ABSTRACT
Endurance is the basic biomotor component that needs to be developed at the beginning of a workout. Today, some coaches do not recognize the importance of this basic biomotor ability in the development of other biomotor abilities. This study aimed to: (1) produce endurance exercise models for adolescent martial arts athletes; (2) investigate the effectiveness of the developed exercise models in improving the endurance of adolescent martial arts athletes. The study procedure employed steps adapted from the research and development model of Borg and Gall (1983), consisting of a preliminary study, development and expert validation, a small-scale tryout and revision, a large-scale tryout and revision, and creation of a final product. The results of the study were as follows: (1) the development produced a ten-exercise model in the form of a guidebook and DVD to improve the endurance of adolescent martial art athletes; (2) the result of the test of the effectiveness of this endurance exercise showed a significant t-test for pretest and post-test data with p = 0.000. Therefore, the exercises were effective in improving the endurance of teenage martial art athletes.
