Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop a target goal time response measuring system for martial art training. Methods: In this paper, a time-frequency spectral analysis software for the computer-aided analysis of target goal response time has been developed with NI LabVIEW version 8.0, the hardware design of second generation martial art target goal time response measuring system was reproduced the specification from first generation martial art response time detection training system developed in year 2004; after the software were well designed and hardware components were implemented, both software and hardware components were integrated into the system. Twenty-one undergraduate students were randomly selected from Chang Gung University in this study. For the system validation test, the study design of response time of eye-hand horizontal vision during reaction was performed (Ludeke & Ferreira, 2003); subjects were instructed to finish the evaluation in certain time, and the continuous experimental tests were last for 2 days, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis was applied as a measure of reliability. Results: The ICC for dominant hand reaction is 0.9, 95% confidence interval 0.774~0.958, P value is 0.000 (**p<.01); and the ICC for non-dominant hand reaction is 0.844, 95% confidence interval 0.661~0.933, P value is 0.000 (**p<.01), therefore, the ICC from both dominant and non-dominant hand showed significant difference. Experimental results of the second generation martial art target goal time response measuring system showed high reliability. Conclusion: The component of hardware design of second generation martial art target goal time response measuring system were increased and improved, 14 pieces touch sensor and a microcontroller were developed and added into the second generation system. In addition, the human machine interface software was also developed. After refinement and a series of experiment were carried out, the experimental results showed second generation martial art target goal time response measuring system has a higher reliability than the first generation. In the future, the application and practice of the proposed system may potentially enhance the response time of martial art contestant response time and assisted the martial art training coaches for understanding the performance of response time in reaching the best response time of contestant. In addition, the proposed system is very light weight and portable; it is not only suggested to promote the martial art training coaches an option of response time training device, but generally apply in different sports items.
