Abstract

Physical condition is a major factor in supporting the performance of handball athletes. This study aims to determine the level of physical condition of female athletes of the Handball UKM of the Islamic University of Riau. The study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. The sample consisted of 20 athletes with a total sampling technique. The research instruments included arm and shoulder muscle strength tests (hand dynamometer), arm and shoulder muscle endurance tests (push-ups), speed tests (50-meter run), agility tests (shuttle run), and general endurance tests (15-minute run). Data analysis used descriptive statistics in the form of percentages and norm categorization. The results showed that the average level of physical condition of athletes was 5.2 which was in the sufficient category (80%). The dominant component was arm and shoulder muscle endurance (65% in the very good category), while the lowest component was general endurance (75% in the poor category). It was concluded that the physical condition of female athletes of the Handball UKM of the Islamic University of Riau still needs improvement, especially in the aspect of cardiovascular endurance.
