Abstract

Exercise is an essential contributor to physical and psychological well-being. Regular exercise reduces many chronic diseases, such as heart diseases, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, etc. Pull-down is one of the Weight Training exercises. Engaging in physical activities such as Weight training, stretching exercises and aerobic exercises requires proper execution and awareness of the exercises to avoid bodily injuries and get maximal results. In this study, software that can analyse technique exercise of Pull-down. As research material, because of a degree, each human elbow is different, distribution data of Trainer elbow degree is calculated using measure standard deviation and displayed as a normal distribution graph. The method used in this study to analyse proper Pull-down exercise technique is compared to elbow angle Trainee with elbow angle Trainer. The output of this software is elbow angle, the correctness of the methods performed by the Trainee. The average percentage of accuracy from the results of testing the analysis software using the value of the angle of 56.87 ° ± 7 ° Trainer is 88%.
