Abstract

Introduction- Outdoor sports activities require perfect skills in situations of high physical stress, so physical condition plays an important role in supporting the success of mountaineering.
Objectives- This study aims to test the validity and reliability of the physical fitness and motor fitness components as a reference for determining the optimal physical performance of mountain climbers.
Methods- The method used is descriptive quantitative and the participants in this study were 7 climbers on a fast ascent of 18 peaks for 12 days at an altitude of 3000 Mdpl. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The analysis used is content validity and construct validity.
Result- The components of developing the Physical Abilities test for mountain climbers include physical fitness factors including endurance cardiorespiratory fitness (balke test) the correlation value is 0.882, muscular strength and power (jump decathlon test) correlation value is 0.548, muscular endurance (wall squat test) correlation value is 0.856, flexibility (Static Flexibility Test - Hip and Trunk) the correlation value is 0.772, body composition (BMI and % fat content) has a correlation value of 0.896. Motor fitness factors include speed (running 35 m speed test) correlation value 0.920, agility (hexagonal obstacle test) correlation value 0.412, coordination correlation value 0.732, balance (standing stroke test) correlation value 0.660, reaction time (whole body reaction) value the correlation is 0.872.
Conclusion- the physical abilities component of mountain climbers has a strong correlation value and the test instrument can be used as an evaluation method to measure the physical fitness and motor fitness of mountain climbers.
