Personality and Hydrodynamic Analysis of Finswimming Athletes: Bifins Relay Position in Central Java Province

Abstract

Athletes' performance, especially in basic finswimming techniques in diving, is an effort that athletes must have as a basic requirement for achievement. The research method is correlational on ex post facto data on the achievements of bifins relay diving athletes at the multi-event National Championship in Pupua. Independent variables: 1) hydrodynamic analysis of the bifins technique with waves of 5cm, 10cm, without waves, and resistance dynamometer. 2) Myers-Birggs Type Indicator (MBTI). Dependent variable: relay speed bifins 4 X 100 M. The results of the MBTI test indicators introvert, extrovert, Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, Feeling, Judging, Perceiving on the speed of the Bifins relay concluded that Personality does not have a significant influence on speed. Research results of 4 Bifins Relay athletes: hydrodynamic analysis test of Bifins movement technique at bottom sweep angle, inside sweep angle and leg angle have different criteria: effective. less effective, ineffective. Resistance test results of 4 athletes in position "A" with both arms straight, position "B" recovery with the left hand, position "C" recovery with the right hand using speeds of 1 m/hour, 1.25 m/hour, 1.50 m/hour, 1.75 m/hour hour, 2 m/hour shows that the four athletes have different resistance strengths. The results of the hydrodynamic analysis of speed in the athlete's left body position, recovery in position A and position C did not have a significant effect. The right body position and recovery position B have a significant effect on speed.

Conclude that every finswimming athlete has a different technical style, some have effective styles and some have ineffective styles. By understanding and mastering these techniques you can minimize obstacles and can produce great power. The personality traits of each athlete cannot be related to speed, because speed is related to physical and movement techniques.In statistical calculations related to personality (MBTI indicators), if they are connected to bifins relay speed, there is no significant effect, due to the minimal number of research samples.
