The effect of weight training with compound set method on strength and endurance among archery athletes

The compound set method aims to drill similar parts of muscles using different tools. The study's purpose was to determine how much impact weight training with compound set methods can give to the strength and endurance of archery athletes. The methodology of this research is using the methodology of experiment with one group of pre-test and post-test designs. The form of treatment in the experimental group by doing weight training with the compound set method with a dose of exercise carried out for 8 weeks with an intensity of 60-80% of 1 RM, 3-4 sets, 15-25 repetitions, and 1-2 minutes of rest between sets. The study population was Yogyakarta State University archery athletes selected via purposive sampling. The instrument used to measure muscle strength is the hand grip strength test. Meanwhile, to measure the upper, lower, and middle body for the endurance of muscular test, four kinds of test items were used namely bench jump, bent leg curl-ups, abdominal crunches, modified dips (man), and modified push-ups (woman). The data analysis technique used a normality test to determine whether the data were normally distributed, a homogeneity test of variation to measure the similarity of variance in the experimental group, and hypothesis testing using a t-test. The results of the t-test obtained a t-count value of 14,532 with a significance value of 0.000 (p
