How to conduct the test
AnalysisAnalysis of the test result is by comparing it with the athlete's previous results for this test. It is expected that the analysis would indicate an improvement in the athlete's static balance with appropriate training between each test.
Target GroupThis test is suitable for active individuals but not for those where the test would be contraindicated. ReliabilityTest reliability refers to the degree to which a test is consistent and stable in measuring what it is intended to measure. Reliability will depend upon how strict the test is conducted and the individual's level of motivation to perform the test. The following link provides a variety of factors influencing the results and the test reliability. ValidityTest validity refers to the degree to which the test measures what it claims to measure and the extent to which inferences, conclusions, and decisions based on test scores are appropriate and meaningful. This test provides a means to monitor the effect of training on the athlete's physical development. Advantages
