Abstract

This study’s purpose was to compare the components of arm muscle strength, flexibility, and agility between elite and sub-elite men’s badminton athletes. The method used in this study is comparative research with a quantitative approach. The research subjects used were 22 male athletes divided into two groups: six elite athletes and 16 sub-elite athletes. Data collection uses secondary data consisting of three components: arm muscle strength, flexibility, and agility. The instruments used were 30-second push-ups to measure arm muscle strength, standing trunk flexion to measure flexibility, and side steps to measure agility. Data analysis techniques used include descriptive statistics and the Mann-Whitney test. Microsoft Excel and SPSS applications were used to perform data analysis. The results of the study from the Mann-Whitney test showed that the significance value of the arm muscle strength variable was 0.001 (p < 0.05), the flexibility variable was 0.555 (p > 0.05), and the agility variable was 0.000 (p < 0.05). Thus, this study concludes that there is a significant difference between elite and sub-elite men’s badminton athletes in arm muscle strength and agility variables, while in the flexibility variable, there is no significant difference.
