ABSTRACT
This study aims to develop a physical condition testing application for age group 1 swimmers using the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model. The research emphasizes the importance of physical fitness in enhancing athletic performance, particularly in swimming. Through analysis, surveys, and interviews with athletes and coaches, a significant need for assistive media to improve the assessment of swimmers' physical condition was identified. The designed application includes features to measure key physical attributes such as muscle strength, maximum oxygen volume, and endurance, all of which are crucial for achieving competitive performance. The methodology used is the ADDIE model, consisting of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. In the analysis phase, data were collected through surveys and interviews with athletes and coaches to identify the primary needs in assessing swimmers' physical conditions. The application was validated by experts in content, media, and linguistics, and its practicality was tested with athletes and educators. The validation results showed an Aiken's V value of 0.88, indicating very high validity. Practicality tests with athletes and educators yielded average scores above 85%, confirming the application's effectiveness and user-friendliness. Revisions were made based on feedback received, including improvements to the application interface and the addition of exercise examples. This research contributes positively to the development of swimming athletes by enhancing the quality of training. The application aims to be an effective tool for coaches in designing training programs tailored to the physical needs of athletes and continuously monitoring their fitness progress.
