This study was conducted based on the need to understand the VO₂Max endurance capacity of volleyball athletes from the Maha Jaya Club, as aerobic endurance plays a crucial role in sustaining performance during high-intensity matches. The objective of this research was to determine the level of VO₂Max endurance among male volleyball athletes of the Maha Jaya Club. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method, maintaining consistency with the structural quantitative research paradigm. Data were collected using the Multistage Fitness Test (bleep test) conducted on a 20-meter field to assess aerobic capacity. The test results were recorded in terms of levels and shuttles completed, then converted into VO₂Max values using standardized norms. The collected data were analyzed descriptively to determine the classification of athletes’ endurance levels. The findings revealed that the VO₂Max endurance levels of the athletes varied significantly. Specifically, 2 athletes (10%) were categorized as very good, 3 athletes (15%) as good, 6 athletes (30%) as moderate, and 9 athletes (45%) as poor. Overall, the average VO₂Max level was classified as poor, indicating that most athletes have not yet achieved optimal aerobic endurance. In conclusion, the VO₂Max endurance of Maha Jaya Club volleyball athletes remains below optimal standards, highlighting the need for structured and systematic training programs to improve cardiovascular fitness and enhance performance.
