dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study was to assess the effects of aerobic training to the performance of middle and long distance athlete. It was evaluated the training plan, examined the performance of the athlete, the improvement rate, and the gender difference of an athlete with the use of performance predictive (Balke) test, document analysis and observation check list techniques. The research was used comparative study method with the purposive sampling technique, involved 10 male and 6 female athletes which were selected from middle and long distance events. The data gathered from this technique were analyzed and interpreted with percentage and SPSS one way ANOVA statistic method. The results of the findings it shows that the training plan was followed the principles indicated to the literature except the difference with increased volume. The findings also shows the performance predictive test result of group multiple comparisons indicated that there was a significant difference between test one vs. two, one vs. three and one vs. four and there was no a significant difference between test two vs. three, two vs. four and three vs. four. The results of male comparison indicated that there was a significant difference between test one vs. three, one vs. four, two vs. three, and two vs. four, but there was no significant difference observed between test one vs. two and three vs. four. The results of male comparison indicated that there was a significant difference between test one vs. two, one vs. three and one vs. four, but no significant difference observed between test two vs. three, two vs. four and three vs. four. Depending on their VO2max level male has been showed average improvement of 0.91% and average mean improvement rate of female was 1.84%. Finally the research showed that there was a difference in level of VO2max between male and female athlete. Key terms: aerobic performance, maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max), performance predictive test (Balke test), aerobic training, altitude. | en_US |
