This study aims to assess the health profile and level of physical condition in the Gresik Regency junior taekwondo athlete team. The total subjects used were 11 junior male taekwondo athletes (age: 12.54±2.20) and 20 junior female taekwondo athletes (age: 13.25±1.83). The athletes conducted a health test of height, weight, and body mass index (BMI), then conducted a physical condition test of 30s push-ups, t-test, sit and reach, and multistage fitness test. The analysis used descriptive analysis, and the results obtained were then grouped by gender. Athletes show results of health characteristics and physical conditions that have been grouped by gender; Men junior athelete (MJA) and Women junior athlete (WJA), namely: height (MJA: 157.3±12.4 cm, WJA: 154.65±6.87 cm), body weight (MJA: 46.49±12.13 kg, WJA: 45.58±5.68 kg), BMI (MJA: 18.49±2.43 kg/m2, WJA: 26.3±32.47 kg/m2), push-up 30s (MJA: 28.81±6.85 reps, WJA: 24.7±4.58 reps), t-test (MJA: 7.6±0.82 seconds, WJA: 8.19±0.83 seconds), sit and reach (MJA: 15.36±5.39 cm, WJA: 19.2±6.33 cm), and multistage fitness test (MJA: 7.84±2.45 seconds, WJA: 6.67±1.86 seconds). Although there are several components of athlete characteristics that do not meet the standard or are below standard, it is not the main component in determining victory, especially in the sport of taekwondo. In addition, the results of this study are expected to be valuable insights into the physiological level and physical condition that a taekwondo athlete must have, especially in male and female junior taekwondo athletes in Gresik Regency.
