Abstract

This research aims to make a new contribution in developing jump serve skills in volleyball among physical education students at FKIP UNSAP Sumedang, with a focus on hand-eye coordination. This research approach is based on a correlational design which aims to explore the relationship between eye-hand coordination as an independent variable and jump serve skills as a dependent variable. The data collection method involved a ball throwing test to measure eye-hand coordination, while jump serve skills were measured through a serve test using the jump serve technique. This research uses a quantitative approach with descriptive statistical data analysis techniques to describe sample characteristics and data distribution, as well as inferential statistics to test hypotheses and identify a significant relationship between eye-hand coordination and jump serve skills. The main findings show a significant positive relationship between hand-eye coordination and service accuracy and strength, with a correlation coefficient reaching 0.655. These results confirm that improving hand-eye coordination has the potential to increase consistency and effectiveness in the jump serve technique. The implication of this research is the importance of including exercises that focus on developing visual-motor perception in volleyball training programs. This holistic integration not only enhances technical skills but also supports the athlete's comprehensive development on the field. Thus, these findings may aid in the development of more effective and evidence-based training methodologies to improve serve quality in volleyball in academic settings. © 2024 by authors, all rights reserved.
