Abstract
Adolescence is a period that is vulnerable to being influenced by the environment, at a young age it is very at risk for negative behavior. The role of physical activity or sport is a means to prevent adolescents from negative influences. However, this sports activity is not carried out regularly and the duration is very short at school, both intra-curricular and extra-curricular. Sport through physical education in schools tends to always experience curriculum changes so that the duration of sports activities becomes shorter. Currently, many teenagers are doing sports activities such as futsal games. Futsal games are useful for improving physical fitness, brain neuroplasticity which stimulates cognitive function in adolescents. The method used is an experimental method using a pre-post test design on adolescents aged 15-18 years. 40 research subjects (students who take futsal extracurricular activities at Sman 8 Bandung) were randomly divided into 2 treatment groups, namely the goal setting group and the conventional group. Treatment was given in 16 meetings. In this study the research procedure uses a ranking system from the initial test and then divides it in a zig-zag or A-B-B-A way. The research instruments used were the consentration grid exercise instrument, digit span and academic potential test. The results of the calculation of the significant test for the conventional group t value = -4.51 with degrees of freedom = 6-1 = 5, α = 0.05 and obtained Sig(2-tailed) = 0.000 <0.05 with a large increase of 4%, while the results significant test calculation experimental group t value = -28.59 and obtained Sig(2-tailed) = 0.000 <0.05 with a 12% increase, so there is a significant difference in increase between the experimental group and the conventional group
