Analysis of the Predominant Physical Condition of Students Enrolled in the Physical Education, Health, Sport, and Recreation Study Program

This study evaluates the dominant physical condition components that influence long jump performance among students in the Physical Education, Health, Sport, and Recreation Study Program at Serambi Mekkah University. Physical condition is a fundamental determinant of athletic performance, as it supports the development of technical skills and overall sporting achievement. The study focuses on four essential physical components required for successful long jump performance: speed, strength, explosive power, and flexibility. These components contribute to the effectiveness of the approach run, take-off, flight, and landing phases of the jump. Although other physical attributes such as endurance, coordination, balance, accuracy, and reaction time also influence athletic performance, the present study emphasizes the four dominant variables most closely associated with long jump success. The research is further motivated by the limited availability of athletic facilities and infrastructure within the university, which may hinder students' skill acquisition and learning outcomes. Evaluating these physical condition components is expected to provide valuable information for improving training programs, optimizing physical fitness development, and enhancing the quality of athletics instruction and student performance in higher education.
