Abstract
Background
Endurance is a condition that is showed continuous work capacity.
Interpreted same as physical fitness is the ability of someone to complete
everyday tasks without experiencing significant fatigue. Cardiorespiratory
endurance is a main factor in physical fitness. Measurement of
cardiorespiratory endurance for aerobic capacity can be done by measuring the
maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).
Purpose
To see if there
are differences of endurance level between personality type A male and
personality type B male.
Method
A total of 60
research subjects who previously had been filtered through a questionnaire
consist of 30 male with personality type A and 30 male with personality type B.
The endurance level was measured by assessing the value of VO2max indirectly
with Astrand 6 minutes cycle test method. Independent sample t test was used to
see differences VO2max values between male type A personality type B
personality.
Result
Results
showed the mean value of VO2max in the group personality type A male is 31.8393
± 2.14534 ml/ kg/ min and the mean value of VO2max in the group personality
type B is 36.3470 ± 3.15498 ml/ kg /min. Found significant differences between
personality type A male and personality type B male (p = 0.000).
Conclusion
In conclusion there are different levels of endurance between personality
type A male and personality type B male. Male with personality type A have
lower levels of endurance than male with personality type B.
