Annex 2 – WADA PERSILAT Anti-Doping

1. Introduction and Scope

As a requirement by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the International Federation of
Pencak Silat (PERSILAT) has produced a risk assessment document. This document is based
on WADA’s International Standard of Testing (IST) and contains and evaluation of:

a. Physiological profile of athletes and the requirements
b. Performance-enhancing drugs that can cause doping
c. Training and major competition schedules
d. The history of doping in Pencak Silat

PERSILAT’s risk assessment is based on the model above. It functions as a base for the
federation’s Test Distribution Plan, which is periodically evaluated and modified.

2. Risk and Patterns of Doping
1.1 Physiological Profile in Pencak Silat

In order to create the Test Distribution Plan, the physiological profile of a Pencak Silat
competitor must be considered.

Generally, sports based Pencak Silat is divided into two main categories, match and
artistic. The artistic part of the competition is then divided into three sub-categories:
single (one competitor), double (two competitors), and team (three competitors).

The energy system required in Match category comprises of lactic-anaerobic system,
due to the fact that the competitor will often utilize maximum intensity movements
during game play. The execution of each movement will take approximately 10 to 120
seconds. During the competitions, the competitors body system will produce a large
amount of lactic acid.

One the other hand, artistic requires less energy compared to their match
counterparts and thus, the intensity of their movements are at a medium. The
continuous also lat for less than three minutes, producing mainly CO2 and H2O during
the game play. The energy system required for this category is identified as the
aerobic system.

During both categories, competitors will actively utilize their neuromuscular,
cardiorespiratory, digestion, cardiovascular, energy, bone and muscular systems.
These systems then make up the main components required by a Pencak Silat
competitor: strength, speed, endurance, coordination and flexibility.
