Abstract

The 2400-meter middle-distance run is often used to assess an athlete's cardiovascular endurance. VO₂max is an important indicator of an athlete's performance in middle-distance running. This study aimed to examine the effect of hill repeat training on increasing VO₂max in middle-distance runners from the Vira Perkasa Club. The method used was an experimental study with a single-group pre-test and post-test design on 25 athletes aged 20 to 22 years. Hill repeat training was conducted for two months, twice a week at an intensity of 75 to 85 percent of maximum capacity. VO₂max was measured using a 2400-meter run test before and after training. The analysis using a paired sample t-test showed a significant increase in VO₂max (p < 0.05) after hill repeat training. Thus, hill repeat training is proven effective in improving VO₂max and athlete performance in middle-distance running. Further research with a larger sample size and a wider variety of training options is recommended, measured through a 2400-meter run test before and after the intervention. The results of the paired sample t-test showed a significant increase in VO₂max values (p < 0.05) following the hill repeat training. Thus, hill repeat training is proven effective in enhancing VO₂max and middle-distance running performance.
