Safety:
The coaches have to ensure that the participants conduct a quick, general warm-up before
starting with the first test. This might have to be conducted by the coaches themselves or the
local PE teacher. To avoid any form of dehydration, the coaches have to ensure that the
participants are drinking enough water during the time of the test.
For all tests, the health and safety of all participants as well as coaches is of utmost
importance. The coaches have to do a site-check before conducting the tests. Sprinting and
jumping areas should be even, without any dents.
Every area should be marked with cones, no one except the performing athlete and the
coaches involved are supposed to enter the sprint area as well as the landing area of the jumps
and throws.
Sharp edges have to be covered. Equipment, which is not fulfilling the demands, has to be
replaced, especially the obstacles and throwing implements.

Description of Talent Identification Tests
Test No. 1/2: One-foot balance test (eyes open and eyes closed) / standing stork
Purpose: To estimate motor-skill-level (balance)
Equipment: Stop watch
Procedure: In the first round, the athletes are asked to take their shoes off and move
into a standing position, with their hands on the hips, one foot resting
against the opposite upper calf (heel touching the knee) and an upright
upper body position including a fully extended hip joint. They are
performing one attempt with the left and one with the right foot.
For the second round, the athletes are asked to move into the same
position, but with their eyes closed. For both variations, the coach
measures the time, using the stopwatch, until the athlete is not able to
maintain in the stable position any longer (once the elevated foot leaves
the opposite leg or the stance leg foot leaves the ground). The exercise
should be stopped after one [1] minute.
No. of attempts: One [1] per leg.
Fig 1 . One-foot balance test
4|Page
Scoring: score is length in seconds between the time the heel is raised and
balance is lost. The best of Two trials to be recorded.*
Note: Several athletes can execute the exercise parallels, as long as the coach
is able to ensure that they are beginning exactly at the same moment
and that he/she is able to measure and note down the correct time for
each individual athlete.
Test No. 3: 20m start (U14) / 30m Start (U16)
Purpose: To estimate speed (acceleration).
Equipment: Photo cells / light gate including output device, measuring tape, tape /
cone (for marking), and a 45m running course or strip.
Procedure: The coach marks a 20m (for U14 athletes) / 30m (for U16 athletes)
straight line with cones and / or tape (preferably tape for a start and
finish line). The athletes begin to run exactly 1.00m before the start line
(an additional marker / line will be necessary) from a standing part
position, with the toes of the front foot being very close to, but not
touching the line.
The athletes are asked to accelerate with maximum effort until 5M

behind the finish line (an additional cone might be helpful).
The first photocell will be located at the start line, the second photocell
at the finish line. The coaches note down the electronic time for both
attempts.
No. of attempts: Two attempts are given. A rest of at least four [4] minutes should be
given in between the two attempts.
Scoring: Record time in seconds to the nearest tenth of a second.*
Note: Spiked shoes are not allowed during the test.
5|Page
Test No.4: Standing long jump
Purpose: To estimate power (lower body)
Equipment: Measuring tape, rope / rope for marking
Procedure: The coach marks one line with tape or a rope on even ground (soft but
even surface for the landing area, if possible). A measurement tape with
the zero-point at the beginning of this line will be installed at the side of
the jumping area.
The athletes are asked to move to this line (toes of both feet should be
very close but not touching the line), feet shoulder width apart. They
progress into a squat position and directly perform a standing long jump
with a stable landing on their feet. Arm swing / movement is allowed for
the jump.
No. of attempts: Every athlete is allowed to execute two [2] jumps. If an additional jump
is necessary due to instable landing, a third attempt will be granted.
Scoring:
The distance covered from starting point to the nearest breaking point (5cm steps on the
measurement tape) will be considered for the record.*
Note: The coaches always downscale the distance to the nearest 5cm mark to
save time. A stick might be helpful to estimate the correct length of the
jump. The stick then has to be fixed at the landing point (rear heel) with
a 90° angle to the measurement point.
Fig 2. Standing Long Jump

Test No. 5: Standing Vertical Jump
Purpose: Estimate power (lower body)
Equipment: Measuring tape, chair, chalk powder, duster
Procedure: A vertical wall is prominently marked in five [5] centimeter steps

upto3.50 meters.
The athletes dip their fingers in chalk powder and stand side-wise
against the wall, keeping the arm raised completely above the head
and clap the extended hand marked with chalk on finger straight. The
feet have to remain flat on the ground, without raising the heels.
They progress into a squat position and directly perform a vertical

jump (counter-movement). The athletes jump as high up as possible
to touch the wall.
Fig 3. Standing Vertical Jump
No. of attempts: Every athlete is allowed to execute two[2]jumps. If an additional jump

Scoring: Record to the nearest 5 centimeters mark

The reading shall be noted by keeping eyes in level with the chalk
mark on the progressed marking. Two attempts are permitted. If an
additional jump is necessary, a third attempt will be granted. *
Note: The coaches always down scale the distance to the nearest 5cm mark.

Test No. 6: 40m obstacle run (U14) / 50m obstacle run(U16)
Purpose: To estimate speed and motor-skill-level(rhythm)
Equipment: Photo cells / light gate, measuring tape, tape / cones (for marking),
obstacles (40cm height –tbd)
Procedure: The coach marks a 40m (for U14 athletes) / 50m (for U16 athletes)
straight line with cones and / or tape (preferably tape for a start and
finish line). The athletes begin to run exactly 1.00m before the start
line (an additional marker / line will be necessary) from a standing
part position, with the toes of the front foot being very close to, but not
touching the line.
The obstacle shall have a height of 40cm (e.g. a banana box or small
plastic hurdle). No sharp edges are allowed. The first obstacle will be
positioned 10m behind the start line. 4 additional obstacles will be
positioned with a distance of 6.50m in between (16.50 / 23.00 / 29.50/
36.00m) for the U14 category and 5 additional obstacles with 7.00m in
between for the U16 (17.00 / 24.00 / 31.00 / 38.00 / 45.00m).
The athletes are asked to accelerate with maximum effort until 5m

behind the finish line (an additional cone might be helpful).
The first photo cell will be located at the start line, the second photo
cell at the finish line. The coaches note down the electronic time for
both attempts.
No. of attempts: Two attempts are given. A rest of at least four [4] minutes should be
given in between the two attempts.
Scoring: The score is the total time taken to complete the course in minutes and
seconds.*
Note: Spiked shoes are not allowed during the test. It makes sense to mark
the position of the obstacles with chalk and / or tape in case an athlete
hits one of the obstacles.

