Effect of Resistance Training with the Push, Pull, and Leg Method on Increasing the Volume Oxygen Maximal Uptake (VO2 Max)
Pengaruh Latihan Beban dengan Metode Push, Pull, and Leg terhadap Peningkatan Volume Oxygen Maximal Uptake (VO2 Max)
Abstract
Over the past three decades there have been many studies that have shown that low levels
of cardiorespiratory fitness are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and all-cause
mortality. One way to improve cardiorespiratory fitness is to increase exercise, where resistance
training is one of the exercises that can be done. The best way to measure cardiorespiratory
fitness is by measuring the value of (VO2 max). To determine the effect of resistance training on
increasing VO2 max. The type of research conducted was quasi experimental with a pretest and
posttest non equivalent design approach. The research was conducted on students of the Seminar
Biara Hati Kudus with 40 respondents, who were divided into two groups, namely the treatment
and control groups. There was a significant increase in VO2 max value with p=0.000 in the
treatment group. However, there was no significant increase with a value of p=0.249 in the
control group. There were also significant results when comparing posttest values between the
treatment and control groups with a value of p = 0.036. Resistance training with the push, pull,
and leg method three times a week for three weeks can affect the increase in VO2 max.
