Little research has been directed at understanding mentally challenging behaviors, and their correlates are the drive that arises within a person, consciously and unconsciously, to act with a particular purpose. Objectives. This study examines the effect of providing feedback and training motivation on improving the physical condition of Tarung Derajat athletes in West Sumatra. Methods. Thirty-two athletes were randomly divided into four groups (Direct Feedback high motivation n=8), (Direct Feedback high motivation n=8) (Indirect Feedback high motivation n=8), (Indirect Feedback high motivation n=8) who were assigned to complete a physical training intervention with a feedback approach for 6 weeks, 3 days/week. This study used several physical condition tests under the Tarung Derajat sport. Results. The results of the study showed 1) There is a difference in the physical condition of fighting athletes who train using direct feedback with indirect feedback, 2) There is an interaction effect between direct feedback and training motivation on physical condition, 3) There is a difference in the physical condition of athletes who have high motivation with training that is given a direct feedback approach is higher than indirect feedback 4) There is a difference in the physical condition of athletes who have low motivation with training that applies direct feedback is higher than indirect feedback. Conclusions. Providing direct feedback is better than indirect feedback for athletes with high motivation for physical conditioning abilities. For athletes with low motivation, providing direct feedback is better than indirect feedback for physical conditions. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA). All rights reserved.
