Description
Summary:The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of using an infrared camera-based running sensor to measure running speed in athletes and compare it with a stopwatch. With the hope of being able to answer the problems that occur in running sports related to the accuracy of the speed measuring device. The research method used in this research is quantitative. The sample used in this study consisted of 20 Indonesian trainers (aged 25-35 years) from various sports. The sample used was obtained from the entire population. The field scheme used in this study can be described as follows. The participants will take turns being asked to do the Illinois (8 Run for Measure Ability and Agility) to collect data using an infrared camera and a stopwatch; data was collected in the form of time that was successfully measured by the participants. Then, T run and short distance (10 m) run are performed. Based on the results of the research that has been done, it is known that the highest distribution of data in the three components measured indicates that the measurement with the stopwatch method is greater than the measurement with the infrared method, or the use of an infrared-based sensor camera. higher accuracy than the stopwatch method in measuring running speed in the T run, Illinois, and the 10 m dash. Thus it can be concluded that the use of an infrared-based sensor camera has higher accuracy than the stopwatch method in measuring running speed. These results are expected to have a positive impact on the sports industry in the future.
