Relationship of Body Mass Index (BMI) and Sex in Adolescent Training Resistance

 Adolescents 18-21 years of age today have problems related to
movement that result in changes to resistance training. Exercise
resistance is expressed in VO2max. Body mass index and gender
are factors that influence VO2max. The purpose of this study is
to analyze the relationship between body mass index and sex
on VO2Max and to analyze how closely the relationship is. The
type of this study is an observational study with a purposive
sampling technique with a point time approach design with a
total of 183 samples with criteria for healthy samples aged 18-
21 years. The independent variable in this study was exercise
endurance (VO2max), and the dependent variable was body
mass index and gender. The data is processed using software for
data analysis. From the data normality test using Kolmogorov
Smirnov for Body Mass Index data with a value of 0.001, sex data
with a value of 0.000, VO2Max data with a value of 0.000 which
indicates abnormal data. Test Data analysis using the Spearman
rank test resulted in the value of gender and VO2max 0.001 with
r value of 0.203 and body mass index value and VO2max -0.015
with r value of 0.766.There is a correlation between body mass
index and sex on VO2Max.
