Abstract

A physical condition is the basic capital which an athlete must have to develop his talent. In addition, a nutritional status also has an important role in maximizing the potential of athletes. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between physical condition and nutritional status in basketball athletes. This study is a quantitative research using a cross-sectional design. The subjects of this study amounted to 30 basketball athletes who were selected purposively. The data of physical condition was taken by using the V02Max (Endurance) Bleep test, agility, and speed. The data of Nutritional status was taken by using the Body Mass Index. The data were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the average Bleep Test (Endurance) in men was 47.5 ml/kg/min, and 38.8 ml/kg/min in women. The average result of the shuttle run for men is 32.3 seconds, and for women is 38.7 seconds. The average Sprint (Speed) result is 5.19 seconds. Meanwhile, the average nutritional status of the Body Mass Index is 21.6 kg/m2 which is included in the normal status category. Physical condition and nutritional status in this study show that there is a significant role in supporting the performance of athletes to get achievements. Therefore,  it can be concluded that athletes must balance between physical condition and nutritional status in training.
