Abstract
Life Kinetik training in Indonesia is still rarely applied in the training process, especially in coaching football. Whereas in European countries, Life Kinetik training is very popular to be done by all groups, including athletes. Football athletes in developed countries are very smart and have tactical playing skills and can make quick, precise, and accurate decisions. This study aims to examine the difference in influence between Life Kinetik training and conventional training on increasing concentration and football playing skills. This method used in this study is an experiment, with 90 football athletes subjects in one of the state universities in Indonesia. Through random selection subjects, 40 people were taken and the random assignment of subjects was divided into two, namely the experimental and control groups of 20 people each. The instrument to measure concentration was used the concentration grid test (CGT) and the instrument to measure football playing skills was used the games performance assessment instrument (GPAI). This study uses a pretest-posttest control group design. The data analysis technique used the non-parametric Mann Whitney Test with SPSS version 21. The results showed that there were significant differences in the effect of life kinetik training and conventional training on increasing concentration and football playing skills. Kinetic Life Training is better than conventional training towards increasing concentration and soccer playing skills.
