PERBEDAAN PENGARUH INTERVAL TRAINING DAN CIRCUIT TRAINING TERHADAP VO2MAX SISWA SEKOLAH SEPAK BOLA UNDIP

Abstract

Background : VO2max is an indication of cardiorespiratory endurance. There are various factors that affect the value of VO2max, one of them is physical exercise. Some examples of physical exercises are interval training and circuit training. “Queen’s College Step Test” is one way to measure the value of VO2max. Aim : Knowing the different impacts between interval training and circuit training on Undip Soccer School students’ VO2max. Method : This research was quasi-experimental study using samples from student of Undip soccer school (n = 10 for each group). The VO2max rate was measured using “Queen’s College Step Test”. Normality test using Saphiro-Wilk produced abnormal data, so the data were analyzed with Mann-Whitney test. Result : The VO2max rate’s mean of interval training group is 51,52 ± 1,80 ml/kg/menit with the minimum rate is 49,17 ml/kg/menit and the maximum rate 54,21 ml/kg/menit. The VO2max rate’s mean of circuit training group is 53,03 ± 1,95 ml/kg/menit with the minimum rate is 49,17 ml/kg/menit and the maximum rate 55,89 ml/kg/menit. The VO2max rate’s mean of circuit training group is higher than interval training group (p = 0,008). Conclusion : The VO2max rate’s mean of circuit training group is higher than interval training group. The difference is statistically significant. Keywords: interval training, circuit training, VO2max
