Improving Endurance Ability through Endurance Training Model-Based Drill Technique

Abstract

Endurance ability is one of the physical conditions that form the foundation of the game of soccer. However, the problem that is often seen is that players don't have good endurance. So, increasing endurance ability through the right training methods is very important. The training model is more varied and can eliminate player boredom during the training process. This study aimed to see the effectiveness of the endurance training model-based drill technique on the endurance ability of soccer players. This type of research is experimental research with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population in this study were players of the Student Sports and Education Center (PPLP) in West Sumatra. The sample in this study was soccer players aged U-18 with a total of 30 people. To determine players’ endurance ability, the ability of VO2Max capacity was measured. The instrument used is the Yo-Yo IR Test. Data analysis in this study used the statistical method of mean difference test (t-test). Before testing the hypothesis, a normality test was carried out using liliefors. Here are the results of the data analysis: tcount (8.98) > ttable (1.697), so the conclusion from this study is that the endurance training model-based drill technique is effective in increasing the endurance ability of soccer players.
