This study aims to determine the influence and effectiveness of small-sided game exercises on the increase in VO2 max and passing accuracy. This research was carried out at the Borneo Indoor Futsal Banjarmasin field from June to July. The treatment was given 15 times with a frequency of 3 times a week. One group pretest-posttest is used as a design in this study. The population recruited by the researchers was futsal players at SMAN 1 Banjarmasin. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used for a sample of 16 individuals. This study utilized a multistage fitness test with a validity of 0.408 and reliability of 0.875 to measure VO2 max and a lowball passing test with a test validity of 0.710 and reliability of 0.703 to determine passing accuracy. SPSS is utilized for data analysis procedures, including normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing. Normality and homogeneity data from this investigation also indicated that distribution is normal and homogeneous (sig. > 0.05). The results of hypothesis testing show a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, which concludes that small-sided games practice affects the increase of VO2 max and the passing accuracy of futsal players at SMAN 1 Banjarmasin. In addition, this study also showed that small-sided game exercises effectively increase VO2 max with a percentage increase of 9.35%. Meanwhile, the percentage increase in passing accuracy was 41%. Based on these findings, the small-sided games exercise program is an effective game-based exercise program for increasing VO2 max and passing accuracy for futsal players. © 2023 by authors, all rights reserved.
