Application of alacrity as a means to improve athlete’s agility

Agility and speed are two important factors that determine the performance of athletes in various sports. Currently, agility and speed measurements still rely on the use of a stopwatch and human response speed. Although this method has been used in various sports settings for many years. There are several underlying problems, including low levels of accuracy and consistency, the potential for trainer or assessor fatigue, timeconsuming data processing, and the need for proper agility measurement tools. By considering the problems from this background, this study aims to present the development of a touchless sensor-based agility and speed measurement tool that can help improve accuracy, consistency, and efficiency in measuring athlete agility and speed, namely “The Alacrity”. With this tool, athletes are expected to be able to plan appropriate training programs to improve their performance and process data manually because the results are presented in a special Windows application and can be viewed in real-time.
