This study compared the proposed modified sit and reach test (MSR) and the commonly administered sit and reach test (SR) to determine if the MSR can administratively control possible limb-length biases. Subjects (N=258) were administered two trials of each test. The MSR test incorporates a finger-to-box distance (FBD) to account for proportional differences between legs and arms. Individuals with high FBD measurements demonstrated a poorer performance on the SR test. An analysis of the subjects failing to meet the Physical Best standard (25 cm) indicated a higher probability of failure for those with larger FBD scores. The subjects were subsequently separated into three groups: high, medium, and low FBD. There were no significant difference among the groups on MSR performance but a significant difference was found on SR performance. The MSR test appears to eliminate the concern of disproportionate limb-length bias expressed by many practitioners.
本研究比较了提议的改良坐位体前屈测试(MSR)和常用的坐位体前屈测试(SR),以确定MSR是否能在管理上控制可能存在的肢体长度偏差。对258名受试者进行了每项测试的两次试验。MSR测试纳入了手指到箱子的距离(FBD),以考虑腿和手臂之间的比例差异。FBD测量值高的个体在SR测试中的表现较差。对未达到“体能最佳”标准(25厘米)的受试者进行的分析表明,FBD分数较高者失败的可能性更大。随后,受试者被分为三组:高、中、低FBD组。三组在MSR测试表现上无显著差异,但在SR测试表现上存在显著差异。MSR测试似乎消除了许多从业者对肢体长度不成比例偏差的担忧。
