Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Kajian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan kesan arahan tumpuan terhadap aktiviti otot dan prestasi senaman squat. Seramai 36 orang pelajar perempuan universiti awam telah menyertai  kajian  ini  dan dibahagikan  secara  rawak  kepada  tiga  kumpulan,  iaitu  12 orang bagi setiap kumpulan. Tiga kumpulan tersebut adalah arahan tumpuan dalaman (TD), tumpuan luaran (TL) dan kawalan. Arahan yang diberikan kepada kumpulan TL adalah  membayangkan  seperti  duduk  di  atas  kerusi  manakala  kumpulan  TD  diarah untuk   menumpukan   kepada   pergerakan   dan kedudukan   anggota   tubuh  badan. Elektromiografi  (EMG)  digunakan  untuk  mengukur  aktiviti  otot  semasa  melakukan senaman  squat  manakala  tapisan  pergerakan  Movement  Competency Screen  (MCS) pula digunakan sebagai kriteria untuk mengukur prestasi perlakuan teknik squat yang betul.  Tempoh  intervensi  dijalankan  selama  enam  minggu.  ANOVA  3  kumpulan (arahan TD, arahan TL, kawalan) x 3 jenis otot (vastus lateralis, bicep femoris, gluteus maximus)  digunakan  untuk  menganalisis  perbezaan  bacaan  EMG  pada  otot  yang terlibat mengikut kumpulan pada ujian pasca dan pengekalan. Ujian awal menunjukkan tiada perbezaan signifikan bagi ketiga-tiga kumpulan semasa ujian pra. Dapatan utama kajian menunjukkan bahawa TL memberi kesan yang signifikan dan lebih baik daripada TD dan kawalan terhadap ketiga-tiga aktiviti otot. Dapatan kajian juga menunjukkan terdapat    interaksi antara    kumpulan    dengan    otot    dalam    ujian    pengekalan, F(4,66)=10.439,p
