Tempo test:like the running beep test, there are push-up beep tests where the push-ups are required to be done in time to an audio beep recording or following the rhythm of a metronome. For example, thetempo push-up testused in the FitnessGram, President's Challenge Fitness Awards and t...
The following information describes the procedures as once used for the NHL pre-draft testing combine (the test has since been replaced). There is a similar cadence push-up test used for the FitnessGram Program, the President's Challenge Fitness Awards and the Connecticut Physical Fitness Test....
When executing a push-up an individual lowers the body to a down position and then raises it to an up position. A down position often used in recent years is a 90° angle at the elbows (90° push-up) as in FITNESSGRAM. Several researchers have found the interscorer objectivity and ...
Criterion-referenced reliability was estimated with proportion of agreement (Pa), modified kappa (Kq), and Phi coefficient using the FITNESSGRAM(r) standards (Cooper Institute for Aerobics Research, 1999). Criterion-referenced test-retest reliability estimates were high for the push-up (Pa = .97,...
