Abstrak

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) dapat memicu aktivasi serabut otot melalui arus listrik yang disalurkan melalui elektroda ke otot target. Penggunaan EMS juga telah banyak dilakukan pada atlit kompetitif dari berbagai cabang olahraga. Meskipun EMS telah diterapkan di berbagai cabang olahraga, hanya sedikit penelitian yang meneliti dampaknya secara khusus pada atlet renang, sehingga penelitian ini penting untuk mengisi kekosongan tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas EMS Butterfly dalam meningkatkan kecepatan dan performa atlet renang pemula dan membandingkannya dengan metode latihan konvensional. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain eksperimen satu kelompok pre-test post-test yang melibatkan 21 atlet renang pemula (kelompok perlakuan = 14, kelompok kontrol = 7), yang menerima perlakuan EMS selama 15 menit sebelum latihan rutin dua kali seminggu selama satu bulan. Kecepatan renang diukur dengan menggunakan stopwatch. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok perlakuan mengalami penurunan waktu tempuh yang signifikan dengan rata-rata 14 detik (p<0,05) dibandingkan dengan kelompok kontrol yang hanya mengalami penurunan sekitar 3,71 detik (p>0,05). Uji statistik menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan pada kecepatan dan konsistensi kinerja kelompok perlakuan. Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa EMS Butterfly efektif dalam meningkatkan performa renang para atlet pemula, terutama dalam hal kecepatan dan pemulihan. Temuan ini merekomendasikan untuk mengintegrasikan EMS ke dalam program pelatihan profesional dan melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk mengeksplorasi efek jangka panjangnya pada atlet di berbagai tingkat kinerja.
