Abstract: The National Sports Week is the most prestigious Multi Event at the national level in Indonesia, in PON

2016 Judo West Java team managed to become the overall champion by collecting 12 gold medals. This

research is based on the effort in creating a good athlete and what needs to be prepared for each stage. In

fact, for the achievement targets that must be achieved by athletes at each stage until now there is still no

data that can be used as a reference or benchmark target. So the data to be used as a reference to find out

what needs to be met by athletes at Pelatda level is needed. The problem that the authors propose in this

thesis is how to profile the physical condition of athletes Pelatda PON Judo West Java in 2016 and the

dominant physical components required by judo athletes. The method used in this study was descriptive

method. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the physical condition of West Javanese

Judo athletes in Pelatda PON 2016. The result of the analysis obtained from the athletes physical condition

showed that the average physical condition for male athletes is 55% and that for female athletes is 57%. Of

the 16 types of physical test conditions, the core stability test is the most successful test result. While half

squats are the weakest type of test. Of all the tests that have been implemented, it can be concluded that

athlete’s judo of West Java in PON 2016 has a good core stability but has weakness in the leg strength.

1 INTRODUCTION

Judo achievement in West Java PON 2016 get

satisfactory results with 12 gold medal collection.

Based on the results of interviews on Sunday

(11/16/2014) at the Judo dojo of West Java, Judo

Jabar Coach, Maulana said: "To maintain the

achievement in PON 2016 we put more emphasis on

physical strength for athletes because the key to the

success of Judo West Java team is the coach team

always pays attention to the physical aspects of the

athletes, in addition I always see the video on the

youtube world championships and if there is a new

movement I apply it in judo team of West Java.

The quality of a good athlete is the level of

physical condition or high levels of physical fitness

is also high, with good quality conditions then

someone will be able to perform tasks or activities

well without experiencing significant fatigue.

Harsono (1988) and Hastuti (2008) said that if one

have good physical conditions, then:

 There will be an increase in the ability of the

circulatory system and heart work.

 There will be an increase in strength,

flexibility, stamina, speed, and other

components of physical condition.

 There will be a better motion economy during

practice.

 There will be a rapid response from the

organism of our body if at any time such

response is required.

Parham (1993), Côté, J., (1999) and Bloom et al.

(2003) said that "The physical condition of the

athlete plays a very important role in doing the

program that will be provided by the coach". A good

athlete's physical preparation will facilitate the

trainer in implementing the program. Good physical

condition must be obtained by doing physical

activity or exercise regularly and continuously.

Talking about the physical condition will certainly

discuss about strength, endurance, speed and so on.

To know the physical condition or physical fitness

should be done through the tests and measurements,

because tests and measurements can identify the

shortcomings or advances in physical conditions. In

a maximum achievement at least. Cassidy et al

West Javanese Judo Athletes’ Physical Conditions.

In Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Sports Science, Health and Physical Education (ICSSHPE 2017) - Volume 1, pages 466-469

ISBN: 978-989-758-317-9

(2008), Harsono (1988, p.100) states that, to

improve skills and achievements to the fullest

possible potential, there are four aspects of the

exercise that careful attention must be paid to by

athletes: physical exercises, technical exercises,

tactical exercises, and mental exercises. Concerning

the Achievement Harsono (1988, p.100) explains

that:

 Exercise techniques are exercises to enhance

the skills of movement techniques such as

jumping.

 Tactical exercises are exercises to develop of

commentary power on the athlete.

 Physical exercise is an exercise to prepare

physically for the game. What follows are the

physical components: Strength, Muscular

Endurance, Explosive (Power), Speed,

Flexibility, and Endurence.

 Mental exercise is an exercise that emphasizes

the development of athlete's maturity and

emotional development such as spirit of

compete, sportsmanship, confidence, and

others.

Therefore, the author is interested in researching

the athletes’ physical condition for physical

condition is one of the key factors in the

achievement development. In which the most

important aspects for Judo athletes are: Strength

(Strength), Muscular Endurance, Power Explosion

(agility), speed (speed), Flexibility, and Endurance

(cardio vascular).

Based on the aforementioned concerns, the

problems of the research can be formulated in the

following statement. To specify the problems, they

are formulated as follows:

 What are the profile of West Javanese Judo

athletes’ physical conditions in 2016?

 What are the dominant physical conditions of

the West Javanese Judo athletes?

2 METHODS

The method in this research is descriptive method.

Which can be interpreted as a problem-solving

procedure that is investigated by describing the

subject's circumstances. The objects in the study can

be people, institutions, communities and others who

are now based on facts that appear or as it is.

3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1 The Characteristics of Judo

Athletes’ Physical Condition

Every branch of sports requires good athletes’

physical conditions. It is intended to show good

performance and can achieve good achievement.

Characteristics of the sport of judo is not much

different from the sport of wrestling, because in the

wrestling technique there is a kick, pull, lock, push.

Basic physical capabilities include elements of

strength, flexibility, speed, power, agility, precision,

coordination, endurance, and balance. But not all of

the elements of the absolute physical conditions are

required by every sport. According to Bompa (1999)

“Sport Specific strength development required for

sport wrestling (Gulat and Judo): Power endurance,

Reactive power, Muscle endurance medium.”

Judo sport is seen from its characteristic as an

active sport that requires the athlete to have a really

excellent physical condition in every game so that in

each game the athlete can move effectively without

experiencing significant fatigue. Physical condition

consists of several components such as strength,

speed, durability, endurance, and good motion

coordination. Furthermore, this condition is

developed in accordance with the characteristics of

the game of judo, such as leg and arm power to do

throws quickly. Throwing will not produce any

points without good body coordination, in maximal

results the maxillary action is not only influenced by

technical factors but is also determined by physical

condition factors such as limb, abdominal, waist and

arm power that support the dings to be performed at

maximum speed .

In the judo sport, described in, almansba et al

(2010), sterkowicz et al (2013) "limb, abdominal,

waist and arm power are needed to support a judo

player in order to play explosively." Because to be

able to display an explosive movement required

elements of muscle strength and speed are

nominated in an integrated movement. As Harsono

(1988, pp. 200) notes that "two important elements

in power are (a) muscle strength and (b) muscle

velocity in exerting maximum power to overcome

resistance." So the usual exercise developed to gain

power is by connecting muscle power together with

speed training.

When an athlete is physically ready, it will be an

advantage for the athlete himself. There are a lot of

advantages from having good physical conditions.

According to Harsono (1988, p.153; Kraemer and

Fleck 2005) in the book of coaching explained that if

one has good physical conditions, then:

 There will be an increase in the ability of the

circulatory system and heart work.

 There will be an increase in strength,

flexibility, stamina, speed, and other

components of physical condition.

 There will be a better motion economy during

practice.

 There will be a better and faster recovery from

the body after the exercise.

 There will be a rapid response from the

organism of our body if at any time such

response is required.

In addition to physical factors and techniques,

other factors that are not less important is also the

tactical and mental factors that must also be owned

by the athletes who have the goals of becoming the

best Judo athletes in Indonesia or even in the world.

4 CONCLUSIONS

Based on the data analysis and computation, it can

be concluded that the physical condition of West

Javanese Judo athletes are:

 The physical condition is in moderate category

 The dominant physical condition components

that the judo athlete needs are arms and

shoulder power, flexibility, endurance, reaction

and leg strength.
