Abstract

Cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂max) among university students is worryingly low, with more than 50% of students categorized as unfit (<41.7 mL/kg/min). This study was conducted to determine the effect of calisthenic training on estimated VO₂max values using a quasi-experimental study design on 21 male students of the Faculty of Public Health, University of Indonesia from August to October 2024. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: the intervention group (n=10) and the control group (n=11). The intervention group performed treatment in the form of calisthenics exercise for 40 minutes, and the control group received running exercise treatment for 20 minutes, with both exercises done twice a week for 4 consecutive weeks. Body weight, height, body mass index, estimated VO₂max values, body fat percentage, muscle mass, academic stress levels, sleep quality and macronutrient intake data were measured pre-and-post training and were analyzed using independent and dependent t-tests. The results showed a significant (p<0.05) difference in change on the average estimated VO₂max values between the intervention group (3.5 mL/kg/min) and the control group (11.4 mL/kg/min). It can be concluded that the changes in estimated VO₂max values were likely more effective in the running group compared to the calisthenics group.

Bahasa Abstract

Tingkat kebugaran kardiorespirasi (VO₂max) di kalangan mahasiswa sangat mengawatirkan, dengan lebih dari 50% mahasiswa dikategorikan sebagai tidak bugar (<41,7 mL/kg/min). Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh latihan kalistenik terhadap nilai estimasi VO₂max menggunakan desain studi kuasi eksperimental pada 21 mahasiswa laki-laki Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Indonesia dari Agustus hingga Oktober 2024. Subjek dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu kelompok intervensi (n=10) dan kelompok kontrol (n=11). Kelompok intervensi diberikan perlakuan berupa kalistenik selama 40 menit dan kelompok kontrol diberikan perlakuan lari selama 20 menit, dengan kedua kelompok melakukan intervensi selama 4 minggu dengan frekuensi 2 kali dalam seminggu. Data berat badan, tinggi badan, status gizi, nilai estimasi VO₂max, persen lemak tubuh, massa otot, tingkat stres akademik, kualitas tidur dan asupan zat gizi makro diukur sebelum dan setelah intervensi, serta dianalisis menggunakan uji t independen dan dependen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan perubahan rata-rata nilai estimasi VO₂max secara signifikan (p<0,05) antara kelompok intervensi (3,5 mL/kg/menit) dan kelompok kontrol (11,4 mLkg/menit). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perubahan nilai estimasi VO₂max yang lebih besar pada kelompok lari dibandingkan dengan kelompok kalistenik.
