Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of arm power, agility and eye-hand and foot coordination in performing arm slamming skills in wrestling athletes in West Java Province. The population that was reached in this study were all wrestling athletes in the West Java area, which consisted of 30 freestyle wrestling athletes. Determination of the sample using a saturated sample, meaning that the entire affordable population is used as a research sample. The data analysis technique used is descriptive analysis and path analysis with the help of SPSS version 21 computer program with a significant level of 95% or = 0.05. The results showed that: The direct effect given by the arm power variable (X1) on the eye, hand and foot coordination variable (X3) was -0.414. Then the direct effect given by the agility variable (X2) on the eye, hand and foot coordination variable (X3) is -0.357. Then the direct effect given by the arm power variable (X1) on the arm swing skill variable (Y) is 0.546. Then the direct effect given by the agility variable (X2) on the arm swing skill variable (Y) is 0.638. And lastly, the direct effect given by the eye, hand and foot coordination variable (X3) on the arm slamming skill variable (Y) is 0.351. Sobel test calculations (Sobel Test) obtained that the value of one-tailed probability (One-tailed probability) of 0.029 <0.05. So it can be concluded that the arm power variable (X1) has an indirect effect through eye coordination, hands and feet (X3) against arm slam skills (Y). Then the results of the Sobel test calculation (Sobel Test) obtained that the one-tailed probability value is 0.0730 > 0.05. So it can be concluded that the agility variable (X2) has no indirect effect through eye, hand and foot coordination (X3) on arm slamming skills (Y).   Keywords: Arm Power, Agility, Eye, Hand and Foot Coordination, Arm Kick Skills, Wrestling

Background/Context Students’ ready engagement in electronic games and the relative ease with which they sometimes learn complex rules have intrigued some educators and learning researchers. There has been growing interest in studying electronic gaming with the aim of trying to work out how learning principles that are evident in games can be harnessed to make everyday academic learning more engaging and productive. Many studies of students’ learning while gaming have yielded recommendations for teaching and learning in regular classrooms. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus The intent of this work is to describe various ways in which students’ ready engagement in, and quick learning when playing, electronic games have been assumed to provide useful guidance to educators. This goal is pursued by means of analysis of the relevant research and the prescriptions for classroom teaching and learning that have emerged it. Close critical examination of these attempts to infer educational practices from electronic gaming yields three general strategies that have been pursued. The focus of this study has been on evaluating the relative value of these three general strategies. Research Design This is an analytic article that provides a description of an array of attempts to derive educational principles from the perceived success of students’ learning while they are engaged in electronic games, a meta-analytic organization of these attempts into three general categories, and an evaluation of each of these categories’ success in contributing to education or failure to do so. Conclusions/Recommendations The analysis leads to the conclusion that the three main approaches to understanding the connection between gaming and education have included, first, seeing games as teaching desirable learning skills through the simple act of playing; second, a focus on the integration of curriculum content into games; and, third, an effort to abstract learning principles embedded in electronic games and applying these to educational content. Close examination of each of these three approaches in turn leads to the conclusion that the third approach is the one that holds the greatest potential value for educational practice.
