“ACTIVITY PROFILE BETWEEN WINNERS AND LOSERS IN MALE SILAT OLAHRAGA CLASS C SEA GAMES 2015”

ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study is to describe the detailed about activity profile between winner and loser in male silat olahraga class C Sea Games 2015. Using video recording of 4 matches’ during Sea Games 2015 silat olahraga was notated to identify 14 different types of action as well as the start and end of the action periods. The activity profile between winner and loser will analyse using descriptive analysis. The notational analysis was used to record all the outcomes between the entire exponents such as hit target, hit elsewhere and miss opponent indicators. The analysis can be seen in the table provided. The data showed that Vietnam more conquer for 3 matches as it have higher tactical skill during matches. The outcomes of this study would be useful and give a benefit in development specific training programmed to improve more tactical skill in future matches.

.INTRODUCTION
Pencak Silat is another martial art stemming from Malaysia and Indonesia heritage. It translates to “fighting by many techniques of self-defence” and has four main components which are mental spirit, art and culture, self-defence and sport. Pencak and Silat have the same meanings and are integral parts of the culture of the Malay ethnic group, who are the native inhabitants in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei Darussalam. Pencak Silat brings to light very different subjectivities, inter-subjectivities, and ways of objectifying the body in regional- and national-level practice (Wilson, 2009).
Sport of silat consists two categories which are artistic and contact (Aziz, Tan, & Teh, 2002). Each match consists of three rounds of two minutes with each one minute’s interval between rounds. point are awarded for toppling an opponent, successful defensive blocks and offensive punches and kick to the chest, abdomen and flanks, leg sweeps and throws (International Pencak Silat Federation, 1999). in Silat Olahraga (contact), the motion can be characterized into 13 different of motion such as fake kick, fake punch, block and sweep, block and kick, block and punch, self-release, dodge, sweep, topple, catch, block, kick and punch (Mohamed Shapie, Oliver, O’donoghue, & Tong, 2013).
  
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Male group from class C is the team that are selected to be a sample for this analysis. The data analysis has been collected from 28th Sea Games Singapore. The first male match was a quarter-final and final of men tanding class C of the 60kg weight category between Vietnam and Singapore. The second male match was a between Thailand and Vietnam. Third video match is between Laos and Vietnam and the last match is between Laos and Philippines.
The sources of match were from YouTube. The system was used to carry out 14 different types of player motion performed as well as the start and end of the actions periods. Silat exponent motion was subjectively categorized based on Shapie M.N.M. et al (2013) for silat competition. The outcome from the motion analysis is hit target, hit elsewhere and miss opponent.
Motion categories
According to (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013), Silat exponent’s motions were coded into 14 different types of categories and were defined as follows:
·         Punch:
The punch ‘tumbuk’ attack is done by a hand with a clos -ed fist hitting the target. In silat punching is often used to fightthe opponent. It can be a straight punch ‘tumbuk lurus’ oruppercut ‘sauk’ to the exponent body’s (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Kick:
The kick ‘tendang / terajang’ is an attacking movement which is performed with one leg or two legs simultaneously. A kick can be aimed at any target. It can be front kick ‘tendang depan’, side-kick ‘depak’ or semi-circular side kick ‘tendang lengkar’ (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Block:
The blocking movements begin with the posture position ‘sikap pasang’: the exponent stands straight with his hands around his body or close to his chest. Blocking or parrying ‘tangkisan’ can be done using arms, elbows and legs with the purpose to block off or striking back at any attack (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Catch:
The catch ‘tangkapan’ is done by using the hand to obstruct the opponent from carrying out an attack. The silat exponent is able to prevent himself from being attacked by pointing the attack which he has caught to another direction. A catch which twists or drags the opponent is forbidden. Also, a catch which could break the part which is being held such as the leg and  waist is also forbidden. These regulations exist to protect the silat exponent’s (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Topple:
There are various ways of toppling down one’s opponent. For example, a silat exponent ‘pesilat’ can either push, shove the opponent’s back leg from the bag or from the side, shove, hit, kick, strike or punch to make the opponent lose his balance. Every fall is considered valid as long as the silat exponent topples his opponent down without wrestling or he is able to overpower the opponent whom he has brought down (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Sweep:
Swiping ‘sapuan’ involves attacking an opponent’s leg which is on the ground to unstabilise him and bring down to the ground. A silat exponent can perform this attacking movement either with his right or left leg, Hence, front sweep ‘sapuan depan’ is done by swinging the leg to the front to push an opponent’s front leg, while back sweep ‘sapuan belakang’ is carried out by swinging the leg backward to hit the back leg (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Dodge:
The evade ‘elakan’ technique is carried out by silat exponent when he tries to evade an attack. This technique does not require the silat exponent to touch the opponent in fending off the attack. They are many ways of carrying out his defensive movement such as dodging ‘gelek’, retreat ‘mundur’, evasion to the side ‘elak sisi’, bending ‘elak serung’, jumping ‘lonjak’, ducking ‘susup’ and etc (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Self-Release:
Self-release ‘lepas tangkapan’ technique is a technique to unlock any clinch or catch from an opponent (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Block and Punch:
The blocking technique is used to block any hand or leg attack from the opponent and followed by counter attack using the hand to punch the opponent (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Block and Kick:
The blocking technique is used to block any hand or leg attack from the opponent and followed by counter attack using the leg to kick the opponent (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Block and Sweep:
The blocking technique is used to block any hand or leg attack from the opponent and followed by counter attack using sweeping technique to the opponent (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).

