The Using of an Elevation Training Mask: Does It Improve the Physiological Abilities of Futsal Players?

Introduction: This examination expects to decide the impact of the High-Intensity Interval Training technique utilizing Elevation Training Mask dependent on oxygen-consuming limit on the physiological capacities of futsal players. Methods: This research is an experimental study with a 2x2 factorial design. The conditional assumption test, followed by the Two way ANOVA test to propose a hypothesis or formulation. The problem in this study was with the help of the computerized SPSS application version 25. Twenty male futsal players (age 21.70 ± 0.80 years, height 165.75 ± 8.29 cm, weight 64.29 ± 4.98 kg, VO2max 45 ,3 ± 5.23 ml.kg-1.min-1). The period lasted six weeks, with each training group participating three days per week of equal volume and intensity. The post-test was conducted four days after the last training session. Results: No difference in the physiological abilities of futsal players based on the use of ETM and non-ETM. Male futsal players with high aerobic capacity using ETM and non-ETM are more effective than male futsal players using ETM and non-ETM. In addition, there is no interaction between groups. Conclusion: This study concluded that Futsal players with aerobic capacity were more effective than those with low aerobic capacity, both for aerobic capacity using ETM and without ETM compared to aerobic capacity using ETM and without ETM. However, the results may differ if there is an increase in the frequency of exercise using the ETM and an increase in the duration of the training period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
