Abstract

This cross-sectional study examined the influence of Peak Height Velocity (PHV) on agility and sprint performance in young pencak silat athletes. 20 athletes (11 females, 9 males; aged 11-15 years) underwent anthropometric assessments to estimate PHV using the Mirwald equation, with agility and sprint performance evaluated through the Illinois Agility Test and 20-meter sprint, respectively. Results revealed a significant negative correlation between PHV and agility (r = -0.458, p = 0.042), indicating that improved agility was associated with advancing maturation. At the same time, PHV showed a strong positive association with sprint performance (r = 0.650, p = 0.002). Male athletes demonstrated superior agility compared to females (p = 0.012), though no significant gender difference emerged in sprint times (p = 0.064). The findings establish PHV as a critical determinant of physical performance in adolescent pencak silat practitioners, with the maturation stage significantly influencing sport-specific skill development. These results emphasize the importance of incorporating biological maturation metrics, rather than relying solely on chronological age when designing training programs for youth martial artists. Coaches should consider athletes' PHV status to optimize agility and speed development while mitigating injury risks during growth spurts. The study provides empirical support for maturation-adjusted training protocols in combat sports, though longitudinal research is recommended to track performance trajectories across PHV phases and further validate these findings.

Abstract

Background: Peak height velocity (PHV) is a key indicator of biological maturity in youth athletes, strongly influencing neuromuscular development and physical performance. While PHV has been widely studied in sports science, its association with speed and agility in pencak silat—an Indonesian martial art that relies heavily on explosive movements and motor coordination—remains underexplored. Research Objectives: This study aimed to examine the association between PHV, speed, and agility in young pencak silat athletes and to discuss implications for maturity-based training programs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 53 athletes (21 males, 32 females; aged 11–15 years) from the Al Ghozaliyah Pencak Silat Training Center. PHV was estimated using the Mirwald equation from anthropometric measurements. Speed was assessed via a 20 m sprint test, and agility using the Illinois Agility Test. Pearson correlation and independent t-tests were performed to analyze associations and sex-based differences. Finding/Results: PHV showed a significant negative correlation with agility (r = –0.356, p = 0.009) and sprint speed (r = –0.341, p = 0.013), indicating that athletes past PHV performed better. A strong positive correlation was also found between agility and speed (r = 0.509, p < 0.001). Male athletes demonstrated superior sprint performance (p = 0.021), while females recorded slower agility times (p = 0.018). Conclusion: Biological maturity, as reflected by PHV, plays a significant role in shaping speed and agility in young pencak silat athletes. Training programs should therefore be individualized based on maturation status rather than chronological age, with emphasis on neuromuscular development during and after PHV to maximize performance potential and reduce injury risk. Future research should employ longitudinal designs with larger, multi-center samples and explore PHV’s influence on technical–tactical performance and the potential role of bio-banding in martial arts competitions.
