Background. Pencak Silat is an indigenous Indonesian martial art. The development of instruments resulting from physical training has begun. In instrument development, several requirements, such as validity and reliability, are needed. Problem and aim. The newly prepared instrument does not yet have validity and reliability. Therefore, additional validity and reliability testing are required. This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the physical test battery for early-age Pencak Silat. Material and Methods. The study involved 65 martial artists, consisting of 31 male and 34 female practitioners. Data collection used tests and measurements. Validity was tested using concurrent validity, while reliability was assessed using test-retest reliability. Data analysis techniques for validity used Pearson product-moment correlation, and reliability were examined using Cronbach’s alpha. Results. The results show that the overall physical test battery for early-age Pencak Silat, including (1) sit and reach, (2) sprint 30 meters, (3) push-up, (4) sit-up, (5) sidestep, (6) wall sit, and (7) beep test, has values > the critical correlation coefficient. This indicates that all test items are deemed valid. The analysis results indicate that all test items have values > 0.7 (Cronbach’s alpha). This means that all test items are considered strongly reliable. Conclusions. Thus, it can be concluded that the early childhood Pencak Silat physical test equipment for both boys and girls is declared valid and reliable and can be used to measure athletes’ physical tests. © Yoshin Academy