Test No. 7: 5-step bounding
Purpose: Estimate reactive strength
Equipment: Measuring tape, tape, / cones (for marking)
Procedure: The coach marks one line with tape or a rope on even ground
(preferably track or even grass, if possible). A measurement tape with
the zero-point at the beginning of this line will be installed at the side
of the jumping area.
The athletes are asked to move to this line (toes of the front foot should
be very close but not touching the line), feet shoulder width apart.
From this standing start position the athlete tries to jump as far as
possible using alternate leg action (e.g. RLRLR or LRLRLR). The athlete
is supposed to land in as table position on both feet. Arm movement is
allowed during the jumps.
is necessary due to instable landing or other reasons, a third attempt
will be granted.
Scoring: The distance covered from starting point to the nearest breaking point
(5 cm steps on the measurement tape) will be considered for the
record.*
Note: The coaches always down scale the distance to the nearest 5 cm mark
to save time. As tick might be helpful to estimate the correct length of
the jump. The stick then has to be fixed at the landing point (rear heel)
with a 90° angle to the measurement point.
Test No.8: double-arm chest-pass
Purpose: To estimate power (upper body)
Equipment: 4x 1kg, 4x2kg, 4x3kg medicine ball, measuring tape, tape / cones (for

U14 girls are throwing with the 1kg ball, U14 boys with the 2kg ball. U16
girls are throwing the 2kg ball, U16 boys the 3kg ball.
The athletes are asked to take a ball and move to the line (toes of both
feet should be very close but not touching the line), feet shoulder width
apart. They move into a semi-squad position with the medicine ball in
both hands in front of their chest. Elbows are supposed to stay at
shoulder level.
The athletes then perform a chest-pass, trying to push the medicine ball
as far as possible. They are supposed to use their legs for the overall
body extension to increase power and thereby the velocity of the ball.
No. of attempts: Every athlete is allowed to execute two [2] throws. If an additional throw
is necessary due to whatever reason, a third attempt will be granted.
Scoring: The distance covered from zero-point to the landing point of the
implement (50cm steps on the measurement tape) will be considered
for the record.*
Note: The coaches always downscale the distance to the nearest 50cm mark to
save time.
Test No. 9: cricket ball overhead throw
Purpose: To estimate power (shoulder-flexion / elbow extension)
Equipment: 8-12 cricket balls, measuring tape, tape / cones (for marking)
track or even grass, if possible). A measurement tape with the zero-point
at the beginning of this line will be installed at the side of the throwing
area. The athletes are asked to take a ball and move to the line (toes of
the front foot should be very close but not touching the line). They
progress into the power position, similar to the standing throw position
in javelin throw.
10 | P a g e
The athletes perform a straight throw, with the ball staying above
shoulder height throughout the movement, trying to throw the cricket
ball as far as possible. They are supposed to use their legs and hips for
the overall body extension to increase power and the velocity of the ball.
No. of attempts: Every athlete is allowed to execute two [2] throws with one arm. If an
additional throw is necessary due to whatever reason, a third attempt
will be granted.
implement (1.00m steps on the measurement tape) will be considered
for the record.*
Note: The coaches always downscale the distance to the nearest 1.00m mark
to save time.
11 | P a g e
Test No. 10: 1.6km endurance run
Purpose: To Estimate anaerobic / aerobic capacity
Equipment: Stopwatch, tape / cones (for marking), measuring wheel (if no stadium
available)
Procedure: The athletes are asked to line up in a standing start position at the 400m
start at a regular stadium (400m round). If a stadium is not available, the
coach has to ensure that there is another possibility to measure the exact
distance of 1,600m (e.g. using a measuring wheel).
After the signal, the athlete has to run the 1.6km as fast as possible.
No. of attempts: Only one attempt is given to the athletes.
Scoring: The score is the total time taken to complete the course in minutes and
seconds.*
Note: It might be helpful to pass numbers to the athletes based on their

position at the finish. One coach can easily record the time, another one
is passing the numbers. Afterwards times and numbers can be matched
to avoid irritation and to save time. Athletes have to be instructed to
keep their number and not to change it with anyone else.
The 1.6km endurance run should not be conducted in very hot

environments.

Procedure: The ruler is held by the assistant between the outstretched index finger
and thumb of the athlete's dominant hand so that the top of the athlete's
thumb is level with the zero-centimeter line on the ruler. The assistant
instructs the athlete to catch the ruler as soon as possible after it has
been released. The assistant releases the ruler and the athlete catches
the ruler between their index finger and thumb as quickly as possible.
The assistant is to record the distance between the bottom of the ruler
and the top of the athlete's thumb where the ruler has been caught. The
test is repeated two more times and the average value used in the
assessment.

(iv) BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF BODY STRUCTURE
1. Shoulder
Purpose: To assess good physique as per Archery
Observation: Wider shoulder is required for Archery. The shoulders should not be
straight and it should be little down. Because of wider shoulder, back
muscle is bigger, there is power in back muscle which helps in smooth
draw.
33 | P a g e
2. Fingers
Purpose: To assess good physique as per Archery.
Observation: Finger should be normal and it should not be very long or short. Long
finger is weak and there is no power. Short finger is stiff and there is
problem in anchor because of this. Thumb of average size is good. Very
small thumb may create problem for Compound archers.
3. Chest
Observation: All should have flat chest; Bird chest is not good for archery. In bird
chest, chest is not relaxed and there is problem in alignment for
shooting.
34 | P a g e
4. Chin Position
Observation: Chin should not be small as small chin creates problem in Anchoring

Purpose: To estimate the agility
Equipment: Flat and non-slip floor, with line markings (can use masking tape), tape
measure and stopwatch.
Procedure: The subject stands at a centre line, then jumps 30cm to the side (e.g.
right) and touches a line with the closest foot, jumps back to the centre
then jumps 30 cm to the other side, then back to the centre. This is one
complete cycle. The subject tries to complete as many cycles as possible
in one minute.
Scoring: One complete cycle is recorded as 1, and half a cycle as 0.5. The score
is expressed as the number of repetitions in one minute. Some
normative values are presented below.

