Physical fitness and BMI in Men's Vocational Sailing School
Abstract
The maritime industry is known for its high physical demands. Students in maritime vocational programs, who will eventually work on ships, must have a good level of physical fitness to perform demanding tasks. Without adequate physical fitness, the risk of injury and fatigue increases, which can ultimately affect workplace safety and operational efficiency. This study aims to determine the Body Mass Index (BMI) and physical fitness levels of male students at SMK Baruna Pemalang. The research design uses a descriptive quantitative method to determine BMI and physical fitness levels. The test instruments are based on the Guidelines for the Nusantara Student Fitness Test from the Ministry of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia, with a validity of 0.471 and a reliability of 0.232. A sample of 61 male students was selected from a total population of 90 students. Data analysis in this study uses SPSS 26 to describe the BMI and physical fitness levels of the male students. The results indicate that the Body Mass Index of the students falls within the normal (healthy) range for a total of 35 students, while the average physical fitness level of the students is categorized as poor, with 46 students falling into this category. The findings of this study are expected to serve as baseline data for further research to improve the physical fitness levels of maritime vocational students.
