Abstract
Paragliding is an extreme sport that is experiencing increasing interest in Indonesia. One of the championship numbers in paragliding is the accuracy of landing. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how paragliding athletes' arm and leg muscle strength correlated with landing precision. 39 paragliding athletes were studied cross-sectionally using a total sampling technique. The following tools were utilized in this study: a hand and back dynamometer for measuring arm muscle strength, a dynamometer for measuring leg muscle strength, and a dynamometer for measuring landing accuracy at the first foot on the ground. The findings indicated that landing precision was substantially correlated with leg muscular strength (p = 0.00). In contrast, arm muscle strength was not related to landing accuracy results (p => 0.05). This study concludes that leg muscle strength is a significant factor in obtaining good landing accuracy results.
