Abstract

Student-athletes have tremendous potential to be developed into elite athletes. Special sports schools provide opportunities for student-athletes to develop their potential more optimally. The implementation of boarding schools in sports-specific schools provides adequate facilities for student-athletes to focus on careers in sports and education. The COVID-19 pandemic has raised concerns about how the physical activity and body proportions of student-athletes undergo programs in special sports schools. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to describe the condition of physical activity and body proportions of student-athletes in special sports schools. This research is included in the descriptive type. A total of 66 student-athletes (29 boys and 27 girls) were involved in the study. The research instrument uses a physical activity questionnaire that measures physical activity according to the FITT principle and reports height and weight. Body composition was determined using BMI. Data analysis used descriptive, t-test, and ANOVA. The results showed that 6.1% of student-athletes felt that their exercise frequency was insufficient, 84.8% felt it was appropriate, and 9.1% felt it was too much. As many as 50% of student-athletes feel the intensity of their exercise is moderate, and 50% feel heavy. As many as 80.3% of student-athletes felt that the duration of their training was sufficient, and 19.7% felt that it was long. As many as 84.8% of student-athletes felt that the training they got was sufficient and 15.2% found it difficult. BMI shows that as many as 24.2% of student athletes are thin, 56.1% are normal, and 19.7% are obese. Evidently, the variable frequency of exercise affects BMI (F = 5.1, p = 0.009), BMI and exercise activity correlated (r = 0.34, p = 0.005) non-linearly (F = 9.149, p = 0.004).
