Abstract

This study aims to assess the load exercise of sepaktakraw athletes based on the heart rate of athletes. This survey research uses a quantitative approach. The subjects were 20 sepaktakraw athletes. The initial stage was to take athlete heartbeat data before and after exercise. The next process were calculating energy expenditure, energy consumption, and cardiovascular load (% CVL) for the exercise load assessment process. The resulting output was a classification of the exercise load of sepaktakraw athlete and recommendations for sepaktakraw athletes. The result of CVL% calculation shows that 20 sepaktakraw athletes are in the range 30% up to 60% CVL so that classification needs improvement.
