Abstract

Football is a sport that requires a lot of high energy. To support the performance, a football player must have a normal Body Mass Index and his/her body composition must be proportional between muscle mass and fat. This study was conducted to analyze the relationship between nutritional status, body fat percentage and the hemoglobin levels of football players with their physical fitness. This study used analytic observational with cross sectional design, with a sample size of 22 athletes (in this case, footballers) who were selected with a simple random sampling technique from the Universitas Negeri Surabaya football team. 73% of the athletes have a normal nutritional status, all hemoglobin levels of athletes are normal, the percentage of body fat is 64% optimal and the physical fitness levels of the athletes, which are classified into the average and above average categories, are at 36.4% and 36.4% respectively. A Rank Spearman test showed that there was a significant relationship between nutritional status and body fat percentage with physical fitness. Normal nutritional status and optimal body fat percentage have a significant effect on physical fitness.
