Analisis Kondisi Fisik Siswa Ekstrakurikuler Futsal di SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jember

Abstract

Sports are a necessity for humans in life to maintain good physical health and well-being. The importance of physical fitness varies for each individual in achieving success in sports. One crucial factor in achieving success in sports is the mastery of techniques, tactics, physical fitness, and mental abilities required by an athlete. According to the theory presented, maintaining good and optimal physical fitness requires appropriate training that is well-designed and tailored to the needs of the specific sport. The objective of this research is to analyze the physical fitness of extracurricular futsal students at SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jember. This research adopts a qualitative descriptive method, which aims to understand naturally occurring phenomena scientifically. The sample consists of 9 futsal extracurricular students from SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Jember. The research instrument used in this study is the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). The results of the study show that out of the 9 subjects in Jember, all were able to pass the first level of the test. However, in the second level, four subjects could not complete it, mainly due to their slender or small body size. In the standard level, there were three subjects who did not perform well, indicating that their physical condition was weak, possibly because, at the age of 15, they were not adequately trained or accustomed to running. On the other hand, two subjects out of the nine reached the highest level, signifying their superior physical fitness compared to others, although it is worth noting that their body size was on the heavier side, indicating room for improvement.
