Abstract

This study was motivated by the importance of shooting skills in petanque as a contributing factor to victory, as well as the hypothesis that physical characteristics such as palm length may influence ball control during shooting. However, it has not yet been empirically determined whether there is a significant relationship between these two variables among petanque athletes in Aceh. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between palm length and shooting skills among petanque athletes in Aceh. This study employed a quantitative approach using a correlational method. The study population consisted of twenty-eight petanque athletes from Aceh, and the entire population was used as the sample since the number was less than one hundred. The instruments used included measuring palm length with a tape measure and a shooting skill test using a target board. Data analysis techniques included the product-moment correlation test, significance test, and coefficient of determination. The results showed a correlation coefficient of r = 0.34, indicating a weak positive relationship between the two variables. The hypothesis test, using a one-tailed test at α = 0.05, yielded t_calculated = 1.8435, which exceeded the critical value of t_table = 1.706, indicating a statistically significant relationship. The coefficient of determination showed that palm length contributed 11.56% to shooting skill. Based on these results, the research hypothesis was accepted under the one-tailed testing framework.
