Speed is the ability of a muscle or group of muscles to respond pressure, height, weight, and BMI of female students and male
students did not obtain a meaningful difference and obtained
to stimulation in the fastest time possible. Speed of motion is

in the fastest time possible. The speed of a reaction is one's
ability to respond to a stimulus in the shortest time possible. Tabel 2. Hypothesis testing of Pre-Test - Post-Test

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Jump
Rope Training on increasing speed in elementary school
students
The research method is a Quasi Experiment method with pre
and post test design without a control group to test the effect of
Jump Rope Training on speed in elementary school children.
Performed in April-May 2019 at Cinere 02 Public Elementary
School. Samples were taken from populations that met the
following inclusion criteria: 1) Active elementary school
students, 2) Ages 8-12 years, 3) willing to be sampled (with
parental consent). And exclusion criteria: 1) Suffering from
serious illnesses such as: heart, asthma, vertigo, anemia, and so
on, 2) Have had surgery in the last 3 months, 3) Are injured or
have experienced a fracture, 4) Are being sampled for other
studies. Whereas the drop out criteria: 1) Did not meet the
required criteria, 2) The sample was not present during the
entire research process, 3) Being in an unsuitable body
condition during implementation, 4) Taking drugs, 5) In a state
after 30 minutes of eating before practice, 6) The sample states
that resign from research, 7) Injury during research. Random
sampling. Before and after the jump rope training, vital sign
checks and speed measurements are carried out with the 20
mater sprint parameters in a physical fitness test series. Jump
rope training according at the spesified dose
treatment is 0.025. And the results of these measurements
indicate that p <0.05 is interpreted as an increase in speed
after Jump Rope Training.
The results of this study found the effect of jump rope training
on speed on Cinere 02 Elementary School students conducted
t-test, as a condition of the t-test to do a normality and
homogeneity test. The effect of Jump rope training on speed
on Cinere 02 Elementary School students was normal and
homogeneous distribution. And the results of this study
indicate that there is a change in the effect of Jump rope
training on speed on Cinere 02 Elementary School students,
with a probability value of 0.025 and the results show p <0.05
which is interpreted as an increase in speed after Jump rope
training
Jump rope training can increase leg speed3. Factors that can
affect speed include height, age, genetics, weight, sex, and
physical fitness. Factors that influence the provision of Jump
Rope Training are age that can increase at any age level, a
lighter weight will result in higher speeds, and the longer the
legs the longer the steps and the effect on speed.
It is known that there is an increase in speed in male students
with a value of 3.4%. While the speed of female students
increased by 3.3%. It can be seen that male students are
superior in increasing speed because men have the hormone
testosterone which can produce large muscle fibers, so that
male muscles become stronger and can work faster than
women.

Based on the results of the analysis of research that has been done, it can be concluded that: 1) Jump rope training can increase the
speed on Elementary School students which is quite significant, 2) The results of this study indicate that the speed of male students is
better than that of female students.
