Survey of Aerobic Capacity Levels in Basketball Referee Training Participants with C and B2 Licenses for Basketball Student Club, Universitas Negeri Semarang

Abstract

Basketball is a high-intensity sport. The intensity of the game has an impact on the referee, especially the accuracy of decision making, focus, alertness and speed of decision-making and can be supported by good aerobic capacity. Aim of this study was to determine the level of aerobic capacity of participants in the C and B2 license basketball referee training at Semarang State University. Subjects of this research were participants in the C and B2 license basketball referee training at basketball Student Club at Universitas Negeri Semarang with a total of 41 participants, including 31 male participants, 10 female participants. 29 training participants were for the C license and 12 training participants were for the B2 license. The average age of boys is 26 years and girls is 22 years. Type of research is descriptive quantitative using a survey method through tests and measurements of a multistage 20 m shuttle run. Data processed using Microsoft Excel Version 2021. The results of the research showed that the VO2Max calculation results were 6.5% of male participants Excellent, 19.4% good, 22.6% aquate, 22.6% indequate, and 19% very poor. Meanwhile, 10% of female referees are good, 50% are sufficient, 30% are indequate and 10% are very poor. Conclusion of this research is that 14 participants passed and 27 participants did’t pass according to the applicable graduation standards. Based on the results of the VO2Max scores resulting from measurements of 2 male participants, the categories were excellent, 6 was good, 7 was aquate, 7 was indequate, and 9 was very poor. The female referees, 1 participant was in the good category, 5 were aquate, 3 less and 1 very less. So it is necessary to increase the aerobic capacity of basketball referees in order to improve quality and maximize the accuracy of making decision.
