This research aims to analyze the relationship between the components of physical condition and the ranking of East Java (Indonesia) gymnastics athletes. This research was a cross-sectional study involving 14 gymnastics athletes at the National Sports Committee of Indonesia (KONI) regional training center in East Java Province (Indonesia), male (6 athletes) and female (8 athletes), aged 15-25 years. Data collection is carried out by measuring components of physical condition, which include strength, VO2max, speed, power, agility, flexibility, and balance, which are measured at one time. Meanwhile, the score calculation for ranking athletes is based on the medals won by each athlete. The correlation test uses the Pearson product-moment model with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that there was a strong relationship between the components of physical condition and the ranking of East Java (Indonesia) gymnastics athletes (p ≤ 0.05). Based on the research results, it can be concluded that physical conditions including strength, VO2max, speed, power, agility, flexibility, and balance strongly correlate with the performance rankings of East Java (Indonesia) gymnastics athletes.
