Abstract

The anthropometric characteristics proved to be a predictor of the physical ability and 100 m freestyle swimming performance. Some swimming clubs in Indonesia, especially in Pati Regency have not applied anthropometric measurements to obtain anthropometric data of athletes. The purpose of this study was to know the contribution of anthropometric characteristics to physical ability and 100 m freestyle swimming performance. This research is a quantitative research with test and measurement. Anthropometric are measured using anthropometers. Physical abilities are measured using a dynamometer (hand strength, hand grip) and a standing board jump (power limb). The population of all members of the swimming club Tirta Amarta Pati. The sample amounted to 15 male swimmers with purposive sampling technique. The data were tested by separate regression and multiple regression to test the relation and contribution value of anthropometric characteristics to physical ability and 100 m freestyle swimming performance. Results: anthropometry has a mixed correlation to the physical capabilities and 100 m freestyle swimming performance. Contribution percentage value is big, medium and not too mean. This study notes the anthropometric characteristics of the athlete pool as well as the anthropometry sections that are important for the physical abilities and 100 m freestyle swimming performance. In short, anthropometric characteristics predict physical abilities and 100 m freestyle swimming performance. Anthropometric tests are used to identify gifted young swimmers. Trainers should pay attention to important anthropometry characteristics as a reference in the determination of the exercise program policy.
