Abstract

Physical condition is a fundamental determinant of performance in combat sports, including Pencak Silat, particularly in the tanding category, which requires repeated high-intensity movements across multiple rounds. This study aimed to identify and describe the physical condition components of Pencak Silat athletes in the tanding category at Pagar Nusa YPM Academy. A descriptive quantitative design with a survey approach was employed. The population consisted of all active tanding athletes at the academy, and total sampling was applied, resulting in 10 participants. Data were collected through standardized physical fitness tests, including push-up (arm muscle strength), sit-up (abdominal muscle strength), squat test (leg muscle strength), beep test (VO₂max estimation), and 50-meter sprint (speed). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics in the form of mean scores and percentage distributions. The results indicated that arm muscle strength was predominantly in the moderate category (mean = 34.5 repetitions), while abdominal muscle strength showed the most favorable outcome, with 50% of athletes classified in the good category (mean = 36 repetitions). Leg muscle strength was evenly distributed between moderate and good categories (mean = 36.7 repetitions). Aerobic endurance was generally moderate (mean VO₂max = 39.1 ml/kg/min), and sprint speed showed varied distribution (mean = 7.94 seconds). Overall, the athletes’ physical condition ranged from moderate to good. However, improvements in aerobic capacity, explosive power, and speed through structured resistance, interval, and SAQ training are recommended to enhance competitive performance.