·         Fake Punch:
An action which is silat exponent intends to confuse the opponent using a fake punch to break his opponent’s defensive posture (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013)

·         Fake Kick:
An action which is silat exponent intends to confuse the opponent using a fake kick to break his opponent defensive posture (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013)

·         Others:
Both silat exponents are either in posture position ‘sikap pasang’ and coming close to each other using silat step pattern ‘pola langkah’. All the activities are considered high intensity except for others which at that time both silat exponents are in low intensity periods (Mohamed Shapie et al., 2013).


REALIBILITY
The author analysed all the activities and simultaneously classified each change of motion in a single match. Two observations were done separated by 48 hours. It requires experienced silat practitioners to analyse the data as the movement of both exponents is fast, needing close inspection. The classification of movement was subjective with work being classified according to the instruction given by the referee.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
The observation of the data is collected and frequency counted. All the raw data collected from the all matches use the system produce by Shapie at al 2013 statistical analysis was conducted using (SPSS) Statistical package social science version 21. A descriptive analysis was used to determine the activity profile between the winner and loser in silat matches in male class C in Sukan Sea 2015.

RESULT
Table 1, 4 and 7 shows the action performed by the contestant and their outcomes in the match for 3 matches in male class C. Meanwhile table 2, 5 and 8 describe the frequency profile of actions for the 2 contestants. And last one table 3, 6 and 9 show the calculation of the standard deviation and means for all group has been analyse in this research. A descriptive analyse was used to determine the activity profile between the winner and loser in matches in male class C and it revealed there have a different in term of the action outcomes between winner and loser.

DISCUSSION
The data collected from 28th SEA Games Singapore 2015, men match class C Vietnam VS Thailand, class C Vietnam VS Singapore, class C Laos VS Philippine and men class C class C VS Laos VS Vietnam has shown that the winner from Vietnam make more action compare to the loser side base on total action profile. But for the matches between Thailand and Vietnam, Thailand is disqualified in round 3 because Thailand athletes harm Vietnam athletes and cause an injury. Based on the result, it can conclude that the winning athlete had on their best performance which is in attack and during defending techniques. In this match, the Vietnamese athlete use both upper and lower body part to make a movement and the athlete is really good in both at punching and kicking than other techniques. The tactical used by Vietnamese silat’s athlete is more on kicking and topple because they are focusing on getting point even though some of round in the match they lose several points.
Most of the winner uses their tactic and knows how to make self-defence very well from being attacked and always find the chance to attack the opponent such as topple down which is the fighter use their leg or hand to let the opponent falling down to the floor then after that the fighter will get the point (Shapie, M. N. M. & Elias, 2015). All pesilat had an equal level of confident, technical and tactical is more important in order to ensure the success.
when see in frequency of table in the first match between Vietnam (red) and Singapore (blue), the fighter from Vietnam got higher score which is from 5 kick on the target he made, 2 blocking, 1 topple and 5 sweep. For the second match Thailand made a different tactical with more to punching with 7 times, 6 kicking on the target and 2 catch. In this match, the athletes used punch more and kick. The third match is when Laos lose to Vietnam because the athlete give a few chance to Vietnam’s athlete to attack him. He prefers to defend himself and made him from attack the opponents.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it can conclude that every athlete has same fitness level but the tactical and technique makes them different. The current study has provided a great understanding of the information for the silat by looking at the activity involved in competition. Both of the exponents performed more high intensity actions than low intensity actions. From the video that have been observed, what can conclude is that weakness of the loser athlete is they had lack of speed and power on kicking, punching, topple down and sweep.
In Silat points are majorly contributed by doing the high intensity actions rather than low intensity actions such as kicking, punching and others. The frequency of attacking and defending also has a range by the exponent. The loser kicks more than the winner but the kicking target is off and not accurate to the points gain area. Although the winner kick less than the loser, the accuracy of the kick is clear to the target area. So that, this study can provide knowledge on collecting detailed information in silat match to analysed the opponent or the athletes themselves to make a proper training plan to win the matches in next future
