Abstract

Research Problems: Handball requires a combination of good physical fitness, speed, agility, and endurance. Optimal VO2Max is needed for athletes to maintain match performance, and must be supported by arm muscle strength to maximize passing and shooting quality. Tabata training, a form of HIIT training with a pattern of 20 seconds of high-intensity training and 10 seconds of rest in 8 sets, is effective in increasing VO2Max and arm muscle strength. However, the previous training method was considered too monotonous by athletes, so variations in movements, such as Tabat, were needed to maintain athlete motivation when doing it repeatedly. Research Objectives: to determine the effect of Tabata training on increasing VO2Max and arm muscle strength of handball athletes in Gresik Regency. Methods: With a quantitative research type and using a pre-experimental research method. The sample numbered 16 with certain criteria and with a purposive sampling technique. The measurement instruments used included the Multistage Fitness Test to measure VO₂Max and the Two-Hand Medicine Ball Put Test to measure arm muscle strength. Results: The data shows an increase in the average VO₂Max from 44.39 ml/kg/minute to 46.42 ml/kg/minute with a difference in increase of 2.03 ml/kg/minute and an increase in arm muscle strength from 5.01 meters to 5.42 meters with a difference in increase of 0.41 meters. Statistical tests with paired sample t-tests showed that the increase was significant (p <0.05). Conclusion: Tabata Training has a significant effect on increasing VO₂Max and arm muscle strength of Gresik Regency handball athletes.

Abstract

Research Background: Beginner volleyball athletes often experience difficulties in performing effective overhead serves, particularly in terms of strength and accuracy. One of the contributing factors is the lack of appropriate training methods that specifically target upper limb strength. Therefore, it is necessary to examine whether variations in dumbbell load (500 grams and 600 grams) can significantly improve overhead serve ability. Research Objective: This study aimed to examine the effect of different dumbbell loads, namely 500 grams and 600 grams, on improving volleyball overhead serve ability among beginner athletes. Method: This study employed an experimental design using a pretest-posttest control group design. The participants were 30 beginner athletes from the Bintang Muda Kediri Club. The samples were divided into three groups using the ordinal pairing technique: a 500-gram dumbbell group, a 600-gram dumbbell group, and a control group. The training program was conducted over four weeks, with a frequency of three sessions per week. Data were analyzed using ANOVA to determine differences between groups. Results: The results indicated a significant improvement in overhead serve ability across all groups (p < 0.05). However, the group trained with 600-gram dumbbells showed the highest improvement compared to the other groups. The ANOVA test results (F = 44.23; p = 0.000) confirmed that there were significant differences among the groups. Conclusion: Both 500-gram and 600-gram dumbbell training were effective in improving overhead serve ability among beginner volleyball athletes. However, the 600-gram dumbbell load was found to be more effective. These findings suggest that incorporating appropriate resistance training can provide practical benefits for coaches in designing structured training programs to enhance athletes’ performance.
