Introduction: Performance in badminton demands optimal physical abilities, particularly leg explosiveness, ground reaction force, and reaction time. These three components play a crucial role in supporting rapid movement, changes of direction, and response to the shuttlecock.
Objective: This study aims to analyze the comparison of leg power, ground reaction force, and reaction time using digital and manual measurement systems in badminton.
Methodology: The method used was quantitative with a descriptive correlational design. The subjects were 20 male badminton athletes selected using a purposive sampling technique. Result: The results of the study showed that the correlation coefficient value for measuring the reaction time variable (r = 0.4360) leg power (r = 0.7602) and ground reaction force (r = 0.7638), while the reliability value was (reaction time r = 0.765; leg power r = 0.752; ground reaction force r = 0.845 respectively using a significance level of 0.05.
Discussion: Several previous studies have reported that leg power measurements using sensor-based digital devices, such as vertical jump systems or force plates, have good to excellent Intra class Correlation Coefficient values . This is due to the digital device's ability to automatically record flight time, jump height, and ground reaction force, thereby reducing measurement errors due to human factors.
Conclusions: The conclusion of this study is that both digital measurement systems and manual tests have an acceptable level of reliability in measuring athletes' physical components. However, the digital measurement system is considered superior in terms of objectivity, precision and data consistency.
