Asupan Energi, Protein, Status Gizi, dan VO2 Max Atlet Futsal MAN 1 Pekanbaru

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to analyze the relationship between nutritional intake and VO₂ max futsal athletes (MAN 1 Pekanbaru). The research is a quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional research design. This study was conducted at MAN 1 Pekanbaru on March 8-12, 2023, with a total of 40 athletes obtained by the total sampling technique. Nutritional intake was obtained through food recall interviews 2x24 hours, nutritional status was obtained through height and weight measurements, and VO₂ max data was obtained using the Multystage Fitness Test (MFT) method. The analysis used is univariate and bivariate with the Chi Square test and Fisher's exact test. The results of the univariate analysis obtained showed that 34 athletes (85%) had good energy intake, 27 athletes (67.5%) had good  protein intake, 29 athletes (72.5%) had good nutritional status, and 17 athletes (42.5%) had good VO₂ max. The results of the bivariate analysis showed no relationship between energy intake (p=0.17) with VO₂ max, there were relationships between protein intake (p=0.006) and nutritional status (p=0.009) with VO₂ max athletes. In conclusion, there was no relationship between energy intake and VO₂ max and there were significant relationships between protein intake and nutritional status with VO₂ max futsal athletes MAN 1 Pekanbaru. It was expected that athletes always consume healthy snacks (high energy and protein) and were able to meet the daily needs to achieve normal nutritional status and increase exercise intensity to achieve maximum VO₂ max.
