Gating Analysis on Woodball: in Terms of Biomechanics

The purpose of this study was to analyze the gating motion of woodball athletes in terms of biomechanics. The method used in this study was descriptive quantitative with a total sample of 8 athletes participating in this study. This study has passed the Ethical Clearance of Universitas Negeri Semarang, and all athletes are pleased to participate in the research to completion by signing the informed consent form. Analysis data was obtained through video recording on the gating woodball movement and analyzed using Kinovea software version 0.8.27. The results found an average age of 21.00 ± 1.07 years, with an average height of 164.63 ± 9.50 cm and a weight of 56.50 ± 9.04 kg. Kinematic data for gating woodball with a gating speed of 0.48 ± 0.07 m/s, with a time series of movements reaching 1.3 ± 0.18 seconds. The conclusion in this study stated that the gating motion analysis of woodball from the biomechanics aspect view in the Appropriate category. However, it is necessary to improve the speed of the stroke to be more effective and accurate about the gate. Future study is expected to add kinetic data and video recording in motion analysis through the sagittal and frontal sides.
