Small Side Game (SSG) is a form of exercise using a small arena with a smaller number of people. This exercise aims to support Vo 2 Max ability in Football. The purpose of this study is to prove the effectiveness of SSG training in increasing Vo 2 Max in football athletes at the Muara Enim Persime Club and the Palembang Football Unit Club. The method used is an experiment with the design of the pretest-posttest control group. The Experimental Group (GE) performed SSG exercises with a frequency of 4 times a week for 2 months. Control Group (GC) performed conventional exercises only without using variations in movement or equipment with the same frequency as the experimental group. The subjects in this study were 46 football athletes aged 15-17 years then divided into 2 groups, GE with 23 athletes and GC also with 23 athletes. The instrument used is the Yo-Yo Intermitten Recovery Test Level 1 test. Data analysis in this study used the SPSS V-24 tool to see the effectiveness of SSG on Vo 2 Max ability. The results of data analysis showed that there was a fairly high increase in Vo 2 Max ability compared to the Control Group with an average difference in Yo-Yo test data of 3.82. The findings of this study are that the variety of exercises performed is very effective compared to conventional exercises.

The repeated sprints ability (RSA) is considered an important attribute for basketball, being aerobic fitness pointed out as limiting factor for repetition of sprints. The aim of the study was to verify if the change in VO2PEAK is related to the improvement of RSA after six weeks of training during preseason. Twelve male college basketball players aged 18-24 participated in the study. Players were submitted to body composition evaluation, maximum incremental treadmill test and RSA test (6x30-m) before and after six weeks of training. For the purpose of the study, the calculation of the change percentage delta was used. Paired t-test was used to verify differences after training and Pearson’s correlation and simple linear regression were used to verify the relationship between Δ%VO2PEAK and Δ%RSA. There were improvements in RSAPEAK (t (1.11) = 2.7, p = 0.023); RSAMEAN (t (1.11)= 2.8, p= 0.019); RSATOTAL (t (1.11)= 2.6, p= 0.028); RSADEC (t (1.11)= 2.9, p = 0.015); and sprints 4 (t (1...

The occurrence of detraining in sports disciplines characterized by an extended starting period has to be taken into consideration whilst devising the sports training program. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the effectiveness of the applied 12-day training program, which was to minimalize the effects of detraining in a group of Polish Major League football players. The training program applied, based on a total load volume, in two micro cycles in the particular zones: Io 28, and 31 km, IIo 24, and 26.5 km, IIIo 18, and 19.8 km, influences a significant aerobic capacity precipitation of competitors after a 14-day detraining period. The increase of indicator value were: VO2max by 12%, V.LT by 7%, and V.AT by 10%. Due to choosing the proportions of training loads in I, II, and III intensity range, it is possible to include competitors with various levels of aerobic capacity in one training group. The basis of such a solution is determining individual workout intensities whi...

This study aims to compare the performance values of U-16 development league football players. The research was carried out according to the experimental research model. A total of 25 football players of a super league football team (age: 16, height: 170,36±7,31cm, weight: 56,89±8,88kg), all competing in the U-16 elite development league, participated voluntarily. The players wear Polar watches on the grass football field; Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Level 1 test was applied and aerobic endurance levels, maximal heart rate, and heart rate recovery times were measured. Tests and measurements were applied 1 week before the start of the league. After the first test, the competition period general training program was applied for 9 weeks, 4 days a week, and after that, the same tests and measurements were carried out again. After a 9-week competition training program, there were statistically significant differences in aerobic endurance levels and heart rate recovery times at the 1st mi...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of various intensities of aerobic training on selected performance variables among soccer players. To achieve the purpose, 30 male soccer players were randomly selected as subjects from Thoothukudi District, Tamil Nadu, India. Their age mean and height were 20±2.1 years, 168±1.1 cm respectively. They were randomly divided into three equal groups, and each group consisted of ten (n = 10) subjects, in which, Group I underwent moderate intensity aerobic training, Group II underwent high intensity aerobic training and Group III acted as control. Moderate intensity exercise (MI; 60-70%) and high intensity exercise (HI; 75-90%). The aerobic exercise (jogging/running) training program was performed three days/wk training for twelve weeks. All the subjects in the experimental groups (I & II) were given their respective training programme for twelve weeks duration. The study was restricted to the following selected dependent variables namely dribbling, passing and shooting; they were tested by standardized test items. The participants were trained for twelve weeks of three days a week (alternate days). A pre and post test randomized design was employed for this investigation. The collected data were statistically analysed by using dependent't' test and ANCOVA. The Scheffe's test was used as post-hoc test to determine which of the paired means differed significantly where the differences in adjusted post-test means resided in univariate ANCOVA among three groups. All the above statistical analysis tests were computed at 0.05 level of significance (P<0.05). It was concluded that, the moderate intensity aerobic and high intensity aerobic training groups had significantly improved the participant's dribbling, passing and shooting when compared than the control group and also made significant differences among experimental and control groups. The high intensity aerobic group had significantly outperformed than the moderate intensity group on participant's selected performance variables. However, the control group had not shown any significant improvement on selected variables.

The study aimed to know the effect of interval training on the indicators of aerobic capacity, and knowing the existence of variances between the change parentages of these capabilities after the training, as that the researcher supposed that there are variances with statistical significance between pre and post measurement in aerobic capabilities after interval training, and according to the nature of the research that depends on experimental method, it has been chosen a sample research non randomly which include twenty four players from the team of Widad Mostaganem under the age of nineteen that they underwent to the training program with interval method for eight weeks which contains three quotas in the week, while the pre and post tests have conducted in order to measure their capabilities aerobic, as the results showed the existence of variances with statistical significance between pre and post measurement for the research sample and in favor of post-test, as that they showed the existence of variances with statistical significance between the change parentages of aerobic capabilities for maximum aerobic speed and anaerobic threshold.So we conclude that the interval training improved aerobic capabilities by increasing the (VO2MAX, VAM,AT and FCMAX )and the greatest influence be into the anaerobic threshold(AT) and the maximal aerobic speed(MAS) . Key Words: interval training, Maximum oxygen uptake, maximal aerobic speed, aerobic threshold
