One of the most decisive techniques in badminton is the smash which is used to score points by hitting the shuttlecock powerfully and accurately towards the opponent's court. This study aims to determine the extent to which arm muscle strengthening can optimize smash accuracy in badminton games. The population in this study were all 719 students of SMA Negeri 1 Gu. The research sample consisted of 33 male students who were selected purposively with the criteria of having basic badminton playing skills. The instruments used included a push-up test to measure arm muscle strength and a smash accuracy test. Data analysis was carried out using the Pearson correlation test with the help of SPSS 25 software. The results of the analysis showed a significant positive relationship between arm muscle strength and smash accuracy, with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.685 and a significance of 0.001 (p <0.05). Based on the interpretation of the correlation map, the relationship between the two variables is in the strong category. The contribution of arm muscle strength to smash accuracy is 46.9%, while the remaining 53.1% is influenced by other physical condition factors such as flexibility, balance, coordination, strength, explosive power, and speed. The study shows that strengthening arm muscles significantly contributes to increasing smash accuracy in badminton. Recommendations for further research, it is recommended to examine the effect of a combination of arm muscle strengthening and specific technique training on overall smash performance and apply this method to various age groups or different skill levels for more general results.
