The Effectiveness of Using Computer Integrated Anthropometry and Vertical Jump as Measuring Device

This research aimed at determining the effectiveness of the use of computer-integrated anthropometrics and vertical jump as a measuring device. The participants were 42 students aged 18-21 years old. The research design used was counterbalanced-design. The instrument used was the Integrated Anthropometric Test (IAT) to measure body weight (BW), body height (BH), arm span (AS), limb length (LL), and vertical jump (VJ) in one set of device and compared with Standard Anthropometric Test (SAT) consist of anthropometric measurements including BW, BH, AS and LL that follow the standard procedure from the International Standards for Anthropometric Assessment (ISAK) and Sargent Jump test to measure vertical jumps. The results showed that the IAT and SAT measurements had a validity measurement value of BW measurements of 0.994, BH of 0.969, AS of 0.820, LL of 0.745, and VJ of 0.903 with P <0.01, and the total duration of the IAT measurement process was 36 minutes 18 seconds, SAT was 1 hour 7 minutes 27 seconds. It was concluded that the Integrated Anthropometric Test (IAT) had a very high validity value for the BW, BH, AS, and VJ measurements and a high category for LL measurements so that it can be used as an anthropometric and vertical jump measurement device. IAT had a shorter measurement duration than SAT, thus it can be said that IAT had a good level of effectiveness.
