Abstract
Background of the Study. Physical fitness is crucial for athletes, enabling them to endure rigorous training and meet competitive demands effectively. It encompasses both health-related attributes, such as cardiovascular endurance and muscular strength, and skill-related components like agility and speed. Various training methods, including circuit training (CT), have been explored to enhance fitness levels among athletes. Despite the growing popularity of CT in various sports, comprehensive research on its effects on athletes’ physical fitness has been limited.
Aim. The present review aims to clarify the effects of CT on physical fitness among team sports Athletes.
Material and Methods. In accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) Statement guidelines, the systematic search of PubMed and Google Scholar databases was undertaken on the 28th of August, 2023, to identify the reported studies, using a combination of keywords related to CT, physical fitness, and athletes. Of the 566 studies, only 18 articles met all eligibility criteria and were included in the systematic review. The assessment was performed on the Pedro scale, and the study quality included in the eighteen studies was fair (ranging from 5 to 6).
Results. The results showed that speed (n = 12) was the aspect of physical fitness studied in CT interventions, followed by muscular strength (n = 10), power (n = 13), balance (n = 2), body composition (n = 2), agility (n = 14), flexibility (n = 5), muscular endurance (n = 7), and cardiovascular endurance (n = 8). Existing evidence concludes that CT significantly impacts speed, muscular strength, power, balance, flexibility, agility, body composition, and cardiovascular endurance.
Conclusions: The CT method is one of the ways of physical fitness training aiming at general development, which includes all the physical aspects. Furthermore, there is still limited numbers of evidence showing the effect of CT on agility, body composition, and speed.

Ridho Gata Wijaya, Ebtana Sella Mayang Fitri,Pratama Dharmika Nugraha, Agus Sepriyanto, Fiky Zarya – Improving the performance of karate athletes: fartlek and circuit training in the increasing VO2max –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2024; 24(1); 98-104

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF824g

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.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A591

Abstract
Power and agility are important attributes for playing basketball. This study aims to determine the effect of a circuit training program on improving agility and limb muscle power in basketball athletes. An experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design was used. Purposive sampling with specific criteria was utilized: active basketball athletes aged 15-18 years, male, and willing to participate in the study. The sample consisted of 12 athletes who underwent a treatment consisting of 8 sessions over 24 meetings. The instrument for measuring limb muscle power was a vertical jump test, while the T-Test was used to measure agility. Data analysis involved normality and homogeneity tests, followed by t-tests using SPSS. The results showed that the average pre-test limb muscle power was 49.33 cm, which increased to 54.17 cm in the post-test (an increase of 4.84 cm). The average pre-test agility was 11.30 seconds, and it decreased to 10.33 seconds in the post-test (a reduction of 0.97 seconds). It can be concluded that the circuit training program can enhance the agility and limb muscle power of basketball athletes.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG143IT9

Abstract
The aim of the study is to determine how circuit training affects the fitness of volleyball players. This research employs an experimental approach using a “one-group pretest-posttest design”. The research instrument is the TKJI (Indonesian Physical Freshness Test) tailored for the age group of 16-19 years. The study population comprises volleyball players from the IPK Kuamang club, with a total of 20 individuals. Sampling was conducted using a targeted sampling technique, and the sample consisted of 10 individuals. Data analysis was carried out using the Liliefors normality test and t-test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results indicated a significant effect of circuit training on physical fitness, as evidenced by an average pre-test score of 12.3 and an average post-test score of 15.2. This conclusion is supported by the finding that t_count = 13.1 > t_table = 1.833 after completing the t-test. Therefore, H₀ is rejected, and H₁ is accepted. Hence, circuit training significantly impacts physical fitness.
