The effect of vo2max on muscle oxygen saturation (SMO2) in University Badminton Athletes

Muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) is an additional physiological parameter that helps identify the transition from aerobic to anaerobic workload. Additionally, it can be used to predict performance by calculating Vo2 and energy expenditure. Muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) is a measure of oxygen saturation in muscle tissue that can be used to evaluate metabolic zones, training intensity, and athlete performance. An athlete's muscle oxygen saturation (SMO2) is a measure of how well their muscles use oxygen, which is important for evaluating performance and creating training programs. This research is a week-long experimental study with a one-shot case study design, research intends to look at the effect of Vo2Max on muscle oxygen saturation (SMO2) in university badminton athletes. The subjects of this research are student athletes who actively practice badminton. There were 6 respondents who were willing to be research subjects and had met the specified criteria, namely actively exercising three times a week and being in good health. Then the author took data on athletes who had the highest and lowest Vo2Max to analyze SMO2 optimization, which was the focus of this research. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant influence between Vo2max and SMO2 optimization; this can be seen by the difference through the t test with a sig (2-tailed) value of 0.000 < 0.05. Another finding is that athletes with higher Vo2max show better SMO2 recovery results. better than athletes with low Vo2max; in this study, athletes with higher Vo2max showed a 37% increase in SMO2 over two minutes, while athletes with lower Vo2max showed a 21% increase. This is an interesting finding for coaches and athletes regarding the importance of Vo2 max capacity in optimizing SMO2.
