“…Sit and reach test procedures: 1) Sit on the floor, with legs straight and feet on the instrument, 2) Place hands on the measuring device with one hand on top of the other and elbows straight, 3) Push the measuring device forward using your fingers slowly and allowed to bend the back, 4) Hold the maximum reach position for 2 seconds [9]. The procedure of overhand throw softball accuracy: (1) Sample throw the ball using the overhand throw technique with a target in the form of a circle with a distance of 65 feet for men and 40 feet for women, (2) 10 experiments were carried out, (3) Throws that hit the target in the middle circle get a score of 3, the second circle scores 2 and the outer circle scores 1, (4) The score is the total number of points obtained in 10 throw attempts [10].…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between eye-hand coordination, flexibility and the accuracy of overhand throwing of female softball athletes. This study uses survey and test methods with correlation data analysis. The sample used in this study were 22 athletes who were female softball athletes in Semarang City. sampling technique using total sampling. The data analysis technique used in this study is bivariate correlation analysis. The results of this study explain that there is a relationship between hand eye coordination and the accuracy of the athlete's throwing results with a correlation of 0.72 with a significance value of 0.000. Furthermore, there is no relationship between flexibility and the accuracy of the athlete's throwing results with a sig value. 0.265>0.005. between eye and hand coordination and flexibility, what has a contribution is eye-hand coordination.

“…They were completed in the following order: 10-MWT, mTUG, Obstacles test, Curb test, and PBS to ensure consistency in the collected data, with a rest period of 3–5 min between the tests to minimize participant fatigue. The Obstacle and Curb tests were repeated after a 30-min interval (retest) to evaluate within-session test–retest reliability [ 12 , 20 , 39 ]. A separate data collection form was used for each test to minimize potential scoring bias from knowledge of prior results.…”

The Obstacles and Curb tests are timed walking assessments that have emerged from the Spinal Cord Injury Functional Ambulation Profile and have been modified for children; however, their psychometric properties have not been adequately investigated. The aim of this research was to examine the psychometric properties of the Obstacles and Curb tests for children with cerebral palsy (CP). This cross-sectional study included 68 children aged 6-12 years; there were 34 children with CP and 34 age-and sex-matched typically developing children. Validity was examined by correlation with the 10-m Walk Test (10-MWT), Modified Time Up and Go test (mTUG), and Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS). Differences in the Obstacle and Curb test scores were calculated between children with CP and typically developing children and within different Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels. Children with CP completed the tests twice within a 30-min interval in the same session. The tests showed significant strong to very strong correlations with the 10-MWT, mTUG, and PBS. The within-session reliability was excellent, typically developing children were significantly faster than children with CP with high sensitivity and specificity, and the time differed significantly within the GMFCS level. Thus, the Obstacles and Curb tests can be considered valid, reliable, and sensitive walking tests for ambulatory children with CP.

“…Primary outcomes included the 30 s Sit-to-Stand (STS) [ 20 ], and the 3-metre Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests [ 21 ]. Secondary outcomes included grip strength (left and right) [ 22 ], the Chair Sit and Reach test (left and right), as an indicator of lower body flexibility [ 22 ], and waist circumference, as an indicator of abdominal adiposity [ 23 ].…”

Background The Exercise Right for Active Ageing (ERAA) program was established to improve access to exercise classes for community-dwelling older Australians. The aims of this study were to determine whether older adults, who participated in ERAA exercise classes experienced a change in physical function, and identify factors associated with this change. Methods Participants included community-dwelling older adults, aged ≥ 65 years, from every state and territory of Australia. The ERAA program included 12 subsidised, weekly, low- to moderate-intensity exercise classes, delivered by accredited exercise scientists or physiologists (AESs/AEPs). Primary outcomes included the 30 s Sit-to-Stand (STS) and the 3-metre Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests. Secondary outcomes included grip strength, the Chair Sit and Reach test, and waist circumference. Linear mixed-effects regression models were used to evaluate the change in outcomes following program completion, and to determine factors associated with changes in the primary outcomes. Results 3,582 older adults (77% female) with a median (IQR) age of 72 (69–77) years completed follow-up testing. For all primary and secondary outcomes, there was a statistically significant improvement after program completion (p < 0.001). The STS increased by 2.2 repetitions (95% CI: 2.1, 2.3), the TUG decreased by 0.9 s (95% CI: -1.0, -0.8), right and left grip strength increased by 1.3 kg (95% CI: 1.2, 1.5) and 1.5 kg (95% CI: 1.3, 1.6), respectively, right and left reach increased by 1.7 cm (95% CI: 1.4, 2.0), and waist circumference decreased by 1.2 cm (95% CI: -1.4, -1.1). Greater improvements in STS were observed for participants aged 65–69 years, females, and those with greater socio-economic disadvantage. For the TUG, greater improvements were observed in participants reporting 2 + comorbidities, and residing in outer regional areas and areas with greater socio-economic disadvantage. Conclusions Participation of older Australians in the ERAA program, led to statistically significant improvements in physical function. The program reached a large number of older Australians from every state and territory, including those from regional and remote parts of Australia, aged over 85 years, and with high levels of comorbidity, which supports the feasibility and acceptability of AES- and AEP-led exercise classes amongst community-dwelling older Australians.
