PERBANDINGAN PARAMETER FUNGSI PARU ATLET PUTRA CABANG OLAHRAGA BOLA VOLI DENGAN SEPAK TAKRAW DI PUSAT PENDIDIKAN DAN LATIHAN PELAJAR JAWA TENGAH

Abstract

Background: Volleyball and sepak takraw are ones of sport branches trained intensively in PPLP to boost their performance. Intensive and planned trainings are programmed to increase athletes’ physiological function or physical condition to a more superior level. Superior physical condition in athletes can be seen from their pulmonary function. With known pulmonary function values, their performance can be boosted by choosing the right method for said sport branches so their maximum pulmonary function and capacity also optimum physical condition can be reached. Objective: Comparing pulmonary functions values between male volleyball athletes and male sepak takraw athletes in PPLP Jawa Tengah. Method: Analytic-descriptive with cross-sectional design. Samples are 9 PPLP male athletes each for volleyball and sepak takraw. Among pulmonary functions test, VC, FVC, FEV1, and FIVC were measured using Spirometer spirolab II. Independent t-test was applied for statistical analysis. Results: Mean VC values for volleyball athlete is 4,05 L and sepak takraw is 3,07 L. Mean FVC values for volleyball athlete is 3,62 L and sepak takraw is 2,94 L. Mean FEV1 values for volleyball athlete is 3,42 L and sepak takraw is 2,89 L. Mean FIVC values for volleyball athlete is 3,59 L and sepak takraw is 3,04 L. P values acquired for all parameters was p<0,05. Conclusions: Volleyball athletes’ mean pulmonary functions values are higher than sepak takraw athletes’.
