Analysis of Strength, Endurance, Flexibility Towards Speed of 100 Meter Bifins Diving Athletes of Shima Sport Club

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between back strength (Back), leg strength (Leg), body pulling ability (Pull Up), cardiovascular endurance (12-minute Run), and flexibility (Sit & Reach) to Bifins performance in 10 diving athletes. Data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and Pearson correlation. The results of the normality test showed that all variables were normally distributed (p > 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between the variables Leg (r = 0.653, p = 0.040), Pull Up (r = 0.905, p < 0.001), 12-minute Run (r = 0.638, p = 0.047), and Sit & Reach (r = 0.873, p = 0.001) with Bifins performance. While back strength ( Back ) did not show a significant correlation with Bifins (r = -0.195, p = 0.588). These results indicate that leg strength, pulling ability, endurance, and flexibility are important factors that affect the performance of diving athletes. This study provides a basis for developing training programs that focus on these aspects to improve the performance of diving athletes.
