Footwork is a foot movement that brings the body to get the proper position so that it is easy to anticipate the blow and placement of the cock into the opponent's field. In its implementation, athletes are required to be able to move agile, agile and fast without losing balance and good coordination of movements to return the cock with good technique. The better the quality of footwork, the better the athlete's performance in the field. The current footwork test instrument is still manual and inefficient. To prevent human error, it is highly recommended to use digital devices. However, the current digital device has not been able to describe the characteristics and definition of the footwork due to the use of tools (rackets) and field distances that do not follow the actual situation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the right instrument for measuring digital-based badminton footwork skills so that the data obtained is valid and reliable. This type of research uses the RnD method with the Borg and Gall development model. Instrument design is based on needs analysis, brainstorming with practitioners, and improvements from previous footwork instruments developed and improved according to actual conditions in the field by adding special sensors designed to collect data digitally and accurately. The device was validated using expert judgment techniques involving measurement and evaluation test experts, sensor / IT experts, and badminton experts. The results of this study concluded that this test instrument is valid / very feasible to use to measure badminton footwork skills. © JPES.
