Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the levels of achievement motivation and physical fitness among soccer athletes representing Pidie Regency at PORA. The research employed an evaluative research design with a quantitative approach. The population consisted of all 22 soccer athletes registered for PORA, and due to the limited population size, total sampling was applied. Achievement motivation was measured using a Likert-scale questionnaire, while physical fitness was assessed through a 2.4 km running test (Cooper test). Data were analyzed using categorical scale classification and percentage analysis. The results showed that the average achievement motivation score was 131.68, categorized as moderate. Specifically, 13.63% of athletes were classified as having low motivation, 27.28% moderate motivation, and 59.09% high motivation. Meanwhile, the average physical fitness score was 11.14, which fell into the good category. The distribution indicated that 13.64% of athletes were in the low category, 50% moderate, 18.18% good, and 18.18% very good. These findings suggest that although physical fitness levels were generally good, achievement motivation still requires further enhancement to support optimal competitive performance.