Test No. 2: Modified Bass test of Dynamic Balance
Purpose: To measure dynamic balance
Equipment: Adequate floor space, sticky tape for marking floor, measuring tape,
stopwatch.
Procedure: The course is marked out as illustrated in the diagram. The subject
begins by standing stationary on the right foot on the starting point
square. The subject then hops to the first tape mark with the left foot
41 | P a g e
and immediately holds a static position for five seconds. After this time,
he then hops to the second tape mark with the right foot and holds a
static position for another five seconds. This continues with alternate
foot hopping and holding a static position for five seconds at each point
until the course is completed. At each point, the sole of the foot must
completely cover each tape mark so that it cannot be seen. A period of
practice with the procedure and on the course should be allowed.
Fig 1. Modified Bass Test
Scoring: The result is recorded as either a success or fail. A successful

performance consists of hopping to each tape mark without touching the
floor with the heel or any other part of the body, and holding a static
position on each tape mark for five seconds without exposing the tape
mark.
42 | P a g e
Test No. 3: Nelson Hand Reaction Test
Purpose: To measure reaction time, hand-eye quickness, and attentiveness.
Equipment: 1 meter long ruler or Yardstick, calculator.
Procedure: The person to be tested stands or sits near the edge of a table, resting
their elbow on the table so that their wrist extends over the side. The
assessor holds the ruler vertically in the air between the subject's thumb
and index finger, but not touching. Align the zero mark with the subject’s
fingers. The subject should indicate when they are ready. Without
warning, release the ruler and let it drop - the subject must catch it as
quickly as possible as soon as they see it fall. Record in meters the
distance the ruler fell. Repeat several times (e.g. 10 times) and take the
average score.
Scoring: The average distance the meter stick fell is to be calculated and then
record the time taken by the ruler to fall the measured distance (distance
in cm, time in seconds). A table based on the formula - t = sqrt (2d / g),
where d = the distance the ruler fell in meters, g = the acceleration of
gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t = the time the ruler was falling (seconds) is
used to calculate this time.
Test No. 4:Nelson Foot Reaction Test
Purpose: To measure the foot reaction time of the subjects.
Equipment: Nelson Reaction Time Scale, Table or Bench and Wall Space
Procedure: The subject will be asked to sit on a table which will be about one inch
away from the wall with his shoe off. The subject positioned his foot so
that the ball of the foot will be held about one inch from the wall with
the heel resting on the table top about two inches from the table edge.
The tester held the reaction time stick near the wall so that it hangs
between the wall and subject’s foot with the base line of the times
opposite to the end of the beg toe. The subject will be asked to look at
the concentration zone and to react as soon as the time stick will bed
roped by pressing the times stick against the wall with the ball of the
subject foot. Each subject will be given twenty trials.
43 | P a g e
Scoring: The reaction time of each trial will be recorded from the line just above
the end of the big toe when the foot pressed the stick to the wall. Out of
20 trials the average of the middle ten trials ignoring the five fastest and
five slowest trials will be taken as the score of this test. The score is
recorded to the nearest centimeter
To get the reaction time following formula will be computer

independently.
Reaction time (Sec.) = 2 X Distance the stick timer falls (in Feet)

Test No. 5: 20M Shuttle Run Test

/(BLEEP TEST)
Purpose: To estimate an athlete's aerobic capacity (VO2 max).
Equipment: Flat, non-slip surface, marking cones, 20m measuring tape, beep test
audio, audio player, recording sheets.
Procedure: This test involves continuous running between two lines 20m apart in
time to recorded beeps. For this reason, the test is also often called the
'beep' or 'bleep' test. The participants stand behind one of the lines
facing the second line, and begin running when instructed by the
recording. The speed at the start is quite slow. The subject continues
running between the two lines, turning when signaled by the recorded
beeps. After about one minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed,
and the beeps will be closer together. This continues each minute (level).
If the line is reached before the beep sounds, the subject must wait until
the beep sounds before continuing. If the line is not reached before the
beep sounds, the subject is given a warning and must continue to run to
the line, then turn and try to catch up with the pace within two more
‘beep’. The subject is given a warning the first time they fail to reach the
line (within 2 meters), and eliminated after the second warning.
Scoring: The athlete's score is the level and number of shuttles (20m) reached
before they were unable to keep up with the recording. Record the last
level completed (not necessarily the level stopped at).

Purpose: To evaluate a player’s capacity to recover after repeated intense exercise

of a similar nature as in a Basketball game.
Equipment: The description of the tests and test signals are provided in a CD-rom.
To perform the test a CD-player, a tape measure, markers/cones, a stop
watch and a pencil are needed.
Markings: Two markers are placed on the ground exactly 20 m apart (two lines can
also be used) and a third marker is placed 5 m behind the start maker.
Fig.8: YoYo Intermittent Recovery test
Procedure: Yo-Yo IR test last for 5-15 minutes of running and consists of 2x 20
meters interval of running inter spread by a regular short rest periods
10 sec. The CD –rom that fallows the Yo –Yo test package provides the
information about how to perform the test and gives the signal to control
the speed. Briefly the player runs forward 20 meters at a speed, so that
the player reaches the 20-meter marker exactly at the time of the signal.
A turn is made at the 20-meter markers and the player runs back to the
starting marker which has to be reached at the time of the next signal.
62 | P a g e
Then the player has a 10- second break running slowly around the third marker
placed 5 meters behind. If the players run too quickly, he/she must wait at the
marker until the next signal. It is recommended that that the players upon
turning switches between left and right foot to avoid one sided load on the body.
The course is repeated until failure to complete the shuttle run in time on two
occasions. The first time the start marker is not reached a warning is given
(yellow card) and the second time the test is terminated (red card). The last
running interval that a player has completed before being excluded from the
test is noted and the test result is expressed as the total running distance
covered in the test.
Scoring: Test result is expressed as total running distance covered and the same can
be converted to VO2 max values by using the prediction formula given
below:-
Formula to calculate Predicted Vo2 Max from Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery test.
YY1R1:Vo2 Max (ml/kg/min) =IR1 distance (m) x 0.008 + 36.4
YY1R2:Vo2 Max (ml/kg/min) =IR2 distance (m) x 0.0136 + 45.3

