“…Two studies assessed the criterion-related validity of flexibility: one analysed the back saver sit and reach test,45 and the other one analysed the trunk lift test46 (see supplementary material, table 2).…”

“…The results suggested that this test has a moderate validity to assess hamstring flexibility (r=0.51 to 0.72), and a low validity to assess the lower back flexibility (r=0.10 to 0.25). Paterson et al 46 reported that the correlations of trunk lift scores and the goniometry scores were moderate (r=0.70 for boys and r=0.68 for girls) in children of similar ranges of age.…”

Criterion-related validity of field-based fitness tests in youth: a systematic review

The objective of this systematic review was to comprehensively study the criterion-related validity of the existing field-based fitness tests used in children and adolescents. The studies were scored according to the number of subjects, description of the study population and statistical analysis. Each study was classified as high, low and very low quality. Three levels of evidence were constructed: strong evidence, when consistent findings were observed in three or more high quality studies; moderate evidence, when consistent findings were observed in two high quality studies; and limited evidence when consistency of findings and/or the number of studies did not achieve the criteria for moderate. The results of 73 studies (50 of high quality) addressing the criterion-related validity of field-based fitness tests in children and adolescents indicate the following: that there is strong evidence indicating that the 20 m shuttle run test is a valid test to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness, that the hand-grip strength test is a valid measure of musculoskeletal fitness, that skin fold thickness and body mass index are good estimates of body composition, and that waist circumference is a valid measure to estimate central body fat. Moderate evidence was found that the 1-mile run/walk test is a valid test to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness. A large number of other field-based fitness tests presented limited evidence, mainly due to a limited number of studies (one for each test). The results of the present systematic review should be interpreted with caution due to the substantial lack of consistency in reporting and designing the existing validity studies.

“…In one study on 88 boys and girls aged 11 -15 years, the ICC values for the trunk lift test ranged from 0.85 to 0.98, and proportion of agreement and kappa ranged from 0.93 to 1.0 and from 0.86 to 1.0, respectively [34] . In 40 boys and 32 girls aged 14 -18 years, signifi cant diff erences (P < 0.05) between test and retest were found for the box 90 ° dynamic trunk extension test but not for the trunk lift test [15] .…”

Reliability of Field-Based Fitness Tests in Youth

The objective of this systematic review was to study the reliability of the existing field-based fitness tests intended for use with children and adolescents. The medical electronic databases MEDLINE, SCOPUS and SPORTS DISCUS were screened for papers published from January 1990 to December 2009. Each study was classified as high, low or very low quality according to the description of the participants, the time interval between measurements, the description of the results and the appropriateness of statistics. 3 levels of evidence were constructed according to the number of studies and the consistency of the findings. 32 studies were finally included in the present review. The reliability of tests assessing cardiorespiratory fitness (9 studies), musculoskeletal fitness (12 studies), motor fitness (3 studies), and body composition (10 studies) was investigated. Although some fitness components warrant further investigation, this review provides an evidence-based proposal for most reliable field-based fitness tests for use with children and adolescents: 20-m shuttle run test to measure cardiorespiratory fitness; handgrip strength and standing broad jump tests to measure musculoskeletal fitness; 4×10 m shuttle run test for motor fitness; and height, weight, BMI, skinfolds, circumferences and percentage body fat estimated from skinfold thickness to measure body composition.

“…One, already noted, is that κ can reach its theoretical highest possible value of 1.0 only when the marginal distributions for the two raters' sets of data are the same. Some recent examples of the use of κ and modified κ to estimate interrater agreement can be found in McKenzie et al (1997) and Patterson, Rethwisch, and Wiksten (1997), respectively. Brennan and Prediger (1981) proposed a "modified kappa" for use in interrater reliability studies when the marginal proportions are free to vary (as opposed to fixed a priori).…”

The distinction between interrater (or interobserver, interjudge, interscorer) "agreement" and "reliability" is discussed. A total of 3 approaches or techniques for the estimation of interrater agreement and reliability are illustrated and compared, using data from a hypothetical study. The 3 approaches are (a) simple percentage of agreement and kappa, (b) simple correlational techniques, and (c) generalizability (G) theory techniques. In discussing the relative advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches, the G theory techniques are emphasized-because they are the most comprehensive and flexible, allowing the researcher to isolate multiple sources of measurement error in one study. Some recommendations regarding the "method of choice" for various situations are offered.
