Abstract

The purpose of this research is to develop a tool for sprint athletes to set the direction in implementing the training program. This study uses the research and development method of Research and Development, namely the research method used to produce certain products and to test the effectiveness of these products. The research was conducted in 3 (three) places, namely 2 (two) schools SLB-A Yapentra and SLB-A Karya Murni and 1 (one) visual blind sprint athlete NPC North Sumatra. From the results of running trials for athletes and guides after the sprint using a remote control and headset, athletes and guides are given a questionnaire and answered according to their respective understanding. Blind athletes filled out a questionnaire assisted by the research team. From the results of a broader field test of 16 blind athletes and 5 guides / coaches, it can be concluded that development of assistive devices for blind sprint athletes meets the criteria, namely 94% - 98% can be continued. to the next stage.
