Abstract

Introduction: Having a good vital lung capacity is very important for athlete, because they can have stable endurance when competing, especially for athletes in sports that require high physical endurance and for a long time, such as playing soccer. Efforts to increase and optimize lung capacity for athletes starting from an early age and entering adolescence with exercise. This research is aimed to investigate the effect of gradual progressive exercise on Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). Methods: This research was a quasi experimental with control group design. The intervention consisted of progressive exercise for 10 weeks regularly, 45-60 minutes at intervals, and the control group was not given progressive exercise. There are 60 male soccer students in Palembang City, who have met the inclusion criteria.
Results: There was an increase in actual FVC in the group with progressive exercise from start to finish of 0.3±0.31 (p<0,001). The average FVC was 3.2 liters (SD 0.50), with the maximum FVC value is 4.30 liters and the minimum value 2.20 liters. The average actual FVC in the progressive exercise group tended to be higher than the control group (3,2±0,50 vs 3,1±0,48) and there is no significant difference in the two groups (p=0,218). Conclusion: 10 weeks of gradual progressive excercise is increasing the actual FVC significantly from the beginning to the end of training in soccer student athletes aged 14-17 years.
