Abstract

Badminton is a sport that requires muscle fitness and good flexibility to reduce risks of injury due to the intense characteristics of the sport (high impact, high intensity, and multi-directionality). This research aims to measure the level of muscle fitness of 9-12-year-old badminton players. The Research subjects are badminton players aged 9-12 years in a club in Yogyakarta, Indonesia comprised of 12 female and male athletes. The Kraus Weber test was the technique used to collect data. The Research shows that the worst muscle fitness level of badminton players aged 9-12 years is found around the abdominal muscle, which is dominated by all male athletes in the obesity category. Great badminton players between the ages of 9-12 years have back muscle strength and spine flexibility, and good hamstring muscles. This method is effective for measuring muscle fitness of early athlete in various sports.
