Abstract: Infertility is an inability to produce offspring. Nowadays, infertility cases is happening to 10-15% of couples that sexually active, and 50% of infertility cases are male factor infertility. Therefore, one of the effort that have been done by many people to increase or maintain fertility is by doing sport, especially running. Several studies claim that running have a bad impact to sperm quality. This study was conducted to find out whether running have a bad impact to sperm quality or not. This study design is experimental post-test only with control group design. The subject of this study are 14 Rattus Norvegicus mouses with wistar strain. This study was conducted by counting the percentage of normal spermatozoa morphology under the microscope. The analysis result found that the data is not normally distributed and homogen. The result of non-parametric test found that there is significant difference between the percentage of normal spermatozoa morphology in experimental group and control group, this can be proved by significance value p < 0.05, other than that the mean value of normal spermatozoa morphology in experimental group is lower than in control group. Concluded that running with moderate intensity have a bad impact to percentage of normal spermatozoa morphology.
