Abstract

Background Problems: The development of technology and sports science plays a crucial role in the world of sports. Research Objectives: The objective of this research is to create a volleyball smash drill training tool based on voice reaction in the form of an Android application as an innovation and to determine the level of impact produced by the tool. This volleyball smash training tool is equipped with a voice-reacting Android component that can be adjusted according to the user’s needs. Methods: The research employs both qualitative and quantitative research methods using the Research and Development (R&D) approach, encompassing stages such as needs analysis, development planning, expert validation, small-group testing, large-group testing, revisions, and final product development. To assess the effectiveness of the tool, experiments are conducted using the tool during training sessions. Data collection is carried out through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses are utilised for data analysis. Findings and Results: The research findings indicate that the Android-based voice command-reactive Acuspike volleyball product is deemed appropriate and can significantly contribute to athlete development, improving game quality, and overall volleyball sports development. However, the limitation of the research lies in the subject being studied at one location. Therefore, further research is recommended for broader generalisation over the long term. Conclusion: In conclusion, volleyball smash skills can be enhanced using the Acuspike volleyball smash tool, emphasising the importance of considering the use of Acuspike tools in both practicing and learning volleyball smash techniques.

Abstract

Background: Strength training is essential for developing physical performance in student-athletes, yet existing resistance-band tools generally target isolated limb movements and lack a wearable, integrated design. This creates a gap in the availability of portable and ergonomic training equipment suitable for the physical characteristics of adolescent athletes. Objective: This study aimed to develop a chest rig resistance band as a wearable strength-training device and to evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness. Methods: This research employed a mixed-method Research and Development (R&D) approach involving expert validation (three experts), a small-scale trial (12 student-athletes), a large-scale trial (60 student-athletes), product revisions, and an effectiveness test with 14 athletes. Data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive techniques for expert feedback and quantitative descriptive analysis for validation scores and performance improvements. Finding/Results: The Body Chest Rig Resistance Band RSZT 01 demonstrated high feasibility based on expert evaluations (81.94%-90%, very feasible category). Small-scale and large-scale trials also showed very feasible results (93% and 92%). Effectiveness testing revealed performance improvements, indicating that the device supports functional strength training for adolescent athletes. Conclusion: The Body Chest Rig Resistance Band RSZT 01 is feasible and effective as a portable, wearable strength-training device for student-athletes, offering a practical alternative to conventional equipment. Future studies should test the device on larger populations and over longer training periods to further validate its effectiveness.
