Abstract
The Stroke technique was a way of hitting the badminton game to hit the shuttlecock into the opponent^s field. And one of the widest stroke techniques to attack and get a score in a badminton game. This research aimed to determine whether the physical component can affect the smash results in badminton. The research method used in this research was correlational research. The research subjects used 30 badminton athletes from the Jakarta Sports School. The test instruments used in this study were: 1) measuring waist flexibility using sit and reach test, 2) measuring coordination using the throwing and catching ball test on a wall, and 3) measuring arm muscle power. using a medicine throwing test, 4) to measure the results of the smash using a smash hit accuracy test. Meanwhile, for data analysis using simple and multiple correlational studies to measure the closeness of the relationship between variables. The results showed that the physical component affected the badminton smash results. This is indicated by the value of the closeness of each component, namely: waist flexibility (rx1y) = 0.57, coordination (rx2y) = 0.68, and arm muscle explosive power (rx3y) = 0.67. The results of the contribution of physical components vary depending on the physical components, such as flexibility of the hips contributing at 32%, coordination at 46%, and arm muscle explosive power at 46%. So based on the results of the study it can be concluded that physical components (including waist flexibility, coordination, and arm explosive power) affect the results of badminton players^ smashes.
