Background. Inaccurate hitting direction and fear when hitting are challenges for woodball athletes. Objectives. The research aimed to determine the relationship between concentration, hand-eye coordination, and arm muscle strength in woodball athletes' shots. Methods. Type of quantitative research with a causal social correlation approach. The population of woodball players is 25 people. Grid Concentration Test measured the concentration instrument. The hand-eye coordination is measured by throwing a tennis ball against a wall. Arm muscle strength was measured using push-ups, and punch results were measured using the punch test. The technique uses path analysis. Results. Research results: 1) the path coefficient p y 1 = 0.312 is significant. 2) path coefficient p y 2 = 0.503 significant path analysis coefficient. 3) path coefficient p y 3 = 0.365 significant path analysis coefficient. 4) path coefficient p 31 = 0.028 analysis coefficient is not significant. 5) path coefficient p 32 = 0.331 path analysis coefficient is insignificant. 6) Further tests on variables X1, X2, significant path analysis. Conclusions. These three factors contribute significantly to hitting accuracy in woodball. Improving these factors is important in an athlete's training program. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA). All rights reserved.
