The sample for the Aiken V validity test was 7 lecturers and 333 respondents from various fitness facilities, such as fitness centers, swimming pools, sports fields, fitness studios, sports arenas, and communities, for the Cronbach's Alpha reliability test, the indicators assessed in this evaluation instrument are 1) Program Background, 2) Program Objectives, 3) Human Resources, 4) Programs, 5) Funding, 6) Infrastructure Facilities, 7) Program Implementation, 8) Coordination, 9) Achievements, 10) Obstacles.
Results: Validity test includes aspects of the suitability of the material with the research objectives, suitability of the material, material sequence procedures, questionnaire design, and the language used showing an Aiken V value of 0.8 - 0.9. Then, the Cronbach's alpha value> 0.7.
Conclusion: Thus, this evaluation instrument showed a valid and reliable value. Future research is expected to further refine the instrument through a larger population sample size and additional testing methods, such as test-retest, to improve its validity and reliability.
