FACTOR ANALYSIS OF THE PHYSICAL CONDITION OF SOCCER ATHLETES

Abstract

The results of the FPOK UPI match were less than optimal due to the poor health of the soccer players. The purpose of this study was to measure VO2Max in soccer players. Researchers chose the title because competitive athletes often .experience fatigue and decreased performance in the final minutes. This study uses a descriptive method. The population of this study were new students of FPOK UPI. The research sample was determined using the target sampling technique. Determining the sample by considering it first based on certain criteria. To measure cardiopulmonary endurance, researchers use a method that measures VO2Max levels, which can determine the maximum oxygen consumption in a person's body. The most effective way to lower your VO2Max is by using the Blepp Test. A running track with a length of 20 meters and a width of 1.5 meters was used as research equipment and measured using the Bleep Test (multi-stage fitness test). The results of the VO2Max test study based on the sample tested showed that the physical condition of FPOK UPI soccer players was quite good.
