In the kyorugi category, components of physical conditions such as strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, and explosiveness are elements in determining the success of athletes in competitions. many athletes have not reached maximum performance due to the lack of targeted physical condition development. This study aims to analyze the needs of the physical condition components of taekwondo athletes in the kyorugi category in the Gresik Regency team. The research method used is an ex-post facto  with a descriptive approach. The research subjects consisted of 8 athletes, athletes with measurements including sit-up, abdominal rollers, single leg squats, splits, standing broad jumps, and multistage fitness tests.
