Abstract
This research problem arises because increasing VO2max is crucial in improving the performance of kumite karate athletes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of fartlek training and circuit training on increasing VO2max of Inkanas Resmata Madiun Kota kumite athletes. This research was conducted using experimental methods. The study’s population comprised 20 kumite karate athletes from the Inkanas Resmata dojo of the Madiun Kota police department. The sampling technique employed is the matched-pair method. The study sample included 17 kumite karate athletes from the Inkanas Resmata dojo at the Madiun Kota police department, each receiving the treatment 16 times. The research instrument used is the Multi-Step Fitness Test (MFT). The data analysis technique used in this study is a t-test to determine the comparison of fartlek training and circuit training exercises in increasing VO2max. Results of the study: the first hypothesis for the fartlek group is known that the t-test value is calculated at −12,520 with a significance value of 0.000. For the circuit training group, the hypothesis is confirmed with a calculated t-test value of −9.168 and a significance value of 0.000. From the test results using the independent sample T test, it is known that the t value is calculated with a significance value of 0.000 > 0.05. The strong conclusion of this study is that both fartlek training and circuit training significantly increase the VO2max of kumite karate athletes Dojo Inkanas Resmata Polres Madiun Kota, providing clear evidence of the effectiveness of both exercise methods in improving the physical condition of athletes.

Abstract
Purpose. The study’s goal was to determine the relationship between fat percentage and muscle and cardiovascular fitness, as well as the effect of the circuit body weight training method on muscle and cardiovascular fitness.
Methods. Fitness requires effective and efficient methods, one of which is the circuit body weight training method. Some women’s perspectives on weight training have not been prioritized; there is still a lack of understanding on the regulation of exercise doses; and inconsistent studies of the relationship between fat percentage and physical fitness need seeking out the most recent data. A sample of 20 adult women aged 30-50 years was employed in this correlational and experimental study. The instruments used are a hand grip dynamometer, a leg and hand dynamometer, a rockpot, and an Omron body fat monitor. Techniques for collecting data from tests and measurements. The Spearman Rho test was used to analyze the data, along with Wilcoxon which assisted by SPSS 23.
Results. The correlation results revealed a significant relationship between body fat percentage and hand, leg, back, and cardiovascular fitness, with a sig value of 0.05. The comparison revealed significant differences in pretest and posttest percentage of fat, back muscle fitness, limbs, and cardiovascular with a sig 0.05, but not in hand squeeze. It was determined that as the percentage of fat in the body decreased, fitness increased and vice versa. Circuit body weight training boosts cardiovascular fitness, lowers body fat percentage, and improves muscle fitness.
Conclusions. Even though the power of hand squeezing is insignificant, it produces positive results. It is hoped that this study will provide information and a better understanding of weight training. The research is limited to adult women, the sample size is small, and there is no control group. This study can be improved through additional research.
