Effect of Exercise Method and Nutritional Status of Ability VO2max on Basketball Players Performance

This study aims to determine the effect of the method of interval training, circuit training methods, and nutritional status of the VO2 max capacity. The study population was men's basketball player SMAN 1 lemur, amounting to 36 people. The sampling technique in this study using a purposive sampling of 20 people. Data nutritional status was measured using anthropometric assessment using the Body Mass Index (BMI), and to measure VO2 max capacity using the bleep test. Analysis of data using a 2x2 factorial. The results of data analysis found: (1) The ability of VO2 max with interval training methods (A1 = 44.67) is higher than the circuit training method (A2 = 42.07), (2) There is an interaction between training methods and nutritional status of the capacity of VO2 max (Fh = 23.37> Ft= 4.05), (3) In the category of normal nutritional status, ability VO2 max group that trained with the method of interval (A1B1 = 48.48) is higher than that trained in methods circuit (A2B1 = 44.3), (4) In the category of nutritional status is not typical, the ability of VO2 max group that trained with the method of interval (A1B2 = 44.67) was not significantly different from the group that trained in methods circuit (A2B2 = 42.07).
