Abstract
This study aims to determine the effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Fartlek Training and Oregon Circuit Training on the level of VO2 Max Athlete Soedirman Expedition VII and find out which exercises have the best influence. This study uses a pre-experimental method with two group pretest posttest design. The study population numbered 40 people and used a total sampling technique to obtain a sample of 30 people. The research instrument used is the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). Data analysis techniques used are Paired T-Test and Independent T-Test. The results showed that there was an effect of High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) (p = 0,000), Fartlek Training (p = 0.000) and Oregon Circuit Training (p = 0,001) on increasing the level of VO2 Max Soedirman VII Athlete Expedition. But there is no significant difference in effect between High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), Fartlek Training and Oregon Circuit Training on increasing the level of VO2 Max athletes of Soedirman VII Expedition, with these results there is no difference in the effect of the three types of exercise on increasing VO2 Max capacity, however, when viewed from the percentage increase, the High Intensity Interval Training method shows better results with a percentage increase of 40.68% and it is recommended to increase VO2 Max capacity.
