Pelatihan beban latihan (training load) menjadi salah satu strategi penting dalam meningkatkan prestasi atlet, kurangnya pemahaman pelatih dan atlet terkait perhitungan training load menjadi fokus utama tim pengabdian untuk memfasilitasi. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan konsep perhitungan training load di Barracuda’s Swimming Club guna meminimalkan risiko cedera, overtraining, dan meningkatkan kinerja atlet. Training load terbagi menjadi beban latihan eksternal dan internal, di mana beban eksternal mengukur pekerjaan fisik yang dilakukan atlet, sedangkan beban internal mengevaluasi respons fisiologis dan psikologis terhadap latihan. Melalui pendekatan Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), program pengabdian ini melibatkan kolaborasi dengan pelatih, atlet, dan wali atlet untuk menyusun dan mengimplementasikan program yang tepat. Kegiatan pelatihan mencakup dua sesi, dengan materi mengenai perhitungan training load, Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD), manajemen beban latihan, serta peran nutrisi dalam mendukung performa atlet. Hasil dari pretest dan posttest menunjukkan peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman peserta mengenai training load. Berdasarkan analisis Paired T-Test, terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara skor pretest dan posttest dengan p-value 0,000, menegaskan bahwa pelatihan ini efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman peserta terkait penghitungan training load. Dengan demikian, program ini dapat membantu pelatih dalam mengambil keputusan untuk mengatur beban latihan, meminimalkan cedera, dan memaksimalkan potensi atlet.

Abstract

Training load training (training load) is one of the essential strategies for improving athlete performance. The lack of understanding of coaches and athletes regarding training load calculations is the main focus of the service team. This activity aims to apply the concept of training load calculation at Barracuda's Swimming Club to minimize the risk of injury and overtraining and improve athlete performance. Training load is divided into external and internal training loads, where external loads measure the physical work done by athletes, while internal loads evaluate physiological and psychological responses to exercise. Through a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) approach, this service program collaborates with coaches, athletes, and guardians to develop and implement an appropriate program. Training activities included two sessions, with material on training load calculation, Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD), training load management, and the role of nutrition in supporting athlete performance.  The pre-test and post-test results significantly increased participants' understanding of the training load. Based on the Paired T-Test analysis, there was a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores with a p-value of 0.000, confirming that the training was effective in improving participants' understanding of training load calculation. Therefore, this program plays a crucial role in empowering coaches to make informed decisions to manage training loads, minimize injuries, and maximize athletes' potential.
