Development of Training Aids (Remote Control and Headset) for Tunanetra Sprint Athletes

Abstract

Constraints faced when becoming a guide is to communicate technical training with tools, collaburation and excelation with athletes, and if there are health problems or injuries to the leg muscles it will not be possible to accompany athletes in training. All problems encountered step by step can be overcome, and all of them are done manually so it takes a long time. But the problems that occur remain an obstacle so that they are less than optimal when doing exercises (kolaburasi, accelerations, communication during training in the form of movement and sound codes). The purpose of this research is to find out and get information about "making the development of training aids (remote control and headsets) for blind sprint athletes as direction controllers when running sports training programs. The validation presentation of the questionnaire that was distributed to the sample shows that 94%-96% of them admit that the training aids (remote control and control) meet the criteria. Collaboration of motion acceleration, communication is one of the problems that often accurs, with the remote communication control has been standardized so that athletes can easily remember and respond to existing information making it easier for athletes to make decisions. This technology will act as a companion eye that can give a warning if an error occurs in the safe position of the visually impaired. At first the position of the blind athlete's hand. With the use of remote control the athlete is free to do exercises and techniques that have been mastered without worrying about the runners (guide).

Analisis Komparatif Kecepatan Atlet Tunanetra Saat Berlari dengan Guide Runner dan Teknologi

“…Pelaksanaan kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mempromosikan dan mengajak para penyandang disabilitas, dari segala usia untuk berolahraga dan berprestasi (Brown & Pappous, 2018). Kegiatan tersebut juga menuntut para atlet penyandang disabilitas menjadi pribadi yang lebih disiplin dan sportif dengan ditetapkan nya regulasi oleh NPC, baik dalam latihan maupun pertandingan (Nababan, 2018). Oleh karena itu, dari kegiatan ini diharapkan pengalaman dan pengetahuan nya dapat meningkat melalui setiap kegiatan yang di ikuti pada kelas atau klasifikasi masing-masing kebutuhan khusus.…”

“…Namun, ketika atlet berlari mengandalkan bantuan manusia, hal tersebut membuat performa dan usaha meraih prestasi menjadi tidak murni, karena harus ada intervensi dari guide runner. Berdasarkan hasil wawancara yang dilakukan oleh Nababan (2018) kepada Wakil Sekretaris Suliadi NPC Sumatra Utara mengatakan bahwa, kendala yang di hadapi atlet tunanetra nomor lari memiliki risiko paling besar dibandingkan cabang olahraga lainnya, seperti hal nya terjatuh, cidera, bahkan terluka saat latihan bersama guide runner maupun bertanding.…”

Text to Speech Using Finite State Automata on Health Data

“…Researchers have done a lot of research that makes the visually impaired as the object of their research, but the most research done is more on walking aids for the blind using computer vision [1], [2], GPS [3], [4], and ultrasonic [5], [6] however, there is only some research that discusses how the health condition of a blind person can be conveyed from text data into voice to blind people. This is considered very useful, as evidenced by research conducted that people with disabilities in reading are greatly helped by the presence of text-to-speech application [7].…”

Sports Comparison of Running Speed of Blind Athletes Using Technology Assistance and Guide Runner

“…The implementation of this activity aims to promote and invite persons with disabilities of all ages to exercise and Comparison Running Speed of Blind Athletes Using Technology Assistance and Guide Runner achieve (Brown & Pappous, 2018). This activity requires athletes with disabilities to become more disciplined and sporty individuals with the enactment of regulations by the National Paralympic Committee of Indonesia (NPCI), both in training and in competition (Nababan, 2018). Therefore, from this activity, it is hoped that his experience and knowledge can increase through each activity that is followed in the class or classification of each special need.…”

“…However, when athletes run relying on human assistance, this makes their performance and efforts to achieve achievements impure because there must be intervention from the guide runner. Deputy Secretary Suliadi of the North Sumatra NPCI said that the obstacles faced by blind athletes in running numbers have the most significant risk compared to other sports, such as falling, getting injured, and even being injured during training with guide runners and competing (Nababan, 2018). Furthermore, there are other obstacles when athletes rely on guide runners to run and achieve achievements in the Paralympics, such as making athlete training productivity dependent on the presence of guide runners.…”
