HUBUNGAN ANTARA SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE DENGAN FLEKSIBILITAS HAMSTRING PADA SISWA SMA

Introduction: Sedentary lifestyle as sitting or lying behavior throughout the day, outside of sleep time will have a negative impact i.e. increased incidence of obesity, decreased strength, and muscle tightness. Students become the ones who often experience muscle tightnes due to being accustomed to long sitting and lack of exercise so that the flexibility of the hamstring muscles becomes diminished. This study aims to find out the relationship between sedentary lifestyle and hamstring flexibility in Sma students.
Objective: To determine the relationship between sedentary lifestyles and hamstring's flexibility in high school.
Method: This study used a Cross-Sectional design method with a sample of 57 respondents. The sampling technique was non-probability sampling. With the measurement of hamstring flexibility using the sit and reach test and measuring physical activity with the IPAQ-SF. The study was conducted in May 2024.
Results: The results of this study obtained that respondents did moderate activities 49.01%, low 36.08%, heavy 14.01% And respondents got hamstring flexibility values, namely the bad category 21.05%, moderate 35.09%, good 33.33%, very good 10.53%. From the results of the study, the Pearson test was then carried out to obtain a sig value (0.001).
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between sedentary lifestyle and hamstring flexibility in Sma students. Because of the significance value <0,05.
