Abstract

This study was motivated by the importance of physical fitness in supporting the performance of pencak silat athletes, particularly in terms of endurance, speed, agility, and strength. However, research on the physical fitness profiles of college-level pencak silat athletes in relation to performance evaluation remains limited. This study aims to determine the physical condition profile of athletes from the Pencak Silat Student Club at Semarang State University at the 2025 Provincial Student Sports Week (POMPROV). The study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive design. The sampling technique used was total sampling, with a sample size of 16 athletes, comprising 6 male and 10 female athletes. The research instruments utilized physical fitness tests, including the beep test for endurance, the 30-meter sprint for speed, the T-test for agility, as well as the bench press and back squat for strength. The results indicate that the speed and agility components of the athletes were predominantly in the “good” category, for both the male and female groups. The endurance component for male athletes tended to fall into the “good” category, while female athletes were predominantly in the “poor” category. Regarding the strength component, the results of the bench press and back squat showed that most athletes remained in the “adequate” to “poor” categories, particularly among the female group. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the physical condition of UNNES Pencak Silat Club athletes in the speed and agility components is classified as good; however, improvements are still needed in the aspects of aerobic endurance and muscle strength through a more structured, specific, and sustained training program to support the improvement of athletes’ performance and achievements in future competitions.
