THE AIR ALERT TRAINING PROGRAM USING THE INTERVAL METHOD CAN INCREASE LEG MUSCLE POWER AND ENDURANCE IN BASKETBALL ATHLETES

Abstract

Physical condition is needed in basketball, especially the ability of leg muscle power and endurance. Leg muscle power is needed when performing basic technical movements such as rebounding, lay up shoot and jump shoot while endurance is needed because the game of basketball uses 4 x 10 minutes. One of the training methods that can be used to improve both physical conditions simultaneously is the interval training method which is applied in the air alert training program. However, the extent of the resulting increase we do not know. Therefore, researchers wanted to know the effect of the Air Alert training program using the interval training method on increasing leg muscle power and endurance. This study used a quasi-experimental method because the sample selection used a purposive sampling technique, namely Undikma Mataram basketball students. This study used a population of 30 people with a total sample of 15 people in the treatment group who were given Air Alert training using the interval training method and a control group of 15 people without treatment but practicing basketball as usual. The test used is the vertical jump test using the DF jump to measure leg muscle power and the MFT test to measure endurance. From the calculation of data analysis with the SPSS program, the results obtained in the treatment group for leg muscle power ability are sig. (0.000) < α (0.05), which means there is an increase in leg muscle power and for endurance it has a sig value. (0.000) < α (0.05), which means there is an increase in endurance.