Equipment/Facilities: An obstacle course marked by six cones will be set up in restricted
area (Key area, Three second area) of a regular basketball court as shown in Figure below.
Procedure: Three trials will be given, the first is a practice trial and the last two are scored
for the record. The performer starts with the ball on his / her non-dominant hand side at
cone A. On the signal “Go” the performer will dribble with non-dominant hand to the non-
dominant hand side to the middle cone B. The performer will then proceed to follow the
course using the proffered hand, changing hands as deemed appropriate until the finish line
is crossed by both feet.
Scoring: The score of each trial will be elapsed time required to legally complete the
course. Scores should be recorded to the nearest hundredth of a second for each trial. The
final test score will be the least time out of the two trials.
Violations/ penalties:
i. If the performer does ball handling infractions (travelling, double, dribble) the trials will be
stopped and the performer has to return to starting point and begin the trial again.
ii. The performer and the ball has to remain outside the cone (this includes dribbling the ball
either inside or over the cone). If there was failure of this, the trial will be stopped and the
performer has to return to start and begin again.
iii. If the performer fails to begin at the point in the course where control was last the trial will be
stopped and the performer has to return to start and begin again.

a standing start position at the 400M start at a regular stadium (400M
round). If a stadium is not available, the coach has to ensure that there
is another possibility to measure the exact distance of 1,600M (e.g. using
a measuring wheel). After the signal, the athlete has to run the 1.6km as
fast as possible. Only one attempt is given to the athletes. In case of the
800M run for girls, the test is to complete the 800-meter course in the
quickest possible time. To start, all participants line up behind the
starting line. On the command ‘go,’ the clock will start, and they will
begin running at their own pace. Cheering or calling out the elapsed time
is also permitted to encourage the participants to achieve their best
time.
Scoring: The coach records the results using his / her stopwatch. The total time
taken to complete the distance is recorded. For 1600M, minimum 06:00

Test No. 2: 12 X 20 M repetitive sprint test with 20 secs recovery
Purpose: To determine the anaerobic capacity, the ability to recover between sprints
and produce the same level of power repeatedly.
99 | P a g e
Equipment: Timing gates, measuring tape, stopwatch, marker cones, at least 50-
meter track.
Procedure: Two lines are drawn (or tape used) on the track 20 meters apart, and
timing gates placed at these points. Two cones are placed 10m beyond
each end of the 20M, which will be the turning area. The participant
places their preferred foot at the starting line and then sprints
maximally for 20M, ensuring that they do not slow down before reaching
the end. A stopwatch is started on the first movement of the runner, and
is left on to measure total cumulative time. Record the time for each
sprint from the timing gate system. After each sprint the runner turns
(at the cones) and makes their way to the opposite end ready for the next
sprint, to be done in the opposite direction to the previous sprint. The
next 20 M sprint starts 20 seconds after the first one started. This cycle
continues until 12 sprints are completed. The sprints start a 0, 20 sec, 40
sec, 1 min, 1min 20 sec, and 1min 40 sec after the start of the first sprint.

Test No. 4:30 M Flying Test
Purpose: To determine speed endurance and anaerobic recovery.
Equipment: Measuring tape or marked track, stopwatch or timing gates, cone

markers, flat and clear surface of at least 80 meters.
101 | P a g e
Procedure: Set up cones at 0, 30m and 60m along a straight line, and timing gates
if available at 30m and 60m. The test involves a 30m acceleration area
to enable the runner to get up to their maximum speed, then maximal
sprinting over 30 meters. The tester should provide hints for
maximizing speed (such as keeping low, driving hard with the arms
and legs) and encourage them to continue running with maximum
effort past the finish line.
Scoring: Two trials are allowed, and the best time is recorded to the nearest two
decimal places. The timing starts from when the athlete's torso passes
through the first timing gate, or by stopwatch when they pass the 30m
cone, and finishes at the 60m cone marker. The flying 30m time can be
used to predict 100m sprint times.

Test No. 6: cricket ball overhead throw
Purpose: To estimate power (shoulder-flexion / elbow extension)
Equipment: 8-12 cricket balls, measuring tape, tape / cones (for marking)
track or even grass, if possible). A measurement tape with the zero-point
at the beginning of this line will be installed at the side of the throwing
area.
The athletes are asked to take a ball and move to the line (toes of the
front foot should be very close but not touching the line). They progress
into the power position, similar to the standing throw position in javelin
throw.
The athletes perform a straight throw, with the ball staying above
shoulder height throughout the movement, trying to throw the cricket
ball as far as possible. They are supposed to use their legs and hips for
the overall body extension to increase power and the velocity of the ball.
Every athlete is allowed to execute two [2] throws with one arm.

Test No. 7: T - Test
Purpose: To determine the agility for athletes, and includes forward, lateral, and
backwards running.
Equipment: Tape measure, marking cones, stopwatch, timing gates (optional).
Procedure: Four cones as illustrated in the diagram below are set up (5 yards = 4.57
m, 10 yards = 9.14 m). The subject starts at cone A. On the command of
the timer, the subject sprints to cone B and touches the base of the cone
with their right hand. They then turn left and shuffle sideways to cone C,
and also touches its base, this time with their left hand. Then shuffling
sideways to the right to cone D and touching the base with the right
hand. They then shuffle back to cone B touching with the left hand, and
run backwards to cone A. The stopwatch is stopped as they pass cone A.
Fig 6. T-Test for agility
104 | P a g e
Scoring: The trial will not be counted if the subject crosses one foot in front of the
other while shuffling, fails to touch the base of the cones, or fails to face
forward throughout the test. The best time of three successful trials to
the nearest 0.1 seconds is recorded.
Test No. 8: Yo-Yo Intermittent Level 1 for Children Test
Purpose: To evaluate the ability to repeatedly perform high-intensity aerobic

