Abstract

This study aimed to describe the body composition and physical fitness profile of PERSIPASI U-17 soccer players in Bekasi City. A descriptive quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was used. Participants were 11 male U-17 players who were actively involved in regular training. Body composition was assessed using a Karada Scan. Physical fitness was evaluated through field tests, including push-up, sit-up, agility run, sit-and-reach, standing broad jump, endurance run, and leg strength test. Results showed that players generally had BMI values within the normal to slightly above-normal range, with inter-individual variation in body fat and skeletal muscle mass. Most players demonstrated good to excellent upper-body and abdominal strength, high flexibility, and adequate aerobic endurance. However, agility, leg power, and leg strength were predominantly in the moderate to poor categories. These findings suggest that the current training program sufficiently develops endurance and general strength but needs to be refined to more specifically target agility and explosive lower-limb performance. In conclusion, the physical profile of PERSIPASI U-17 players is characterized by favorable body composition and several strong fitness components, yet there remains substantial room for improvement in agility, leg power, and leg strength through more focused and integrated training interventions.

Abstract

The increase in cases of overweight and obesity among adolescents is a serious challenge for public health in Indonesia. Low physical activity, high-calorie diets, and lack of nutritional knowledge are the main factors that affect the body composition and nutritional status of adolescents. This study aims to analyze the relationship between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity on the body composition of students at Yasfi Bekasi High School. The research method used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design on 114 respondents selected through total sampling. Data were collected through a nutritional knowledge questionnaire, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and an exercise intensity instrument, while body composition was measured using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method. Data analysis was performed descriptively and bivariately using the Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. The results showed that the majority of respondents had good nutritional knowledge (85.1%) and high physical activity (64.9%). A significant relationship was found between nutritional knowledge, physical activity, and exercise intensity with nutritional status (p < 0.05). Students with good nutritional knowledge and high physical activity tended to have a normal Body Mass Index (BMI), while respondents with low activity showed a tendency toward overweight. In conclusion, good nutritional knowledge, regular physical activity, and sufficient exercise intensity are an important combination in maintaining ideal body composition in adolescents. These findings emphasize the need for integrated nutrition education and physical activity promotion programs in schools to foster healthy lifestyles from an early age.
