Abstract

Currently, information technology is developing very rapidly, thus encouraging competition to advance technology both in education and in the sports industry. Existing physical fitness measuring instruments have not been designed for Android applications. This measuring instrument is expected to provide knowledge and skills related to physical fitness measurement and Android-based health components for students. The research and development method included 10 stages with research subjects of children aged 10-12. The physical fitness measuring instruments used are the Body Mass Index (BMI) test, V Sit and Reach Test, Handgrip Dynamometer, 30-second Sit-up, and Bleep Test. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests based on the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Cronbach's alpha with SPSS 25. The results of the study stated that the Android application that helps in measuring the physical fitness level of children aged 10-12 years with a validity value of 90 in the valid category. The development of Android-based physical fitness test instruments can be applied to children aged 10-12 years to assess their physical fitness level. By using this application, it will be easier to measure the physical fitness level of students in that age group.
