Background
Physical fitness plays a crucial role in football performance, enabling athletes to maintain endurance, reduce injury risks, and optimize game strategies. However, monotonous training routines can decrease player motivation, as observed in Palu Putra FC. Jump rope training offers a simple, low-cost, and engaging alternative to improve cardiovascular endurance, muscle strength, agility, and coordination.
Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of jump rope games as a training method to enhance the physical fitness of Palu Putra FC football players.
Methods
A two-day training program was implemented on June 21–22, 2025, involving 22 football players. The intervention combined group and individual jump rope exercises, focusing on endurance, leg muscle strength, agility, and coordination. Physical fitness was assessed through pre- and post-tests, and player satisfaction was measured using questionnaires.
Results
Nineteen players (86.4%) showed significant improvements in physical fitness indicators, while three players (13.6%) recorded no notable progress due to fatigue, technical limitations, or incomplete attendance. Participant satisfaction was high, with 21 players (95.5%) reporting the program as effective, enjoyable, and beneficial.
Conclusion
Jump rope training is an effective, engaging, and low-cost method to enhance football players’ physical fitness. Incorporating such training into regular routines can improve endurance, strength, agility, and coordination while sustaining player motivation.
