| Summary: | Introduction: Futsal is a sport that demands a combination of speed, agility, and high aerobic endurance. Improving VO2max and agility becomes crucial in enhancing the performance of futsal players in intense match conditions.
Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of situational game training with an additional 5-minute exercise load on the improvement of VO2max and agility in futsal players.
Methodology: The research design used in this study is experimental, employing a randomized controlled trial with a control group. The participants consisted of 16 futsal players divided into two groups: the experimental group undergoing situational game training with an additional 5-minute exercise load, and the control group undergoing regular training without additional load.
Results: After 6 weeks of training intervention, the experimental group showed a significant improvement in VO2max values (p < 0.05) compared to the control group. Additionally, there was a significant improvement in agility based on reaction time and maneuver measurements during situational training.
Conclusions: Situational game training with an additional 5-minute exercise load is effective in improving VO2max and agility in futsal players. The implications of this research suggest that integrating this training method can be an effective strategy to enhance aerobic capacity and motor response of futsal players, better preparing them for the physical and tactical demands of actual competitions.
