ABSTRACT

VO₂Max is very important in football games. Currently, the average Student Training Education Center (PPLP) West Sumatra football player has a low VO₂Max capacity, so an exercise method is needed that can increase the athlete's VO₂Max capacity. In this case, the researcher provides a small game training method to raise the VO₂Max amount of players. The study's sample consisted of 40 people aged 14-17 years, using purposive sampling based on the researcher's own considerations. The players in this study sample have also been practicing for a long time, approximately 9 years. The average rise in scores between the first and final tests was found by statistical testing. It falls into the effective category with a minimum N Gain Score value of 0.4 and a maximum value of 0.9, and the pretest-posttest test results yielded a t-count value of -26.645 with a significance value of <0.01. If the sig value (2-tailed) < 0.05, then there is a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results. So to increase good endurance in athletes, realistic exercises such as small side games are needed, so that the athlete's VO₂Max capacity can increase properly. So it is highly recommended for football players to improve their endurance by using this small side game method. Small side games training, in addition to developing technical play, also greatly improves the physical condition of athletes. It is important for coaches to apply this training method to improve abilities.
