Alvindika Sidqi (2026). Hubungan Explosive Power Otot Lengan Dengan Kemampuan Smash Permainan Tenis Meja Pada Mahasiswa PJKR FKIP USK Tahun Akademik 2025/2026 [Skripsi. Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Dibawah bimbingan Dr. Drs. Sukardi Putra, M.Kes dan Novi Lidya Isdarianti, S.Pd., M.Pd.

Tenis meja merupakan olahraga yang membutuhkan gerakan cepat, refleks, kecepatan, dan koordinasi. Salah satu teknik dasar yang paling sering digunakan dalam permainan ini adalah pukulan smash, yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh kekuatan dan daya ledak otot lengan. Explosive Power otot lengan menjadi faktor penting dalam menghasilkan pukulan yang kuat, cepat, dan akurat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan daya ledak otot lengan dengan kemampuan smash dalam permainan tenis meja pada mahasiswa PJKR FKIP USK angkatan 2024. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif. Populasi penelitian ini seluruh mahasiswa PJKR USK angkatan 2024 Universitas Syiah Kuala. Sampel berjumlah 30 mahasiswa/i yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Instrumen explosive power otot lengan menggunakan tes Two-Hand Medicine Ball Put, kemampuan smash menggunakan tes ketepatan smash. Analisis data menggunakan uji korelasi pearson. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan signifikan sedang antara explosive power otot lengan terhadap kemampuan smash, dengan nilai korelasi r = 0,466 dan p-value = 0,009 < 0,05. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan bahwa r-hitung = 0,466 > r-tabel = 0,3610 dan t-hitung = 2,79 > t-tabel = 2,048, yang berarti hipotesis alternatif diterima. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa explosive power otot lengan memiliki pengaruh signifikan sedang terhadap kemampuan smash pada mahasiswa PJKR FKIP Universitas Syiah Kuala. Semakin besar kekuatan dan daya ledak otot lengan yang dimiliki, maka semakin baik pula kemampuan smash.

Kata Kunci: Explosive Power otot lengan, pukulan smash , tenis meja.

Alvindika Sidqi (2026). The Relationship Between Arm Muscle Explosive Power and Table Tennis Smash Ability Among Physical Education, Health, and Recreation (PJKR) Students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Syiah Kuala University, Academic Year 2025/2026 [Undergraduate Thesis, Syiah Kuala University]. Supervised by Dr. Drs. Sukardi Putra, M.Kes. and Novi Lidya Isdarianti, S.Pd., M.Pd. Table tennis is a sport that requires rapid movement, quick reflexes, speed, and coordination. One of the most frequently used fundamental techniques in this sport is the smash stroke, which is highly influenced by arm muscle strength and explosive power. Arm muscle explosive power is an essential factor in producing powerful, fast, and accurate smash strokes. This study aimed to determine the relationship between arm muscle explosive power and smash ability in table tennis among 2024 cohort students of the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Study Program (PJKR), Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP), Syiah Kuala University. This research employed a quantitative approach. The population consisted of all 2024 cohort students of the PJKR Study Program at Syiah Kuala University. The sample comprised 30 students selected using a purposive sampling technique. Arm muscle explosive power was measured using the Two-Hand Medicine Ball Put Test, while smash ability was assessed using the Smash Accuracy Test. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test. The results showed a moderate and statistically significant relationship between arm muscle explosive power and smash ability, with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.466 and a p-value = 0.009 (< 0.05). Furthermore, the hypothesis test indicated that r-calculated = 0.466 > r-table = 0.3610 and t-calculated = 2.79 > t-table = 2.048, confirming that the alternative hypothesis was accepted. It can be concluded that arm muscle explosive power has a moderate and significant influence on smash ability among students of the Physical Education, Health, and Recreation Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Syiah Kuala University. The greater the strength and explosive power of the arm muscles, the better the students' smash performance. Keywords: arm muscle explosive power, smash ability, table tennis.
