Reliability of a modification of the health-related physical fitness test for use with physical education majors.
A modified form of the AAHPERD Health-Related Physical Fitness Test was administered to a sample of 200 college physical education majors. The skinfold measures were changed from the original test, and the flexed-arm hang was added to the test battery. The validity and reliability of the test battery has been established for middle school boys and girls. This study determined the multivariate reliability of the modified test battery using a canonical correlation model. The univariate intraclass reliabilities of the test items ranged from .91 to .99. The total redundancy for the modified test battery was .87.
