Development of a Volleyball Test Instrument Model

Abstract

This study's problem stems from that the volleyball skills test instrument used so far has not fully measured the volleyball skills possessed by athletes. Therefore, it is necessary to have an adequate instrument to assess these two sides, both in accuracy and motion evaluation. This research developed a volleyball skill test instrument such as the bottom pass, smash, and top service that involved athletes and volleyball coaches from West Sumatra. It was conducted at 5 West Sumatra volleyball clubs, totaling 60 athletes. In the first stage, a limited trial was carried out on 25 athletes from the total population. The second stage was tested on 60 athletes and involved 21 trainers for both practicality testing and effectiveness testing. The standardization process was carried out through several tests, namely: (1) validity testing, (2) reliability testing, (3) practicality testing, and (4) effectiveness testing. The resulting volleyball skill instrument consists of three instruments, namely (1) the lower passing instrument, (2) the Smash instrument, and (3) the upper service instrument. The three instruments' applicability has also been tested in practical terms with an average achievement of 85.17 and effectiveness with an average of 85 (practical) usability. This study concludes that creating a standard instrument can be used to test the three mastery of volleyball skills, namely the lower pass, smash, and volleyball service skills.

Comparative Analysis of Adaptations Progress in VO2max, Leg Power, and Agility among Male and Female Sports Science Students

“…Each component of physical fitness, aligned with its energy system, should be trained according to the training objectives aimed at enhancing the specific physical fitness component. This study is in line with previous studies that there is an increase in cardiovascular endurance capacity (VO2Max) through the continuous circuit and competitive circuit training (Ariani et al, 2022;Rifki et al, 2022Rifki et al, , 2023. This is consistent with research suggesting that continuous running, such as marathons, can have a positive impact on cardiovascular capacity and health (Nystoriak & Bhatnagar, 2018).…”

Design of a sensor technology-based hand-eye coordination measuring tool: Validity and reliability

“…The absolute assessment that must be fulfilled in developing an instrument or measuring tool is validity and reliability (Rifki et al, 2022;Susiono et al, 2024). Validity refers to the accuracy of what the instrument is intended to measure, while reliability refers to the consistency of data obtained repeatedly in the same situation (Heale & Twycross, 2015;Lexell & Downham, 2005).…”

Design of Power Sensor Based Test Instrument for Limb Muscle

“…Several previous studies have attempted to develop technology-based tests and measurements such as: touched on the effectiveness and efficiency of the product development of exercise programs general preparation physical based on Android [32], designed and evaluated a mobile application that could be used as an alternative in measuring the Physical Fitness [33], developed a volleyball skill test instrument [34] [35], produce development products for physical education sport and health learning media based on android applications [36]. The development of the vertical jump test instrument that has ever been of digital based vertical jump test instruments [37] and developed with camera kinect [38].…”
