Android System Based for measuring standing broad jump test among Reserve Officers Training Unit (ROTU)

Abstract

Android system with information technology elements designed to facilitate learning outcomes of a learning process more quickly, and effectively including in physical fitness test. The main aim of this study is to develop an android system for a standing broad jump test to be used among Reserve Officers Training Unit (ROTU) and then to measure the reliability of the test. Thirty (N=30) participants from ROTU Cadet Officers of National Defence University of Malaysia (NDUM) volunteered to participate in this study. The participants performed a standing broad jump test in two different occasions. All data recorded in the android system develop purposely for the test. The test-retest method was used to measure the reliability value of the android system. Pearson’s product movement correlation was used to investigate the reproducibility of the android system.  The findings showed the correlation coefficient between the trials is significant (r = 0.96, n = 30, p <0.001). The results of the study found that the value of the Pearson correlation coefficient for both tests was r = 0.96. The reliability testing showed a strong positive correlation of the use of an android system for measuring standing broad jump test It can be concluded that the android system is reliable an may facilitate the physical fitness test data to be obtained easily especially when assessing NDUM ROTU cadet officers.
