Abstract

Background. The increasing use of doping among athletes is often attributed to a lack of knowledge regarding anti-doping regulations. Education is considered a key factor in promoting doping-free sports. While conventional education methods are effective, the rise of information and communication technology (ICT) presents an opportunity to reach a broader audience. In the Fourth Industrial Revolution context, ICT-based education offers a more accessible and scalable approach to anti-doping education. Objectives. This research aims to develop a web-based anti-doping education model to improve athletes' knowledge and awareness of anti-doping practices. Methods. This study follows the ADDIE development model (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) for designing and developing the anti-doping education model. The model was then subjected to validity and practicality testing. The validity was assessed using Aiken's V coefficient, while practicality was evaluated through surveys completed by educators and participants. Results. The web-based anti-doping education model demonstrated high validity with an Aiken V value of 0.84. The model also received positive feedback regarding its practicality, with educators rating it at 85% and participants at 87.9%. Conclusion. The Edu-ADBW model is a valid and practical web-based anti-doping education tool that can significantly enhance athletes' understanding of anti-doping principles. It is an effective solution for promoting doping-free sports, especially in Indonesia. © 2025, Society of Aging and Physical Activity (SAPA). All rights reserved.