work.
Equipment: The description of the tests and test signals are provided in a CD-ROM.
To perform the test a CD-player, a tape measure, markers/cones, a stop
watch and a pencil are needed.
Markings: Two markers are placed on the ground exactly 16 m apart (two lines can
also be used) and a third marker is placed 4 m behind the start maker.
Fig7. YoYo Intermittent Level 1 for Children
Procedure: Yo-Yo IR test last for 5-15 minutes of running and consists of 2 × 16
meters shuttle runs interval of running and 2 × 4 meters for active
recovery inter spread by a regular short rest periods 10 sec. The CD –
rom that fallows the Yo –Yo test package provides the information about
how to perform the test and gives the signal to control the speed. Briefly
the player runs forward 16 meters at a speed, so that
105 | P a g e
the player reaches the 16-meter marker exactly at the time of the signal.
A turn is made at the 16-meter markers and the player runs back to the
starting marker which has to be reached at the time of the next signal.
Then the player has a 10- second break running slowly around the third
marker placed 4 meters behind. If the players run too quickly, he/she
must wait at the marker until the next signal. It is recommended that
that the players upon turning switches between left and right foot to
avoid one sided load on the body. The course is repeated until failure to
complete the shuttle run in time on two occasions. The first time the
start marker is not reached a warning is given (yellow card) and the
second time the test is terminated (red card).The last running interval
that a player has completed before being excluded from the test is noted
and the test result is expressed as the total running distance covered in
the test.
Scoring: The results for the yo-yo test can be given as the time to exhaustion, the
total distance covered, the level number achieved, or speed level and
shuttles, though the most common way the score is reported is the speed
level plus the number of shuttles.

Fig 2. 40 Meter Time
124 | P a g e
Procedure: The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 40 meters,
with the time recorded. A thorough warm up should be given, including
some practice starts and accelerations. Start from a stationary position,
with one foot in front of the other. The front foot must be on the starting
line. This runner should be stationary prior to starting. The person
timing should stand at the finish line with one arm held high, and call
‘ready’ followed by a sweep down their arm quickly to start the subject
(do not call out ‘go’ due to the time delay in the subject hearing the call).
As the arm sweeps down, the tester should start the stopwatch which
is held in the downward sweeping arm, and finish the stopwatch as
their chest passes through the finish line.
Scoring: Three trials are allowed, and the best time is recorded to the nearest two
decimal places (sec).

Test No. 7: 20M Shuttle Run Test
/ (Beep test)
Purpose: To estimate an athlete's aerobic capacity (VO2 max).
Equipment: Flat, non-slip surface, marking cones, 20m measuring tape, beep test
audio, audio player, recording sheets.
Procedure: This test involves continuous running between two lines 20m apart in
time to recorded beeps. For this reason, the test is also often called the
'beep' or 'bleep' test. The participants stand behind one of the lines
facing the second line, and begin running when instructed by the
recording. The speed at the start is quite slow. The subject continues
running between the two lines, turning when signaled by the recorded
beeps. After about one minute, a sound indicates an increase in speed,
and the beeps will be closer together. This continues each minute (level).
If the line is reached before the beep sounds, the subject must wait until
the beep sounds before continuing. If the line is not reached before the
beep sounds, the subject is given a warning and must continue to run to
the line, then turn and try to catch up with the pace within two more
‘beep’. The subject is given a warning the first time they fail to reach the
line (within 2 meters), and eliminated after the second warning.
Scoring: The athlete's score is the level and number of shuttles (20m) reached
before they were unable to keep up with the recording. Record the last
level completed (not necessarily the level stopped at).

172 | P a g e
Procedure: The subject should step up to the bar and grasp it with the palms facing
towards them. Arms should be fully extended. Cross ankles and bend
knees. It is necessary pull the body up until the elbows are completely
bent and close to the body, reaching the chin to the bar. Lower body until
the arms and legs are fully extended in the starting position. This counts
one chin up for men players. A player should perform as many
repetitions as he can.
For women, one should step up to the bar and grasp it with the palms
facing them. Arms should be fully extended. Cross ankles and bend the
knees, pull the body up until the elbows are bent at 90°. In case of
women, the maximum time a girl hold in that position is recorded and
that becomes her score.
Test No. 6: Push Up
chair.
Fig 6. Push Up
173 | P a g e
Scoring: The number of correctly completed push-ups in 1 minute is recorded.
Test No. 7: 1 RM Bench Pull
Purpose: To measure upper body muscular endurance.
Equipment: A bench with adjustable height capacity (allow enough room

underneath to permit full extension of the arms), 20kg Olympic bar with
collars, a selection of 5kg and 10kg free weights. The weights should be
set at 25kg for females and 40kg for males (make sure you include the
20kg Olympic barbell plus the mass of any collars).
Procedure: The bench height is set so that the subject can comfortably grip the bar
while the weight is off the ground in the hang position. The bench should
be horizontal to the ground. The subject lies prone (face down) on the
bench with arms extended below the bench. The subject takes a
shoulder wide overhand grip on the bar and pulls it up until the bar
makes contact with the bottom of the bench, ensuring that the elbows
are kept out and the chest on the bench. Subjects must only move their
arms and shoulders in lifting the weight, the remainder of the body
(head, trunk and legs) must remain still throughout the movement (an
assistant may hold the legs down). Once the bar makes contact with the
bench, the subject extends their arms, lowering the weight in a
controlled manner back to the starting hang position without touching
the ground. The subject maintains a continuous movement sequence at
approximately one full repetition every two seconds. As many bench-
pull possible are performed.
Scoring: The total number of correctly completed bench pulls (see technical
violations) are recorded (whole numbers). One repetition equals a full
pull up and release down to the starting hang position.
174 | P a g e
Test No. 8: 1RM Squat
Purpose: To measure lower body maximum strength.
Equipment: Various free weights and a barbell.
Procedure: After an adequate warm up, the subject stands under the bar, with feet
shoulder-width apart. The knees should be in line with the toes. Take the
weight on your shoulders, then bend at the knees and hips to lower the
body. Ensure the head and neck are in a neutral position with eyes facing
forward (avoid rounding of the spine). Lower the body until the knees is
at a right angle, then push back up to a standing position. Move in a slow,
smooth, and continuous movement.
Fig 7. 1RM Squat
Scoring: The maximum weight lifted is recorded. To standardize the score, it

