Indonesian Petanque has contributed a Bronze medal to the Indonesian contingent at the 2015 Singapore SEA GAMES, but at the next SEA GAMES until 2019 Indonesian Petanque did not contributed any medals to the Indonesian contingent. Petanque games is determined by the accuracy of boules throw at the target of each game. Indonesian athletes lack of accuracy and consistency both in pointing and shooting during the games. Result of Both Pointing and Shooting depend on may factor including Arm Muscle Endurance and Arm Length. Unfortunately, only a few scientific studies have been reported exploring this sport. This study aimed to determine a correlation between the arm muscle endurance and the arm length with the accuracy of Pointing at distance of 8 m as a dominant distance in Petanque Games in Indonesia A total of 38 athletes from all regions of greater Jakarta whom member of UNJ Petanque Club participated in the research voluntarily. Each participant is informed about the details of the research at the meeting conducted before the research. Each participant expressed approval to participate in the study verbally. Subjects in this study consisted of men (n = 20) and women (n = 18) aged between 18 years to 23 years with an average of 20,617 ± 1.50, height ranging from 158 cm to 173 cm with an average of 167.28±1.31. The study was conducted in the Petanque Court at UNJ Sport Complex in Jakarta, Indonesia. Data of Arm Muslce Endurance was collected by Flexed Arm Hang Test, Arm Length using Segmometer and Pointing Accuracy using Petanque Pointing Test. Data was analysed by regression and correlation analysis techniques. The Result are, there are significant correlation between Arm Muscle Endurance and Arm Leng with Pointing Accuracy (r=0.602 and r=0,695 respectively) and significant multiple correlation (R=0,704). The coefficient determination as (RY12) = 0.496. It was determined that 49.6% of the Pointing accuracy were due to the multiple effect of arm muscle endurance and the arm length. Based on these results, there was a significant relationship between arm muscle endurance and arm length and the pointing accuracy in petanque. Thus, to improve pointing accuracy the coach need to improve Arm Muscle Endurance of athletes. © JPES.
