Background: Talent identification in pencak silat is needed as prediction of the future performance of young players to achieve success at national or international level in pencak silat.
Purposes: The research purpose was determined predominance model of pencak silat athletes in the fighting category in adolescents aged 14-17 years.
Method: The study was used survey design. The 100 male adolescents aged 14-17 years (50 pencak silat athletes in the fighting category and 50 non-pencak silat athletes in the fighting category) participated in this study. The data collected consisted of 8 anthropometric tests and 21 physical condition tests. Data analysis used stepwise discriminant analysis.
Result: Based on stepwise discriminant analysis, 19 predictor variables were generated that maximally discriminated between athletes and non-athletes in the fighting category. By classifying Fisher's linear discriminant functions based on the 19 predictor variables, 100% of all subjects were correctly classified. The distinguishing characteristics of athletes and non-athletes of fighting category of pencak silat are height, weight, BMI, sitting height, ratio of sitting height/height, spine flexibility, reaction speed, eye-hand coordination, eye-foot coordination, static balance, dynamic balance of the right and left legs, lower limb muscle power, hand speed, agility of the 3x3m shuttle run, speed 30m, abdominal muscle strength, arm muscle strength, and VO2max.
Conclusion: There were 5 anthropometric variables and 14 physical condition variables allow for differentiating between athletes and non-athletes of the fighting category of pencak silat.
