Abstract

The purpose of this study was to create a formula for presenting data on the physical condition of karate athletes in the form of application software on android. This research uses Research and Development approach. The population and samples in this study are students of the Physical Education Health and Recreation (40 people) who are taking karate courses and PPLP athletes in North Sumatra (15 people). The results of the research obtained from the validation of expert tests and field expert tests (North Sumatra Student Education and Training Centerathletes and Faculty of Sports Sciences students) showed that the physical condition test application software of karate sports meets the criteria of acceptability in accordance with aspects of usability, feasibility, accuracy and propriety. The score obtained from the validation of media expert test (72.7%), validation of material expert test (81.5%) and field expert test (79.8%) fall into a good category and do not need revision. Thus, the application of physical condition tests of karate sports can be used as a medium in the service of implementation instructions, information and evaluation of tests and measurement of the physical condition of karate athletes.

Summary

Introduction

Success in any arena is usually the result of planning, hard work, commitment, and is no exception through physical training. All successful athletes are trained individuals who excel in certain physical activities and have typically participated in well-designed long-term training programs for several years. In sports, training is the process of carrying out repeated progressive exercises or work that increases the potential to achieve optimal performance. This means a long-term training program that conditions the body and mind for specific competitions and leads to excellence in performance. Physical training can begin in childhood so that athletes can progressively and systematically develop their bodies and minds to achieve long-term excellence rather than momentary success but produce fatigue. The motivation to excel is the tendency to act towards achieving goals (Rutkowska&Gierczuk, 2020)
