Study of physical fitness of weight training students: Motoric skills and motivation

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine the physical fitness of students who focused on leg muscle strength of students who used weight training on different motoric skills in terms of motivation. This study uses a survey research design using a quantitative approach with a comparative descriptive design. Where, the sample in this study amounted to 145 students obtained based on random sampling technique. The instrument used is the ACSPFT test for students and a questionnaire. The data analysis used included descriptive statistics and inferential statistics using ANOVA followed by independent sample ttest and multiple regression. The overall weight training system without considering the level of motoric skills is better to use when compared to the weight training system which is regulated on the student's leg muscle strength. And there is an interaction between weight training and motoric skills on the student's leg muscle strength in terms of motivation. Motoric skills possessed greatly affect the results to be achieved in this case is the leg muscle strength of the students, because with good motoric skills and supported by good motivation, these students can exercise correctly and maximally, compared to students who have low motoric skills and low motivation.
