Measurement of Kinesthetic Intelligence Using Questionnaires, Measurement of Motor Ability Using Barrow Motor Ability, and Measurement of Futsal Playing Skills Using Games Performance Assessment Indicator. Based on data processing using statistical tests, it turns out that empirically there is a contribution between Kinesthetic Intelligence and Motor Ability together with the results of futsal playing skills of the Student Activity Unit (Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa/UKM) Male Futsal Players at Universitas siliwangi. Results: The hypothesis results are accepted and included in the High category; the contribution of kinesthetic intelligence skills to playing futsal is 2.89%, the gift of the motor ability to playing skills to futsal is 77.44%, and the contribution of kinesthetic intelligence and motor ability together is 77%. Conclusions: In this case, the contribution of motor ability provides a higher carrying capacity than kinesthetic intelligence. The results of the research that the authors get, therefore the authors suggest that every futsal coach trains together programmed, systematically, and regularly to improve kinesthetic intelligence and motor abilities to be more effective and efficient.
