The Correlation of Dietary Patterns and Sleep Duration towards The Body Fat Percentage among Pencak Silat Athletes
Keywords:
Body fat, percentage diet, Sleep duration, Silat athletes, Physical performance, Body compositionAbstract
This study investigates the correlation of dietary patterns, sleep duration, and body fat percentage in Pencak Silat athletes at Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA). Despite an increase in athlete participation in the Pekan Olahraga Mahasiswa Nasional (POMNAS), performance outcomes have remained limited, with only bronze medals earned in recent editions. Elevated body fat percentage can impair strength, endurance, and agility—key components of athletic performance. This cross-sectional study involved 42 athletes (25 males, 17 females; aged 18–22). Dietary patterns were assessed using the Eating Behavior Patterns Questionnaire (EBPQ), sleep duration via the Sleep Timing Questionnaire (STQ), and body fat percentage was measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). Results showed a significant negative correlation of dietary patterns and both total body fat (r = -0.429, p = 0.005) and visceral fat (r = -0.317, p = 0.035), indicating that healthier dietary patterns are associated with lower fat levels. No significant correlation was found of dietary patterns and subcutaneous leg fat (r = -0.213, p = 0.215). Sleep duration showed a stronger negative correlation with total fat (r = -0.746, p = 0.000), visceral fat (r = -0.504, p = 0.001), and subcutaneous leg fat (r = -0.572, p = 0.000), emphasizing the role of adequate sleep in reducing fat accumulation. These findings highlight the importance of balanced nutrition and sufficient sleep in maintaining optimal body composition, which may enhance athletic performance in Pencak Silat.
