Biomechanics in Woodball

Abstract

This research aims to determine the level of knowledge and implementation of biomechanics in woodball sports. The research approach used is a quantitative descriptive approach. The subjects of this research were referees, athletes and woodball coaches with a total of 33 respondents. The instrument used in this research is a questionnaire containing two indicators, namely the level of knowledge and implementation of biomechanics. Based on the results of the data analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the level of knowledge of woodball players regarding biomechanics is very good regarding several aspects of biomechanics, namely contribution, anatomy, mechanical approaches, determining training programs and contributions to sports performance. The section on the implementation of biomechanics in woodball shows how the role of biomechanics influences the improvement of woodball movements. The answers from woodball players show that woodball players have implemented biomechanics in woodball, both by reducing the risk of injury and improving the quality of the training program. When using applications used in biomechanics, such as the kinovea/darfis application, woodball players are not yet fully able to operate them to analyze woodball movements.
