The Effect of the Small-Sided Games (SSG) Training Method on Improvements in VO2Max and Passing Accuracy Among Male Futsal Players Aged 11–13 Years at Espirito Futsalismo Surabaya
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study was motivated by the condition of VO2Max and passing accuracy, which were not yet optimal among male futsal players aged 11–13 years at Espirito Futsalismo Surabaya. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Small Sided Games (SSG) training method on improving VO2Max and passing accuracy. The study employed an experimental method with a Two Group Pretest-Posttest design. The entire population of 28 players was selected as the sample using total sampling and divided into experimental and control groups, each consisting of 14 players, using ordinal pairing based on pretest results. The experimental group received SSG training, while the control group followed the club’s regular training program for four weeks, comprising 12 sessions. VO2Max was measured using the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (YYIR1), while passing accuracy was assessed using the Low Ball Passing Test. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and t-tests. The results showed that the experimental group’s mean VO2Max increased from 43.34 to 49.31 ml/kg/min, while passing accuracy increased from 5.29 to 8.07 points. The Independent Samples t-Test revealed significant differences between the experimental and control groups in VO2Max (p = 0.001) and passing accuracy (p = 0.045). Therefore, SSG training had a significant effect on improving VO2Max and passing accuracy among male futsal players aged 11–13 years at Espirito Futsalismo Surabaya.
Keywords: Small Sided Games, VO2Max, passing accuracy, futsal, players aged 11–13 years.
