Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-There was something different about the dissertation exam for the Doctoral (S-3) Postgraduate Sports Science program at the State University of Surabaya (UNESA) on Wednesday (18/08/2021). Where the Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. H. Zainudin Amali, S.E., M.Sc., was also present as an examiner in the open test which was held online and offline (hybrid).
The exam was opened and led directly by the Chancellor of UNESA, Prof. Dr. Nurhasan, M. Case. who acts as chief examiner and Director of Postgraduate UNESA, Dr. Edy Mintarto, M.Kes who acted as secretary. Meanwhile, the examiners consisted of the Minister of Youth and Sports, Dr. H. Zainudin Amali, S.E., M.Si, Dr. Heryanto Nur Muhammad, S.Pd., M.Pd., Dr. Oce Wiriawan, M.Kes., and Dr. Ria Lumintuarso, M. Si. As for Prof. Dr. Hari Setijono M.Pd. and Dr. H. Arifuddin Usman, M.Kes acted as promoter and co-promoter, respectively.
Donny Ardy Kusuma, S. Pd., M. Kes., as promovendus explained his research entitled "The Effect of Plyometric Dorp Jumps Exercise on Muscle Myography, Vertical Jump Ability, Ground Reaction Forces, and Muscle Explosiveness". In his presentation, Donny said that athletes with high performance are athletes who have perfect and fast motor movements that can be achieved by training techniques using Plyometric Drop Jumps.
According to him, this technique is often used by athletes for special preparation before participating in tournaments, because it is relatively safe, easy to adapt, and only requires body weight and little equipment. The results showed that the height of the drop jump exercise will affect the hamstring muscles so that it will also affect the strength and power of these muscles.
The difference in the height of the drop jump also has a different effect on the rate of force development. While the best vertical jump results in this study were found in the drop jump exercise with a height of 45 cm compared to a height of 30 cm and 50 cm. One of the findings in the research was that there was a significant difference in the effect of the drop jump exercise with a height of 30 cm, 45 cm, 50 cm on vertical jumps, which resulted in better results at a height of 45 cm.
On that occasion, Zainudin Amali said that sport science is an important element in developing and advancing national sports. According to him, this research can be an important part of efforts to improve the effectiveness of athletes' training so that they are right on target and as expected.
He added, in order to encourage better national sports achievements in the future, it must be based on an appropriate and comprehensive grand design. The sports talents of children throughout Indonesia must be detected early, and educated, trained to become Indonesia's leading athletes both at the national and international levels. "Our sporting achievements at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are decent, but it was by accident, we should be able to do better by design," he added.
"Therefore, the government has compiled a National Sports Grand Design to accommodate quality talents scattered throughout the country," he said. "We need a good talent management based on sport science and science and technology to improve Indonesia's sporting achievements that are more brilliant, "he continued.
UNESA Chancellor Prof. Dr. Nurhasan., M.Kes on that occasion said that to get there, the government cannot go it alone. However, it requires collective work and collaboration involving the central government to the regions and cities, universities, sports federations, and other related parties. "We at UNESA are ready to fully support the Minister (Menpora, ed), we have a sports science center and have complete sports facilities and laboratories. Everyone is involved, we can definitely win and become champions," said the UNESA Chancellor. #SalamOlahraga (meds/zam)