may be useful to calculate a score proportional to the person's
bodyweight.
175 | P a g e
Test No. 9: Wall Toss Test
Purpose: To measure hand-eye coordination
Equipment: Tennis ball or baseball, smooth, and solid wall, marking tape,
stopwatch (optional)
Fig 8. Wall Toss Test
Procedure: A mark is placed a certain distance from the wall (e.g. 2 meters, 3 feet).
The person stands behind the line and facing the wall. The ball is thrown
from one hand in an underarm action against the wall, and attempted to
be caught with the opposite hand. The ball is then thrown back against
the wall and caught with the initial hand. The test can continue for a
nominated number of attempts or for a set time period (e.g. 30 seconds).
By adding the constraint of a set time period, you also add the factor of
working under pressure.
Scoring: This table lists general ratings for the Wall Toss Test, based on the
score of the number of successful catches in a 30 second period

fingers.
Fig 9. Stick Reaction Time
The subject should indicate when they are ready. Without warning,
release the ruler and let it drop - the subject must catch it as quickly as
possible as soon as they see it fall. Record in meters the distance the
ruler fell. Repeat several times (e.g. 10 times) and take the average score.
177 | P a g e
Scoring: The scoring is done by measuring the average distance the meterstick
fell. Based on the following formula: t = sqrt (2d / g), where d = the
distance the ruler fell in meters, g = the acceleration of gravity (9.8
m/s^2), and t = the time the ruler was falling (seconds).
Test No. 11: Aerobic endurance capacity Measuring VO2 Max on a Rowing Ergometer
Purpose: To measure the aerobic power in athletes
Equipment: Oxygen and carbon dioxide analyzers, heart rate monitor (optional), and
a stopwatch. Appropriate ergometer (treadmill, cycle, swim bench etc.).
Expired air may be collected and volume measured via Douglas bags or
a Tissot tank, or measured by a pneumotach or turbine ventilometer.
Procedure: Exercise is performed on an ergometer, ideally appropriate to the sport

or usual exercise mode of the subject. The exercise workloads are
selected to gradually progress in increments from moderate to maximal
intensity (see cycling protocols). Oxygen uptake is calculated from
measures of ventilation and the oxygen and carbon dioxide in the
expired air, and the maximal level is determined at or near test
completion (see VO2max videos)
Scoring: Results are presented as either l/min (litters per minute) or ml/kg/min
(mls of oxygen per kilogram of body weight per minute). The athlete is
considered to have reached their VO2max

Procedure: The subject is assisted into position, the body lifted to a height so that
the chin is level with the horizontal bar. The bar is grasped using an
overhand grip (palms are facing away from body), with the hands
shoulder width apart. The timing starts when the subject is released.
They should attempt to hold this position for as long as possible. Timing
stops when the person's chin falls below the level of the bar or the head
is tilted backward to enable the chin to stay level with the bar.
Scoring: The total time held in the flex-arm position in seconds is recorded.

Equipment: A Specified marked box
Procedure: The player was asked to sit down keeping his leg straight and heel
together. The sole of the feet should touch the box as shown in diagram.
He was asked to bend the trunk forward, with fingers in the front of the
scale. The subject then slowly tried to reached forwards as much as
possible, the fingertips of both hands moved parallel to each other and
equally forward on scale and hold the position for 2 seconds. He was not
permitted to flex their knees.

Test No. 4: Flamingo Balance
Purpose: To assess the ability to balance successfully on a single leg.
Equipment: Stopwatch, metal beam 50cm long, 5cm high and 3cm wide (the beam is
stabilized by two supports at each end, and should have a non-slip
surface)
Fig 3. Flamingo Test
Procedure: Stand on the beam with shoes removed. Keep balance by holding the
instructor’s hand. While balancing on the preferred leg, the free leg is
flexed at the knee and the foot of this leg held close to the buttocks. Start
the watch as the instructor lets go. Stop the stopwatch each time the
person loses balance (either by falling off the beam or letting go of the
foot being held). Start over, again timing until they lose balance. Count
the number of falls in 60 seconds of balancing. If there are more than 15
falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated and a score of zero is
given.
Scoring: The total number of falls or loss of balance in 60 seconds is recorded.
185 | P a g e
Test No. 5: Single leg balance test closed eyes
Purpose: To assess static postural and balance control of the athlete.
Equipment: Medium density foam pad (approximately 50 cm x 40 cm x 6 cm);

stopwatch or timing device; an assistant to serve as a spotter.
Procedure: Identification of the athlete’s dominant leg is to be done by asking them

which leg they normally use to kick a ball. Then the opposite leg would
be referred as the non-dominant leg. Then, the athlete would be
instructed that they will have to stand still while balancing on the
nondominant leg with the hands on their hips and their eyes closed for
a period of 20 seconds.
Fig 4. Single Leg Balance Test (Closed Eyes)
During this time, evaluation will be done about how much one moves. If
the feet move out of position, then one can open their eyes, return to the
starting position, close the eyes, and continue the test. The athlete is
signalled verbally to begin and record a point (upto a total of 10)
whenever the following happens: -
• the hands leave the hips

• the eyes are opened
• stepping, stumbling, or falling occurs
• the client or athlete is out of position for longer than five seconds
186 | P a g e
• major bending at the hip joint occurs (>30 degrees in any
direction)
• the forefoot or heel is lifted
Scoring: Following completion of the test (after 20 seconds has passed) on the
stable surface, the athlete will return to the starting position and relax.
Next, he/she will complete the same test but will stand on the foam pad.

15 seconds recovery between each effort.
Test No.7: Plate Tapping
Purpose: To assess the speed and the coordination of limb movement.
Equipment: Table (adjustable height), yellow discs (20cm diameter), rectangle (30 x
20 cm), stopwatch.
Procedure: If possible, the table height should be adjusted so that the subject is
standing comfortably in front of the discs. The two yellow discs are
placed with their centres 60 cm apart on the table. The rectangle is
placed equidistant between both discs. The non-preferred hand is
placed on the rectangle. The subject moves the preferred hand back and
forth between the discs over the hand in the middle as quickly as
possible. This action is repeated for 25 full cycles (50 taps).

