COMPARISON OF PHYSICAL FITNESS LEVELS OF BASKETBALL EXTRACURRICULAR STUDENTS AT SMAN 1 NORTH BINTAN WITH SMAN 1 TANJUNG PINANG

Physical fitness is a physical condition that allows a person to carry out daily activities without experiencing disturbing fatigue. For high school students who have various activities, especially in extracurricular basketball activities, physical fitness  is  an  important aspect that needs to be maintained through regular exercise. This study aims to measure the level of physical fitness of students who participate in extracurricular basketball at SMAN 1 Bintan Utara and SMAN 1 Tanjung  Pinang.  The  focus  of  the  measurement  is  aimed  at  the cardiovascular endurance component, which is evaluated using the Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run (PACER) test. This test is carried out using the 20-meter back and forth running method, where the speed increases gradually following the predetermined audio rhythm. The methodology used in this study is a quantitative approach with a non-experimental type and comparative design, which aims to compare two different sample groups. The test results show that students of SMAN 1 Bintan Utara have an average fitness score of 52.33, while students of SMAN 1 Tanjung Pinang have an average of 51.2. Both are included in the "very low" category. The difference in PACER Test scores between the two schools was only 1.13 points, indicating no significant difference. Thus, it can be concluded that the level of physical fitness of extracurricular basketball students from the two schools is relatively equal.
