniques (p = 0.001 for throwing, p = 0.002 for kicking, and p = 0.001 for passing). The findings indicate that slow-motion video application is significantly more effective than conventional training methods in improving fundamental sports techniques among PJKR students. This study demonstrates the value of integrating technology-based visual feedback into sports skill instruction as a supplementary training tool that enhances motor learning and technical proficiency.
