Effect of Oregon Circuit Training and Fartlek Training on the VO2Max Level of Soedirman Expedition VII Athletes (Goes to Aconcagua Mountain: Argentina)

Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to determine the effect of Oregon Circuit Training and Fartlek Training on VO2max levels in Sudirman Expedition VII athletes (goes to Aconcagua Mountain: Argentina). The research method uses pre-experimental with two groups pretest posttest design. The variables in this study are (1) independent variables: Oregon Circuit Training Fartlek Training. (2) dependent variable: VO2Max level. The population numbered 20 athletes and used a total sampling technique to obtain 20 samples. The research instrument uses the Multi Stage Fitness Test Instrument. This research was conducted in January 2018 until October 2018. Data analysis techniques were obtained by T-Test. The results showed that there was an Oregon Circuit Training effect on the increase in VO2Max of Sudirman VII Expedition Athletes as evidenced by p value = 0.002. In addition, there is the influence of Fartlek Training on the increase in VO2Max Soedirman VII Expedition Athletes as evidenced by p value = 0.001, and there is no significant difference in effect between the Oregon Circuit Training and Fartlek Training on increasing VO2Max athlete of Soedirman VII Expedition with ρ value = 0,740. these results, the two methods can be used as an effective and efficient training program to improve VO2Max.
