Yo-Yo Intermitten Recovery Test: A study of football players’ VO2max physical condition

Abstract

The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test is frequently used to evaluate VO2max and is crucial for determining an athlete's physical condition. However, its effectiveness in accurately assessing the physical condition of football players remains limited. This study aims to analyze the level of the physical condition of football players' VO2max which will be used as evaluation material for designing training programs so that the pattern of coaching becomes focused and produces achievements. This research used a quantitative approach to the survey method. The subjects of this study were Pusaka FC football club athletes, the sampling technique used total sampling so that all athletes were a sample of 23 players. The test instrument used the Yo-Yo Intermitten Recovery Test level 2. Data analysis used descriptive percentages, with the assistanceof the Microsoft Excel 2019 software application. The results of the study show that the VO2max level value in soccer athletes is 13.04% of athletes in the poor category and 34.78% in the good category. Below average, 47.82% shows the average category, and there is only 4.35%, which shows the value of the good category. Based on the results of the VO2max ability test, the average classification of Club Pusaka FC players is still relatively low. However, it is necessary to know that the limitations of this study lie in the condition of the players' nutritional intake which has not been controlled and their age which must also be taken into consideration by researchers. Furthermore, it can find information on the effect of athlete nutrition on endurance ability.

Exercise for health in old age: Comprehensive review examining the benefits and efficacy of interven-tions

“…The existence of exercise, sporting activities, and active lifestyles have a positive impact on older people, these results are also supported by the review of the physical activity scale for older people (PASE) can be used as a tool to measure self-reported physical activity levels in outpatient adults with MND (Sia et al, 2023). Physical activity through exercise has been shown to have a tremendous positive impact on the health of the elderly (Cheng et al, 2013), d and has a favorable impact on VO2max endurance (Hardinata et al, 2023;Supriatna et al, 2023;Suryadi, Yanti, et al, 2023), physical fitness (Athaya et al, 2023;Mashud et al, 2024;Rubiyatno et al, 2023;Suryadi, Suganda, et al, 2023), and motor skills in children (Harianto et al, 2023; Y. T. J. Samodra et al, 2023;Suryadi, Nasrulloh, et al, 2024).…”

“…Samodra, 2021). In addition, it can help increase body strength, endurance, and flexibility (Hardinata et al, 2023;Supriatna et al, 2023;Suryadi, Yanti, et al, 2023), physical fitness (Athaya et al, 2023;Mashud et al, 2024;Rubiyatno et al, 2023;Suryadi, Suganda, et al, 2023), and can strengthen the immune system, making the body more resistant to infection.…”

Physical Fitness Profile Analysis: Survey Study On Extracurricular Football Students

“…Similar statements were also expressed by Haïdara et al, (2023); Supriatna et al, (2023) who said that physical abilities are needed to support performance. With good physical abilities, it will be easier to do sports activities (Suryadi, Yanti, Ramli, Tjahyanto, & Rianto, 2023).…”

Push-Up Counter (PUC) as an instrument of arm muscle strength: Validity and reliability

“…One crucial facet of these guidelines revolves around the utilization of data obtained from physical condition tests and measurements. These test results provide the cornerstone upon which coaches construct precise and effective training regimens, thereby enhancing athlete performance (Hudain et al, 2023;Suryadi et al, 2023;Vavilov et al, 2020). In this context, the imperative for accurate, technology-supported tests and measurements becomes increasingly evident, as they furnish a more nuanced comprehension of an athlete's muscle strength and conditioning.…”
