Abstract
This study aims to develop a valid and reliable guidebook for identifying judo talent, which can be used to assess the potential of young judo athletes. The research employs a research and development methodology. On a small scale, the study involved participants from the Wira Mataram Judo Club, while large-scale testing was conducted with Talented Athletes Development (PAB) BPO DIY and PJSI Bantul Regency. All participants in the product trials were judo athletes aged 10–13 years. The data analysis technique used a giftedness formula by calculating the mean (M) and standard deviation (SD) of test results, which were then classified into five categories based on a normal distribution: very talented, talented, moderately talented, less talented, and not talented. The data from each test type were processed and converted into a giftedness formula. The study identified 17 judo talent identification test items, including:
– Anthropometric tests: 4 items – height, body fat, body weight, sitting height
– Biomotor tests: 8 items – strength (wall sit, push-up, back-up, sit-up), agility (side step test), flexibility (sit and reach), balance (dynamic balance test), endurance (Harvard step test)
– Skill-specific tests: 5 items – ushiro ukemi (sitting position), yoko ukemi (lying position), yoko ukemi (squatting and standing position), mae ukemi (kneeling position), jugeri/mae mawari ukemi
The overall effectiveness test results showed a validity score of 0.86 and a reliability score of 0.9.
