Abstract

The study purpose. This study aimed to observe the effect of virtual media-based obstacle run training on dribbling ability of women futsal players in the Women’s Futsal Student Activity Unit (UKM) during the Covid-19 pandemic by examining the effect of the treatment. Materials and methods. The research used a pre-experiment method using a quantitative descriptive approach with One Group Pretest-Posttest Design. A total of 30 students who participated in the Women’s Futsal UKM at the University of Suryakancana became the research population. These female futsal athletes are campus team amateur athletes below the professional level of the Indonesian Futsal League. Results. Based on research data, the average value before the obstacle run training treatment was 10.840 seconds and after the treatment was 9.600 seconds, which means that there was time reduction, or in other words, the woman futsal player’s dribbling ability increased. The result of the test showed that the value of the interval training results before and after being given was 0.859. Conclusions. It is suggested that further research explore the use of different kinds of media in improving the dribbling skills of futsal athletes during the Covid-19 pandemic.
