Abstract

Problem Statement. The use of proper and maximum exercise requires good and targeted training. Proper and maximum training is believed to boost athletes' performance. Before providing targeted training, it was necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis related to the lack of movement by athletes when running and jumping over obstacles in the athletics hurdles number. Purpose. To conduct an in-depth analysis related to the performance of hurdling athletes through sports technology with the help of Kinovea software so that it can find out the weaknesses and shortcomings of athletes' movements. Methods. The type of research was a descriptive analysis with survey methods with samples of local, national and international athletes. The research implementation phase included recording training on local athletes using high-resolution cameras and video analysis of national and international athlete recordings. The analysis used Kinovea software, new version 0.9.5, with two-dimensional cinematography analysis. Results. The results of the obtained research showed that some differences can be seen in speed, movement when star, movement when jumping, and movement when in the air. Local runners altered acceleration and tended to experience a decrease in acceleration when passing obstacles. As for national runners, there was a slight change in acceleration that is slightly consistent. International runners had a very striking acceleration with the consistency of acceleration over obstacles, and it was also seen that at some stages, the joint angle of international runners tended to be more effective as a reference source in determining joint angles for training. Conclusions. The analysis showed that a striking difference in the athlete's acceleration and joint angle when passing the goal. © JPES.
