| Journal of Sports Science and Physical Education 5(2): 53-60, 2016 – Many previous studies focus on attention has consistently demonstrated that an external focus (movement effect) enhances motor performance and learning relative to an internal focus (body movements). However, the effectiveness of the external focus direction and internal focus on the press behind neck lift not yet again compared among the weightlifter. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the three conditions (external focus, internal focus and control) that brings the best performance in the press behind neck. Besides that, a total of 30 athletes Selangor weightlifters performed the pre-test before they are divided into treatment groups (external focus and internal focus) and a control group. There are changes in the score in force between the test scores (pre, post and retention test) and the group will be analyzed using Two Way ANOVA Repeated Measure. The results showed that, there are the main effect of testing, F(2, 54) = 1671.065 p = 0.001 means there is a significant difference between pre-test and post-test . There is a main effect for group, F (2, 27) = 16,646, p = 0.001. Meanwhile, there was a significant interaction between the test group f (4. 54) = 378,732 p = 0.001. There are no significant differences between the three groups during the pre-test. However, in the post-test found an external focus groups (M = 51.5 kg, SP = 7.4) and an internal focus group (M = 49.5kg, SP = 6.6) is better and has significant differences to the control group (M = 30.5kg, SP= 6.9). Besides that, the external focus group retention test (M= 59.5 kg, SP=6.0) is better and has a significant difference compared with internal focus (M= 43.2kg, SP = 5.9) and the control group (M= 30.1, SP = 6.3). Therefore, the overall direction of a focus of external forces show better performance compared to foc |
