The crouch start is a fundamental technique in sprinting that requires in-depth biomechanical analysis to optimize performance. The use of Kinovea software as a motion analysis tool provides an objective approach to evaluating start techniques. This study aims to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of the crouch start (bounce start) among Sports Science students using video analysis with Kinovea software. The research employed a survey method with a descriptive quantitative design. The sample consisted of 22 Sports Science students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through video recordings of the crouch start technique and analyzed using Kinovea software to measure biomechanical parameters, including knee angle, hip angle, reaction time, and initial velocity. The analysis revealed an average knee angle of 108.5° ± 12.3° in the "set" position, a hip angle of 45.2° ± 8.7°, a reaction time of 0.18 ± 0.04 seconds, and an initial velocity of 4.2 ± 0.6 m/s. These findings indicate that Kinovea software is effective as a tool for biomechanical analysis of the crouch start and provides objective data to support technical evaluation.
