Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: This research is motivated by the inability to maximize the shooting performance of petanque athletes from the One Eleven Junior Cilacap team, due to a lack of proper training models. The study aims to determine the effect of target practice on the shooting ability of petanque athletes. The training aims to familiarize athletes with accurately throwing boules towards other boules. The research used an experimental method with a one-group pre-test post-test design. Test instruments included shooting stations numbered 1 to 5 and distances of 6, 7, 8, and 9 meters. The sample consisted of 15 petanque athletes from the One Eleven Junior team in Cilacap Regency, selected through purposive sampling. Results of the t-test analysis showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant effect of target practice on the athletes’ shooting ability. The average pre-test score was 2.00, while the post-test score was 8.20, showing an improvement of 6.20. Conclusion: The target shooting training model significantly improves the shooting accuracy of One Eleven Junior petanque athletes in Cilacap Regency.
