The Correlation of Height and Weight on Concentric Type of Muscle Endurance Malaysian Soccer Players from Sabah FC

Abstract

One of the components of physical fitness includes calculating height and weight which are converted into body mass index (BMI) units. This method can determine the classification of body weight. Body mass index (BMI) numbers are used to indicate weight categories. Our body activities are inseparable from the role of our lower limbs. The base of the lower movement is the hip or pelvis. This research method uses correlation. In statistics, the term "correlation" is defined as the relationship and degree of relationship between two or more variables. The existence of a relationship and the level of this variable is important because by knowing the level of the existing relationship, the researcher will be able to develop it according to the research objectives. The researcher took the entire population as a sample, which consisted of 25 male soccer athletes from Sabah FC. data in the form of BMI test scores and concentric type muscle endurance, the scores were compiled, processed and analyzed for their significance using SPSS. The Pearson Correlation Test aims to determine the level of closeness of the relationship between variables stated by the correlation coefficient. From the results of the data above, it is known that the significance value is 0.000 <0.05. So, it can be said that the two variables are related or correlated. So that it can be interpreted that the two variables of BMI and concentric muscle endurance have a significant relationship with the performance of Sabah FC soccer athletes. It is proven that r count is greater than r table.
