Abstract

This experimental study examined the effects of psychological skill training (PST), which is a breathing exercise on the accuracy of the penalty kick in soccer. This study involved thirty-two (n =32) members of a soccer club in primary school of Gombak district aged 10 to 12. They are randomly assigned to two different groups which are the treatment group (respiratory exercise) and control group (no exercise). The respiratory exercise program was conducted for 4 weeks, with an average of 3 times a week for the treatment group alone. The instrument used in this study has been adopted from the Penalty Precision Test (PPT) (Depdikbud, 1994) to measure the precision from kick to goal. The study used Independent T-Test to measure differences across these groups. The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the treatment group and control group in the results of the penalty kick accuracy test.
