The research aimed to investigate the effect of oxygen saturation on students before and after physical basketball training. This research employed an experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest research design. A total of 40 students, comprising 21 female students aged 18-20 years and 19 male students aged 18-20 years, participated in the research. Respondents were given treatment in the form of a 5 vs. 5 basketball game for 20 minutes. The saturation value was measured using a pulse oximetry device. Oxygen saturation was measured before exercise and after exercise. The statistical analysis technique used the t-dependent sample test with a significance level of 5%. The results of this study showed that the average oxygen saturation of male students at the pre-test was 96.47% and 95.47% at the post-test. For female students, the average pre-test oxygen saturation was 96.29% and 95.10%. Overall, the average oxygen saturation value before exercise was 96.38% and decreased after exercise to 95.28%. Based on the results of statistical calculations, there was no notable change in oxygen saturation values after basketball physical training (t-observation 2.157 < t-table 2.44). There was no notable change in oxygen saturation after physical exercise or a decrease in oxygen saturation, indicating that basketball training did not necessitate an increased oxygen uptake by the tissue. During the period, the peripheral appeared to function normally with no observed rise in oxygen uptake. Based on the research results, a physical exercise carried out for 20 minutes did not affect oxygen saturation. © JPES.
