Abstract : Cardiorespiratory endurance is the main indicator of physical readiness of Physical Education students as prospective educators who are required to have a high physical activity capacity. Empirical studies on the cardiorespiratory capacity profile of students in regional universities are still limited, especially those using standardized measurement procedures and norm-based interpretations. This study aims to map the cardiorespiratory endurance profile of Physical Education students at Mulawarman University using the 15 Minute Run Test (Balke Test) with interpretation based on VO₂max classification norms according to fitness categories (very good, good, moderate, poor, and very poor). The study used a quantitative descriptive design with a survey approach. The research subjects were 39 students (20 males and 19 females) who were determined through a total sampling technique. The Balke Test distance data were converted into VO₂max estimates and analyzed descriptively in the form of percentages based on fitness categories and gender. The results showed that the majority of students were in the moderate category, with a tendency for male students cardiorespiratory capacity to be higher than female students. These findings indicate that students' cardiorespiratory capacity is not optimal, thus requiring systematic and continuous strengthening of aerobic exercise programs as part of the professional development of prospective physical education teachers. The novelty of this research lies in mapping the cardiorespiratory endurance profile of Physical Education students in East Kalimantan using standardized field measurements (Balke Test) with interpretation based on VO₂max norms as the basis for formulating exercise program recommendations.
Abstract : Daya tahan kardiorespirasi merupakan indikator utama kesiapan fisik mahasiswa Pendidikan Jasmani sebagai calon pendidik yang dituntut memiliki kapasitas aktivitas fisik tinggi. Kajian empiris mengenai profil kapasitas kardiorespirasi mahasiswa di lingkungan perguruan tinggi daerah masih terbatas, khususnya yang menggunakan prosedur pengukuran terstandar dan interpretasi berbasis norma. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memetakan profil daya tahan kardiorespirasi mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Jasmani Universitas Mulawarman menggunakan Tes Lari 15 Menit (Balke Test) dengan interpretasi berdasarkan norma klasifikasi VO₂max menurut kategori kebugaran (sangat baik, baik, sedang, kurang, dan sangat kurang). Penelitian menggunakan desain deskriptif kuantitatif dengan pendekatan survei. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 39 mahasiswa (20 laki-laki dan 19 perempuan) yang ditentukan melalui teknik total sampling. Data jarak tempuh Tes Balke dikonversi menjadi estimasi VO₂max dan dianalisis secara deskriptif dalam bentuk persentase berdasarkan kategori kebugaran dan jenis kelamin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan mayoritas mahasiswa berada pada kategori sedang, dengan kecenderungan kapasitas kardiorespirasi mahasiswa laki-laki lebih tinggi dibandingkan perempuan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas kardiorespirasi mahasiswa belum optimal sehingga diperlukan penguatan program latihan aerobik yang sistematis dan berkelanjutan sebagai bagian dari pembinaan profesional calon guru pendidikan jasmani. Kebaruan penelitian terletak pada pemetaan profil daya tahan kardiorespirasi mahasiswa Pendidikan Jasmani di Kalimantan Timur menggunakan pengukuran lapangan terstandar (Balke Test) dengan interpretasi berbasis norma VO₂max sebagai dasar perumusan rekomendasi program latihan.
