Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Training programs are designed to maintain the athlete's healthy and fitness state, but most importantly it prepares the athletes and players for the physical demands of competition. Governor Felicisimo T. San Luis Integrated SHS is one of the schools that implement High-intensity Interval Training for all sports events available, especially Futsal. As observed and determined by the researchers, the HIIT program is positively applied by the Futsal Team, however there is a need to determine if the HIIT Program has an actual impact to the overall performance of the Futsal Team in various competitions.

METHODS

The research study is a descriptive research design. The research study was conducted through a questionnaire. The respondents were only limited to students, specifically the Futsal Players; both male and female from the Junior High School and Senior High School department, including their respective trainers and coaches.

RESULTS

The summary output of the research shows that the Multiple Regression is positive 0.69, meaning that there is a significant positive impact of the three (3) independent variables which are: Training Program's Effectiveness, Coach / Trainer's Guidance and Athlete's Improvement, to the Futsal players' sports performance. Indicated by the Regression, p<0.05, whereas the Null Hypothesis of the research will be rejected given that the final outcome of p is 0.034<0.05.The overall weighted means of 4.76, 4.79, 4.67, 4.90 and 4.71 were obtained from the results.

DISCUSSIONS

Since the first independent variable was derived with the mean of 4.76, it can be concluded that there is a "Very High" impact of the training program to the performance of the futsal players. The second independent variable derived with a mean of 4.52, it can be concluded that there is a "Very High" impact of the Coach / Trainer's guidance to the performance of the athletes. The third independent variable derived with the mean of 4.11, it can be concluded that there is a "High" impact of the athlete's improvement to their performance. The overall performance derived with a mean of 3.71 that concluded that there is a significant impact of the three independent variables to the performance of the Futsal Players.

Future researchers may apply this research, particularly the HIIT training program, for various sports events that need a higher rate of improvement and performance to their training routine in order to prepare for various sports competitions.
