Then the result from the calculation of correlation between back’s flexibility () with the accuracy of jump smash () is obtained that while  with degree . It can be conclude that there is a significant connection between back’s flexibility with the accuracy of jump smash. Afterwards the result from the calculation of double correlation (R test) is obtained that  while  so,  and it’s mean  there is a significant connection between leg muscle’s power () and back’s flexibility () with the accuracy of jump smash ().
