Vol. 2, Issue. 2, June 2021E-ISSN: 2746 [314] In Indonesia alone rugby is not quite famous. This is because rugby is a sport that has recently entered Indonesia. However, now there is an official competition under the parent organization of the highest rugby organization in Indonesia, namely PRUI (Persatuan Rugby Union Indonesia). There are several official rugby competitions in Indonesia such as national scale events, namely Jakarta 7's, Jakarta 10's, Nusantara 7's, Jakarta XV, and Sangata 7's as well as international scale events such as Jakarta 10's, Makassar 10's, and Bali 10's. In an official competition required a maturity in playing.
Rugby is a team sport that has three categories: 7's (seven versus seven), 10's (ten versus ten), and XV (fifteen versus fifteen). This game is played outside the field (outdoor). Although it tends to be a new sport, rugby is starting to develop rapidly in Indonesia, because this game can be played by men, women, children and adults. Rugby is rapidly starting to become one of the favorite sports in the community, because it has begun to be known in all levels of society. (Suganda, 2017)Rugby in Indonesia is an achievement sport. To achieve achievement requires ability that does not rely on talent alone, but every Rugby athlete must have four aspects of ability quality, namely physical condition, technique, tactics, and mental. Soepartonoin (Sayuti& Prihanto, 2015)In this team sport an athlete must be able to show individual movements that are smooth, agile and controlled. Getting the highest achievement in the game of Rugby is a dream for every Rugby athlete. If an athlete wants to achieve excellence in Rugby, then the athlete must do intensive training. This exercise is intended to improve and develop the quality of ability to the physical, technical, tactical and mental elements that are very important in the sport of Rugby.
Physical condition is a unified whole of components that cannot be separated, both in improving and maintaining it (Sajoto, in .).(Zulheri Is &Septi Hariansyah, 2020).
The importance of the physical condition of rugby athletes should be realized by the coaches and also the athletes themselves. The coach should always control the physical condition of the athlete, so that it can be detected early if the athlete has a disorder which will affect the performance and appearance of the athlete in the match.
The development of the rugby world today has shown a lot of progress, this can be seen from the many competitions or rugby tournaments that are followed, both nationally and internationally.
Full body contact sports, such as rugby, are played continuously or continuously, thus requiring the achievement of a high level of physical fitness. The prerequisites for a successful team are aerobic endurance, anaerobic power, and muscle strength. In eighty Vol. 2, Issue. 2, June 2021E-ISSN: 2746 Analysis of the Physical Condition of the Aceh PON Rugby Atlet 2021 [315] minutes of play these fitness characteristics can be easily identified as the ability to support, generate speed and acceleration at random intervals and to generate controlled strength and power with the aim of gaining an advantage in the first, second, and concurrent phases. (Burgers et al., 2020). More according to Sajoto(Zulheri Is & Septi Hariansyah, 2020)there are 10 kinds of components of physical condition, among which are: (1) strength (strength); (2) endurance (endurance); (3) muscle power (muscular power); (4) speed (speed); (5) bending strength (flexibility); (6) agility (agility); (7) coordination (coordination); (8) balance (balance); (9) accuracy (accuracy); (10) reaction (reaction).
Every coach must improve and develop the physical condition of his athletes. If a rugby athlete is to achieve an optimal performance, he must have complete physical, technical, mental development and champion maturity. Physical condition will decrease faster than increase if no exercise is given at all (Dawud & Hariyanto, 2020). Factors that affect physical conditions include; food and nutrition, sleep and rest factors, healthy living habits, environmental factors, environmental factors and exercise, and others. So, in order to have the ability to have a good physical condition, one must pay attention to these factors.
Rugby athletes are required to have good physical condition because they are required to be able to play or compete for 2 (two) rounds (2 x 40 minutes). Rugby athletes in defense or attack must face a hard collision (body collision), or have to move, do line outs, scrums, and rugs, and run at full speed or agility / dodge in avoiding opponents. The benefit of physical conditions for rugby is that athletes can play with good stamina during matches. Because in a rugby match both teams play for 80 minutes. With the size of the field and the length of the match, rugby athletes must be able to manage energy so that it is not drained in the first round. A rugby athlete must have good endurance. Rugby matches tend to be long, therefore on average each athlete uses the energy requirements of general endurance or aerobic endurance. This element of physical condition is needed by rugby athletes in order to play well (Fuller et al., 2017). In addition to being in excellent physical condition, to become a rugby athlete, one must also have good technique. Rugby playing techniques consist of: (1) kicking, (2) ruck, (3) tackling, (4) line out, (5) scrum, (6) maul, (7) passing, (8) footwork/step. A rugby athlete must have and master the good playing techniques needed when attacking and controlling the ball as well as when defending. The basic technical ability of rugby athletes is closely related to the ability to coordinate physical movements. The basic skills of playing rugby can be Vol. 2, Issue. 2, June 2021E-ISSN: 2746 [316] developed through regular training. In order to achieve optimal performance, support for physical improvement and athlete talent is also needed.
