The purpose of this study was to analyze the physical quality of youth pencak silat athletes in terms of speed, power and strength. The sample of this study was athletes Pencak silat category of young male and female numbered 40 people consisting of 20 male and 20 female. Sampling techniques use purposive samples because it considers the characteristics of age and gender. The quasi-experimental method with the quantitative approach used in this research, The constellation of this research is pretest-posttest one group design. Data analysis techniques use descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive analysis aims to describe the characteristics of this research while inferential analysis using paired one sample test at a significant level α= 0.05, overall data analysis used is SPSS program version 20.0. The results of this study showed that the quality of physical condition of athletes in the youth competition category is reviewed from speed, power, and strength in the good category. However, in this study, the need to further identify anthropometrics, and psychology athletes to determine the achievements of adolescent martial arts match categories according to gender characteristics.

Pencak silat is the dominant sport using the feet and hands. Kicks in pencak silat require speed to produce points, the faster the kick is made, the more difficult it will be to stop, fend off, or catch. This study aims to describe the difference in front kick speed between two male and female athletes of the Indonesian national team who are the 2022 pencak silat world champions. The research method used in quantitative descriptive research with the subjects of 2022 world champion pencak silat athletes in male and female numbers. This research instrument uses a Fujifilm XT 4 camera with camera placement at a distance of 5 meters from the arena. The video results were analyzed using Kinovea 0.9.4 software by calculating the speed of the subject's Front Kicks. The male sample produced an average speed of 3.25 m/s with an average breakdown of a 1.82-meter kick distance and an average travel time of 0.56 seconds. The female sample produced an average speed of 2.71 m/s with details of an average 1.90-meter kick distance and an average travel time of 0.70 seconds. Future research is expected to examine kinematic parameters in other techniques in pencak silat so that they know more about things that can support the performance of pencak silat athletes.
