What is “ALPHA”? “ALPHA” is a tool that allows you to measure, aggregate, and analyze physical fitness tests on any device, such as a PC or tablet. Traditionally, physical fitness tests were conducted using analog methods, such as students filling out records on paper and teachers transcribing them into Excel. “ALPHA” allows each person to use a tablet device to easily measure, aggregate, and analyze data digitally. Features of “ALPHA” 〇Significantly reduces the time required to input physical fitness test results In the conventional method, teachers manually transferred the data that students filled out on recording forms one by one into an Excel file. On the other hand, with ALPHA, students can input their own records into digital devices from the student page, and view and modify them in list form from the teacher page. Furthermore, we will use the data entered in “ALPHA” to provide information to the Board of Education. The administrative work for faculty members is greatly reduced as submission files are created. ○Achieve unprecedented speedy data linkage With paper-based physical fitness tests, it took several weeks or months for the results slip containing the overall evaluation and scores to be returned. “ALPHA” not only reflects your results in real time, but also allows you to instantly watch recommended exercise videos based on your results. 〇Compatible with all devices (web app that does not require installation) “ALPHA” does not matter what type of device or browser you use.