Test No. 9: Modified Pull-Up Test
Purpose: This test measures upper body pulling strength and endurance.
Equipment: Pull-up apparatus (or any adjustable horizontal bar).
Procedure: The participant positions themselves with their shoulders directly

below the horizontal bar, then reaches up to grip the bar slightly wider
than shoulder width using an overhand grip. The hips are lifted so that
189 | P a g e
the body is straight and the arms fully extended with the elbows locked.
Weight should be resting on the heels of the feet. They then pull their
body up towards the bar until the chin rises above the elastic band,
keeping the body straight. Repeat as many times as possible, ensuring
that the chin reaches the elastic for each repetition.
Fig 7. Modified Pull Up
Scoring: The maximum number of correctly performed pull ups is recorded.
Test No. 10: Hip and Waist Circumference
Purpose: To determine the ratio of waist circumference to the hip circumference,

as this has been shown to be related to the risk of coronary heart disease.
Equipment: Tape measure
Procedure: A simple calculation of the measurements of the waist girth divided by

the hip girth. Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) = Gw / Gh, where Gw = waist
girth, Gh = hip girth. It does not matter which units of measurement you
use, as long as it is the same for each measure.
Scoring: The table below gives general guidelines for acceptable levels for hip to
waist ratio. Acceptable values are excellent and good. Any units for the
measurements (e.g. cm or inches) is used as it is only the ratio that is
important.

Test No. 11: Wall Squat Test
Purpose: To measure the strength endurance of the lower body, particularly the
strength of your quads, hamstrings and glutes.
Equipment: Flat non-slip floor, smooth wall and a stopwatch.
Procedure: Stand comfortably with feet shoulder width apart and about 2 feet from
the wall, with your back against a smooth vertical wall. Slowly slide your
back down the wall to assume a position with both your knees and hips
at a 90° angle. Move the feet distance from the wall if required. Ensure
that the feet are flat on the ground, the back flat against the wall, and the
knees and hips are at right angles. The knees should be directly above
your ankles (rather than over your toes), and the thighs parallel to the
ground. The timing starts when the correct position is assumed, and is
stopped when the subject cannot maintain that position.

(I) DESCRIPTION OF PHYSICAL TESTS
Test No.1: Kraus Weber Strength Test
The Kraus Weber Strength Test comprises of six-item medical fitness test that measures the
strength and flexibility of key postural (core) muscles. The test consists of five strength
challenges and one general flexibility procedure.
(i) Kraus-Weber Abdominal Strength Test 1
Purpose: To assess the strength of the abdominal and psoas muscles.
Equipment: Flat surface
Procedure: The subject lies down in supine position i.e., flat on his back and hands
behind his neck. The legs are straight. The examiner holds the feet to
keep them on the ground. The subject is asked to perform one sit-up. If
he performs one sit-up, he passes this test. If he cannot raise his
shoulders from the table or ground, his score is zero.
Fig 1 (i). Kraus Weber Abdominal Strength Test 1
208 | P a g e
Scoring: This test is graded on a pass-fail basis. The Kraus-Weber test comprises
6 exercises - being unable to perform even one of the six exercises
results in failing the test.
(ii) Kraus-Weber Abdominal Strength Test 2
Purpose: To assess the strength of the abdominal muscles.
Equipment: A flat surface
Procedure: The lying position for this test is the same as the first K-W test - the
subject lies down in a supine position flat on his back and hands behind
his neck, except that this time the knees are bent. The examiner holds
the feet to keep them on the ground. The subject is required to perform
one sit-up. If he is able to perform a full sit-up, he passes this test. If he is
unable to raise his shoulders from the table or ground, the score is zero.
Fig 1 (ii). Kraus-Weber Abdominal Strength Test 2
Scoring: This test is graded on a pass-fail basis. The Kraus-Weber test comprises
6 exercises - being unable to perform even one of the six exercises
results in failing the test.
209 | P a g e
(iii) Kraus-Weber Abdominal Strength Test 3
Purpose: To assess the strength of the psoas and lower abdominal muscles.
Equipment: Flat surface, ruler, stopwatch
Procedure: Subject lies in supine position i.e., flat on his back with his hands behind
the neck. He is asked to raise his feet 25cm (10 inches) from the ground.
His legs should be straight, no bending at the knee. The examiner counts
to 10 seconds.
Fig 1(iii). Kraus-Weber Abdominal Strength Test 3
Scoring: This test is graded on a pass-fail basis. The test is passed if the subject
holds the position for ten seconds. The Kraus-Weber test comprises 6
exercises - being unable to perform even one of the six exercises results
in failing the test overall.
(iv) Upper Back Muscle Strength (Kraus-Weber Test 4)
Purpose: To assess the strength of the upper back muscles.
Equipment: Flat surface, pillow, stopwatch
Procedure: The subject lies in prone position i.e., face down on his stomach with a
pillow under his lower abdomen and his hands behind his neck. The
examiner holds his feet down (compared to the other Kraus Webber
210 | P a g e
back strength test in which the chest is held down). The subject is asked
to raise his chest, head and shoulders, while the examiner counts to 10
seconds. He passes this test if he is able to hold the exact position up to
10 seconds.

(v) Lower Back Muscle Strength (Kraus-Weber Test 5)
Purpose: To assess the strength of the lower back muscles.
Equipment: Flat surface, pillow, stopwatch, recording sheets.
Procedure: The subject lies in prone position i.e., face down on his stomach with a
pillow under his lower abdomen and his hands behind his neck. The
examiner holds his chest down (compared to the other Kraus Webber
back strength test in which the feet are held down). The subject is asked
to raise his feet, keeping his knees straight. The examiner counts to 10
seconds.
211 | P a g e
Fig 1(v). Lower Back Muscle Strength (Kraus-Weber Test 5)
(vi) Floor Touch Test (Kraus-Weber Test 6)
Purpose: To measure the flexibility of the lower back and hamstring muscles.
Lower back flexibility is important because tightness in this area is
implicated in lumbar lordosis, forward pelvic tilt and lower back pain.
Equipment: Stopwatch
Procedure: The subject stands erect, bare-footed, hands at sides and feet together.
The subject then is asked to lean down slowly to touch the floor with
their finger-tips for 10 seconds. Bouncing and jerking is not allowed. The
examiner holds the knees straight in order to prevent any bending.
holds the position correctly for ten seconds. The Kraus-Weber test
comprises 6 exercises - being unable to perform even one of the six
exercises results in failing the test overall.

