Abstract

The rapid development of science and technology has an impact on the development of sports, both achievement sports, educational sports, and recreational sports. The use of technology and sport science is very important for the advancement of sports achievements. One of these implementations is the stage of testing and measuring physical conditions using instruments with a low level of human error. The purpose of this study was to analyze the need for the development of a digital technology-based push up test as an instrument for arm muscle strength. This research is a survey research that uses a quantitative descriptive approach. 256 respondents with a background as a lecturer at the Faculty of Sports and Health Undiksha, as well as athletes from Buleleng Regency, Badung Regency, Bangli Regency and Denpasar City filled out a questionnaire consisting of six statements. Questionnaires are used to determine the opinion of respondents on the needs of the developed instrument. Based on the results of the survey, the majority of respondents experienced difficulties in doing push up according to the procedure, and they stated that the manual push up test was prone to human error during calculations. Thus, all respondents agree with the development of digital technology-based arm muscle strength instruments. Referring to the results of the research above, this data can be one of the basic considerations in the development of a digital technology-based push up test which is intended in the process of measuring arm muscle strength with a good level of validity.

Abstract

Accurate physical condition measurement results are obviously determined by the quality of the instrument, namely a valid and reliable instrument. Developing a push-up measurement tool combined with technology is an urgent need. Moreover, this study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Push-Up Counter (PUC) as a sensor-based measurement of arm muscle strength. This research is development research that focuses on uncovering the validity and reliability values of PUC using a quantitative approach. The validity value was obtained from the assessment of three experts by conducting questionnaire which has four main aspects, namely: instructions, components, safety, and usage. 30 athletes/students were involved as the subject participants in measuring the PUC reliability. Furthermore, the data collection were analyzed by using SPSS to determine the value of r. This study found that the PUC was valid (r = 0.88). The Cronbach Alpha value of this reliability instrument was r = 0.41. Referring to the validity and reliability result, it can be concluded the PUC was feasible and elligible to be used in measuring the arm muscle strength in the process of physical test. However, PUC operation is not yet integrated with smartphones. These results also provide opportunities for further research in developing application-based PUC devices or Android.
