- Abstract
The sport of handball is an intense game that is carried out over a long duration of two rounds, each of which runs for 30 minutes. A good VO2max condition is very important for every player to have in order to support performance during training and matches. This study aims to examine the application of circuit training methods to improving physical conditions, especially VO2max levels, in handball athletes. The circuit training method is considered an effective approach to improving athletes' endurance and fitness. This research is a type of experiment that uses a one-group pre-test-post design. The subjects in this study were the Sambas district handball team, aged 17-22 years. The purposive sampling technique resulted in 15 athletes being sampled. The handball athletes involved in this study underwent a circuit training method designed into the training program and carried out for 12 meetings with a frequency of three times a week. Measurement of VO2max level is carried out before and after the training period using the Yoyo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 instrument. The results showed a significance value of 0.000 <0.05. Based on these results, circuit training has proven to provide a significant increase in VO2max in handball athletes. The results of this study are expected to contribute to an understanding of the effectiveness of circuit training methods in improving physical conditions, especially VO2max levels, in handball athletes. The implications of this study can be useful in designing a more focused training program to improve the performance of handball athletes through a training approach that suits their physiological needs.