Test No.2: Harvard Step Test
Purpose: To assess the aerobic fitness
Equipment: Step or platform 20 inches / 50.8 cm high, stopwatch, metronome or

cadence tape.
Procedure: The athlete steps up and down on the platform at a rate of 30 steps per
minute (every two seconds) for 5 minutes or until exhaustion.
Exhaustion is defined as when the athlete cannot maintain the stepping
rate for 15 seconds. The athlete immediately sits down on completion of
the test, and the total number of heart beats is counted between 1 to 1.5
minutes after finishing (see measuring heart rate). This is the only
measure required if using the short form of the test. If the long form of
the test is being conducted, there is an additional heart rate measures at
between 2 to 2.5 minutes, and between 3 to 3.5 minutes. See some
videos of Harvard Step tests being performed.
213 | P a g e
Fig 2. Harvard Step Test
Scoring: The Fitness Index score is determined by the following equations. For
example, if the total test time was 300 seconds (if completed the whole
5 minutes), and the number of heart beats between 1-1.5 minutes was
90, between 2-2.5 it was 80 and between 3-3.5 it was 70, then the long
form Fitness Index score would be: (100 x 300) / (240 x 2) = 62.5. Note:
you are using the total number of heart beats in the 30 second period,
not the rate (beats per minute) during that time.

fingers. The subject should indicate when they are ready. Without
warning, release the ruler and let it drop - the subject must catch it as
quickly as possible as soon as they see it fall. Record in meters the
215 | P a g e
distance the ruler fell. Repeat several times (e.g. 10 times) and take the
average score.
Fig 4. Nelson’s hand reaction time test
Scoring: The average distance the meterstick fell is to be calculated and then
record the time taken by the ruler to fall the measured distance(distance
in cm, time in seconds). A table based on the formula - t = sqrt (2d / g),
where d = the distance the ruler fell in meters, g = the acceleration of
gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and t = the time the ruler was falling (seconds)is
used to calculate this time.
OR
Nelson’s Leg Reaction Time Test-
Purpose: To measure the foot reaction time of the subjects.
Equipment: Reaction time scale, Table or Bench, Wall space etc.
Procedure: The subject is asked to sit on a table which was about one inch away
from the wall with his/her shoe off. The subject positioned his/her foot
so that the ball of the foot was held about one inch from the wall with

Procedure: Stand on the beam with shoes removed. Keep balance by holding the
instructor’s hand. While balancing on the preferred leg, the free leg is
flexed at the knee and the foot of this leg held close to the buttocks. Start
the watch as the instructor lets go. Stop the stopwatch each time the
person loses balance (either by falling off the beam or letting go of the
foot being held). Start over, again timing until they lose balance. Count
the number of falls in 60 seconds of balancing. If there are more than 15
falls in the first 30 seconds, the test is terminated and a score of zero is
given.
Scoring: The total number of falls or loss of balance in 60 seconds is recorded.

command "GO”, the athlete starts running in the track for 12 minutes.
Scoring: The distance covered by the athlete in 12 minutes by the athlete is

recorded as score.
Test No. 8: Deadlift
Purpose: To measure lower body maximum strength
Equipment: Various free weights and a deadlift "hex-bar" bar (the bar splits around
the subject so they can stand in the middle).
Procedure: After an adequate warm up, the subject stands inside the open space of
the bar, with feet shoulder-width apart. The knees should be in line with
the toes. Bend at the hips to lower the body and grasp the bar. Ensure
the head and neck are in a neutral position with eyes facing forward
(avoid rounding of the spine). To perform the deadlift, pull the bar
straight up by extending the knees and hips in a slow, smooth, and
continuous movement, until the legs are straight and the body upright.
During the lifting motion, the subject must not allow the knees to
collapse inward, and the shoulders must remain above the hips at all
times. The heels must also maintain contact with the ground throughout
the lift.
238 | P a g e
Fig 7. Deadlift
Scoring: The maximum weight lifted is recorded. To standardize the score, it may
be useful to calculate a score proportional to the person's bodyweight.
Test No. 9: Bench Press
Purpose: To measure maximum strength of the chest muscle groups.
Equipment: Bench with safety, bar and various free weights.
Procedure: The subject should perform an adequate warm up. An example would be
to warm up with 5-10 reps of a light-to-moderate weight, then after a
minute rest perform two heavier warm-up sets of 2-5 reps, with a two-
minute rest between sets. The subject should then rest two to four
minutes, then perform the one-rep-max attempt with proper technique.
If the lift is successful, rest for another two to four minutes and increase
the load 5-10%, and attempt another lift. If the subject
fails to perform the lift with correct technique, rest two to four minutes
and attempt a weight 2.5-5% lower. Keep increasing and decreasing the
weight until a maximum left is performed. Selection of the starting
weight is crucial so that the maximum lift is completed within
approximately five attempts after the warm-up sets.
239 | P a g e
Fig 8. Bench Press
The sequence of lifts should also be recorded as these can be used in
subsequent tests to help in determining the starting lifts.
Test No. 10: Squat
Purpose: To measure lower body maximum strength
Equipment: Various free weights and a barbell.
Procedure: After an adequate warm up, the subject stands under the bar, with feet
shoulder-width apart. The knees should be in line with the toes. Take the
weight on your shoulders, then bend at the knees and hips to lower the
body. Ensure the head and neck are in a neutral position with eyes facing
forward (avoid rounding of the spine). Lower the body until the knees is
at a right angle, then push back up to a standing position. Move in a slow,
smooth, and continuous movement.
Then, it starts with a 'check' 3-rep test with the weight of 40lbs or less,
to check for correct technique. Then one repetition is performed for each
weight in an ascending sequence. Less than 1-minute rest is allowed
between reps. If a weight is failed, another attempt may be made.

Test No. 2: 30 Mtr Sprint
Purpose: To determine acceleration and speed.

Fig 2. 30 meter Sprint
Procedure: The test involves running a single maximum sprint over 30 meters, with
the time recorded. A thorough warm up should be given, including some
practice starts and accelerations. Start from a stationary position, with
one foot in front of the other. The front foot must be on or behind the
starting line. This starting position should be held for 2 seconds prior to
starting, and no rocking movements are allowed. The tester should
provide hints for maximizing speed (such as keeping low, driving hard
with the arms and legs) and encourage them to continue running hard
through the finish line.
Scoring: Two trials are allowed, and the best time is recorded to the nearest 2
decimal places. The timing starts from the first movement (if using a
stopwatch) or when the timing system is triggered, and finishes when
the chest crosses the finish line and/or the finishing timing gate is
triggered.
