Abstract
Physical fitness related to performance, contains elements: balance, speed of movement, agility, and coordination. Speed is the ability to move from one place to another in the shortest time possible. Jump rope training is related to physical fitness. Jump Rope Training is a fitness program that is proven to have useful techniques and competitive advantages. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Jump Rope Training on increasing speed in elementary school students. This research method uses a quasi-experimental method with pre-test and post-test design without a control group. The sample was elementary school students, the sample was selected according to the criteria for exclusion. The number of samples was 59 students. Before the jump rope training intervention, a test was conducted to measure the speed, ie 20 m spint. Jump Rope Training is done for 5 weeks in elementary school. The results of statistical data processing and analysis obtained probability values obtained before and after the 0.025 treatment. And the results of these measurements indicate that p <0.05, which means an increase in speed after being given Jump Rope Training. In conclusion, Jump Rope Training has an effect on increasing the speed of elementary school students.
