ABSTRACT:
VO2 max is one of the best indicators for cardiovascular function and physical endurance. A person who has continuous exercise will have better value of VO2 max rather than a person who does not have one. The objective of this research is finding out the difference of VO2 max average value between trained students and untrained students in SMAN 1 Martapura. It is an descriptive analytic research using cross sectional approach, the population is taken from students of SMAN 1 Martapura which consist of two groups of sample, the trained students (basketball players) and untrained students with the minimal amount of samples is 30 for each group. The VO2 max is measured using multistage fitness test. The VO2 max average for trained students is 46,853 and for untrained students is 40,337. Unpaired t test result (p = 0,000) shows that there is a significant difference of VO2 max average value between the trained students and untrained students of SMAN 1 Martapura.
