ANALYSIS OF TALENT IDENTIFICATION OF INDONESIAN POTENTIAL ATHLETES IN ATHLETICS IN THE NATIONAL STUDENTS ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIP

This research contributes to the development of talent identification in athletic athletes, especially those from students aged 15-18 years. We identified the potential and need for the development of athletes from students in indonesia. The aim of this research is to analyze students from schools regarding the potential that can be developed, especially those who have motor intelligence which can be channeled into athletics. The use of ex post facto descriptive methods in this research has benefits, one of which is to analyze the factors that occurred which could have caused this phenomenon. The number of participants involved was 142 athletes consisting of 16 men and 18 women in the 100-meter run, 18 men and 18 women in the 1000-meter run, 18 men and 18 women in the long jump, which are the results of selection in 6 provinces in indonesia. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24. All data are presented as mean +/- standard deviation. Pearson's product moment test was used to determine the correlation between variables and finish time. The significance level for all statistical tests was set at p < 0.05. There is a positive correlation between anthropometric measurements, especially in height, arm span, and leg length, on the results of the 100 and 1000-meter runs, in the long jump, the results of anthropometric measurements are also positively correlated with the final results ofthe competition, especially in height, arm span, and leg length. Meanwhile, in the shot put, the results of anthropometric measurements which include body weight, height, arm span and leg length are positively correlated with the shot put results, so that the ideal anthropometry average will show maximum results of the competition. Body weight does not correlate with the final results, especially in the 100-meter run, 1000-meter run and shot put competitions. Unlike the shot put, the results of anthropometry measurements influence the results of the competition. These measurement parameters are useful, but on the other hand, training and nutrition intake can also influence the results of competition performance.
