2.4 Km Running Training Method: Whether There Is An Effect On Changes In Blood Glucose Levels In Handball Athletes

Changes in blood glucose levels play an important role in maintaining the fitness of athletes, especially in the sport of handball. This research uses an experimental method with a quantitative type of research. The sample consisted of 20 people taken using total sampling technique. The instrument used for blood glucose levels is a glucometer which has been standardized by a health analyst before use. The data analysis technique uses the t test with a sig value. 0.05. The research results showed that the results obtained were 5.125 with a P value = 0.000 0.05. This means that there is a significant influence between changes in blood glucose levels before and after the 2.4 km running treatment in handball athletes. This can be seen from the average value of 95.45 mg/dl, as well as a standard deviation of 27.32mg/dl in the initial data on changes in blood glucose levels, and an average value of 88.23 mg/dl, also a standard deviation value of 24.16 mg/dl. So it can be concluded that there is a significant influence of the 2.4 km running training method on changes in blood glucose levels. Using the 2.4 km running method, you get a good impact if you do this activity consistently.
