Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate a sensor-based standing board jump instrument designed to measure lower-limb explosive power with improved accuracy and digital integration. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach based on the Borg and Gall model, consisting of nine systematic stages: (1) needs analysis and information gathering, (2) planning, (3) prototype development, (4) preliminary field testing, (5) product revision, (6) main field testing, (7) operational revision, (8) operational field testing, and (9) final product refinement. The study population comprised students from the Faculty of Sport Science, Universitas Negeri Medan. A purposive sampling technique was applied, involving two testing phases: Phase I included 20 students, while Phase II involved 30 students specializing in soccer. The evaluation criteria focused on feasibility, usability, and measurement effectiveness of the developed instrument. The results indicated that the prototype demonstrated high feasibility and reliability, achieving a 96% validity score in Phase I and 91% in Phase II, both categorized as very feasible. These findings suggest that the sensor-based standing board jump tool provides a valid and efficient method for assessing explosive leg power, with enhanced precision compared to conventional manual measurement techniques. From a sport science perspective, the integration of sensor technology and digital data acquisition systems enables real-time performance monitoring and minimizes human error, aligning with current trends in technology-driven athletic assessment and training optimization [1], [2]. The developed instrument also supports objective data recording, which is essential for performance analysis, coaching evaluation, and athlete development programs. In conclusion, the sensor-based standing board jump device is scientifically valid, practically applicable, and suitable for broader implementation in sport performance testing environments. Future studies are recommended to examine its comparative accuracy against gold-standard biomechanical instruments and expand its application across different athletic populations.
