Hubungan Aktivitas Fisik dengan Status Gizi Atlet Remaja klub Bola Voli Baja 78 Bantul Yogyakarta

Abstract

Adolescence is a transitional period from childhood to adulthood, characterized by accelerated physical, cognitive, and psychosocial growth. Physical activity is defined as body movement that involves physical functions through the role of body parts. Various studies show low levels of physical activity and high sedentary behavior among Indonesian adolescents, making research on physical activity in adolescents very important to prevent health problems, support optimal development, and establish healthy lifestyles from an early age. This study aims to analyze the characteristics of the relationship between the level of physical activity and nutritional status among adolescent athletes of the Baja 78 Volleyball Club in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional study design and employs the Spearman Rank correlation test, with a total of 85 student-athlete respondents selected through purposive sampling. Respondents were interviewed using the PAL 24-hour form regarding the types of physical activities performed within a 24-hour period (activity recall) and anthropometric measurements of body weight (BW) and height (BH) were taken. The research was conducted from July 2 to July 4. The results showed that the majority of respondents were male (52.9%), while females accounted for 47.1%. Based on age groups, most male athletes were aged 14-15 years (50.0%), while female athletes were aged 12-13 years (50.0%). The physical activity of male respondents predominantly fell into the moderate category (35.6%), while the majority of female respondents were in the light category (42.5%). The nutritional status of male respondents was mostly in the normal category (77.8%), as was the case with female respondents (67.5%). Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara aktivitas fisik dengan status gizi baik pada atlet laki-laki (p=0,004) maupun pada atlet perempuan (p=0,074). Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa aktivitas fisik tidak berhubungan secara langsung dengan status gizi pada atlet remaja Klub Bola Voli Baja 78 Bantul, Yogyakarta.
