Abstract

Agility is a very important physical component in futsal, where the ability to change direction quickly and accurately determines the performance of athletes on the field. This study aims to determine the effect of the combination of ABC Running Drill and Hexagon Drill exercises on increasing the agility of male futsal athletes. This study uses an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test approach. The study population was male futsal athletes from Al Azhar 5 Islamic High School Cirebon with a sample of 15 athletes. Agility was measured using the Agility T-Test before and after the intervention in the form of a combination of ABC Running Drill and Hexagon Drill exercises for six weeks with 2 meetings per week. The data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test. The results showed a significant increase in agility with a decrease in the average travel time from 13.48 seconds in the pretest to 10.90 seconds in the posttest (difference of 2.58 seconds). All study subjects who were initially in the “poor” category (>12.5 seconds) experienced an improvement in performance with a posttest time range between 9.61-11.84 seconds. The data had a normal distribution based on the Shapiro-Wilk test (p-value > 0.05) and showed a decrease in standard deviation from 5.62 to 3.59, indicating an improvement in performance consistency between athletes. The combination of ABC Running Drill and Hexagon Drill exercises has proven to be effective in significantly increasing the agility of male futsal athletes. This training method can be implemented as an effective training strategy to develop the agility skills of futsal athletes, especially for athletes with low initial agility performance.

Abstract

Maltodextrin, a high-glycemic carbohydrate, is believed to maintain energy and delay muscle fatigue in rowing, a sport that relies on both aerobic and anaerobic energy sys-tems. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of maltodextrin supplementation in maintaining energy and anaerobic performance in rowing athletes. The research with a randomized pretest–posttest control group design involved eight rowing athletes from West Bandung Regency, divided into an experimental group (receiving 0.25 g/kg maltodextrin) and a control group (water). The main instrument used is the Concept-2 rowing ergometer which is equipped with a digital monitor to record power output, stroke rate, and mileage for each sprint. Data were analyzed descriptively to see the mean and difference between groups, followed by the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the Levene homogeneity test. The results showed that maltodextrin supplementation did not have a statistically significant effect on the increase in anaerobic power of rowing athletes, but physiologically had a positive ef-fect on performance. The group that received maltodextrin had a lower fatigue index (13.5%) than the control group (17.6%), indicating a better ability to maintain strength during repeated sprints. Conclusion This study showed that maltodextrin supplemen-tation at a dose of 0.25 g/kg body weight given two hours before activity had a practi-cal positive effect on the anaerobic power of rowing athletes in West Bandung Re-gency.
