The research aims to investigate the relationship between BMI and agility in extracurricular hockey participants at SMAN 1 Bululawang. The research method employs correlation analysis from weight and height measurements for BMI, while agility is assessed using a 10-meter shuttle run test.

Female participants' BMI categorized one as severely underweight, three as slightly underweight, seven as normal weight, and one as overweight. Regarding agility, results showed four male participants lacked agility, and five severely lacked agility. Female participants had 12 categorized as severely lacking agility. Data analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of rxy= 0.4840.05 for male participants. For female participants, the correlation coefficient was rxy= 0.4260.05.
