Description
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the possible relationship between fat percentage and hemoglobin
levels on leg power levels. It employed an analytical observational design using a cross-sectional
approach. The sampling technique applied was purposive sampling, with the sample studied
involving 24 male volleyball athletes aged under 22 years. Hemoglobin was assessed using the
cyanmethemoglobin method. Body fat percentage was measured using Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis with the Omron Karada Scan HBF-358, while leg power was evaluated using the vertical
jump test. The results indicated a strong negative relationship between the percentage of body fat and
leg power (p=0.002; r=-.610), and a strong positive relationship between hemoglobin levels and leg
power (p=0.001; r=0.613). The study demonstrated that a higher body fat percentage is associated
with high power levels. In contrast, elevated hemoglobin concentrations are also positively related to
power, indicating that both oxygen-carrying capacity and body composition may influence muscular
performance.
