ABSTRACT
Futsal athletes need overall excellent physical condition, specifically, speed and lower body strength are the dominant components used in futsal games. However, unfortunately, often these components are not in prime condition because the training methods used to improve these components tend to be monotonous. Various physical training methods have been proven to have a positive effect on increasing the speed and strength of athletes' lower bodies, one of which is the contrast training method. This study aims to examine the impact of the contrast training method on the speed and lower body strength of futsal athletes. The research method used is an experimental method using a pretest-posttest control group design, where the experimental group is given the contrast training method and the control group is given the conventional method. A total of 20 female futsal athletes were involved as subjects of this research who were given training program for 8 weeks (3 sessions/week). The instruments used in this research were the 20-meter sprint test to measure speed and the 1 maximum repetition squat test to measure lower body strength. The t-test was used in this research for data analysis. The research results showed a significant effect of the contrast training method on the speed and lower body strength of futsal athletes, while conventional training methods did not have a considerable impact. However, both groups experienced an increase in ability, where the experimental group experienced an increase in speed of 3.21% and lower body strength of 3.67%, while the control group only experienced an increase in speed of 0.06% and lower body strength of 0.2%. This research concludes that the contrast training method is scientifically proven to be able to provide a significant increase in the speed and lower body strength of futsal athletes. So, we recommend using the contrast training method in the training process for futsal athletes because it has been proven to provide positive benefits.
