Abstract

The objective of this research is to determine the effect of squat-thrust, sit-up, and leg power training

sampling technique was total sampling with the ordinal pairing division method. The research
instrument was a heading test with a validation and reliability level of 0.746 and 0.818 while to analyze
the data using the t-test.
Based on the research findings, there is a significant effect of training with squat-thrust, sit-up, and leg
power on the heading ability of SSB Persopi Elang Timur students in the age group of 13 years old. If
you look at the mean difference at 1.66 where the mean pretest jump heading is at 2.50 and the posttest
jump heading increases at 3.58. And the pretest normal heading is at 3.08 and the posttest normal
heading increases at 5.42. Hence, it can be concluded that training with squat thrust, sit ups, and leg

jump heading at 66.68% while for normal heading at 54.12%. While for the control group, the pretest
