Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to determine the relationship between arm and
shoulder muscle power and smash performance in volleyball. The research uses a
correlation method. The study population consists of 12 volleyball players from the
"Lascar Api-Api Badar Laksmana" team, using a saturated sampling technique. The
instruments used are the vertical jump test and smash test. The data obtained were
analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality tests, and t-tests. The normality test
results with Kolmogorov-Smirnov showed an asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value > 0.05,
indicating a normal distribution. Based on the Pearson product-moment correlation
analysis, the calculated correlation coefficient (r) is 0.838, with an r table value of
0.602. The correlation is positive, indicating that the higher the leg muscle power in
volleyball players, the better their smash performance, and conversely, the lower the leg
muscle power, the poorer their smash performance.
