Analysis of Motion Suitability in Breaststroke Swimming Techniques at the Bungo Aquatic Center Muara Bungo Club

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the suitability of breaststroke swimming technique movements in members of the Bungo Aquatic Center Muara Bungo Club. Breaststroke swimming techniques have complex movement characteristics and require good coordination between hand, foot, and breathing movements.

 This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with the implementation of test surveys and documentation. The subjects in this study were 20 club members from the age of 7 – 17 years. The data was analyzed based on indicators of basic breaststroke techniques which included start, body position when sliding, arm movements, leg movements, breathing techniques and movement coordination,

The results of the study showed that the average total swimming score from the analysis of the suitability of breaststroke swimming techniques had an average of 4 with the appropriate category, in the starting  phase the average score was 4 with the appropriate category, the body position phase when sliding had an average score of 4.02 with the appropriate category, the arm movement phase had an average score of 4.04 with the appropriate category, the arm movement phase had an average score with the appropriate category 4.1,  The breathing taking phase had an average score of 4.4 with the appropriate category, and the coordination movement phase had an average of 4.1 with the appropriate category. The suitability of breaststroke swimming movements in the members of the Bungo Aquatic Center Muara Bungo club is included in the category "Appropriate".
