The questionnaires were used to collect data and analyze by percentage, mean, and standard deviation. The results showed that the evaluation of the system in the program found that overall the better level and each aspects functional test found that the better level, functional requirement test, usability test and integrity test are in the good level, respectively. The researcher summarizes the results of the project found that the program shows the proper exercise style, correct, easy to use program. Equipment problems found that there are limitations in use the system can only be used with Windows and the system can be used with maximum efficiency when connecting to the Kinect diver. Suggestions for program development are beautiful designs and regularly updating information and increase the stability of the sensor.
