The Improvement of Power Endurance and Aerobic through Interval Method by Using Vest Jackets

Abstract

Vest jacket is a training tool that attaches an external load to the jacket pocket which aims to provide resistance to the body during exercise. This research aims to improve power endurance and aerobic through the interval method by using vest jackets. The method used in this research was an experiment with One-Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample was 17 futsal players who joined the Pro Futsal League in 2020. The research instruments were in the form of power endurance ability test through a Multistage Hurdle Jump Test and aerobic test through a Bleep Test. The data analysis t-test with a significant level of 5% uses SPSS 18 software. The results show that interval method training using a vest or weighted jacket has a significant effect on increasing power endurance and aerobic abilities. The conclusion in this study is that the increase in aerobic capacity is influenced by interval method training using a resistance vest jacket and the increase in the ability of power endurance is progressively greater because the elements of the training material are more dominant with heavy work muscles. For further research, it is suggested that the scientific development in coaching should be more effective and efficient. Therefore, in this research, it can be developed through other forms of training or method to sports that are more specifically dominant in physical abilities, such as sports that are dominant power endurance and dominant endurance.
