Abstract:Background
Investigate the construct validity (known-group and convergent validity) and test-retest reliability of the recently developed test for cardiorespiratory fitness, the Modified Shuttle Test-Paeds (Paeds).
Methods
A total of 144 participants (6-12y) were tested on the Paeds and 84 children on the 20-meter Shuttle Run test (20m-SRT) to examine construct validity. To evaluate test-retest reliability 46 children were tested twice on the Paeds.
Results
No gender differences were found but there was an … Show more
