Test setupThe test procedure requires a 20 to 30 cm high chair with a centimeter scale.The test is performed while lying on a gymnastics mat.The test is performed on a gymnastics mat.A measuring tape/marking is fixed on the floor perpendicular to show the jump line. The jump line is to be marked. The zero point of the measuring tape is at the front edge of the jump line.Subject is standing in a tire.
Test descriptionThe subject stands on a chair and bends forward with his knees bent. With the arms stretched down, an attempt is made to reach the lowest possible measuring point and to hold for 2 seconds. The finger-floor distance is measured in centimeter. The zero point of the scale is the floor level. Positive values are readings lower than the sole level; negative values mean that the sole level has not been reached. In total, two measurements were performed.The subject is lying in prone position. The knees are bent. The hands are crossed on the back. The subject attempts to lift the knees off the ground for 5 seconds. The head remains on the floor during the exercise.In the specified position (forearm support), the left and right feet are raised off the ground by half a foot each second. The time is measured until the abortion. The measurement is aborted when the subject returns to the prone position, turns off the knees, or rests his head on the arms.The subject must jump off the stand with both legs at the same time; both feet are in front of the jump line and must touch the ground until they jump off. Failed attempts are invalid. Before the jump, the candidates should easily go to their knees, achieve a good preload, take light pattern, and jump off sharply. Rockers are allowed, do not hurry.After 10 seconds, the eyes must be closed. After another 10 seconds, the head must be placed backwards with the eyes closed. The time to loss of balance is measured for the left and right legs.
RatingThe best value of the two runs is scored.The exercise is solved when the tension is held for 5 seconds and no back pain occurs.The time is measured to a second exactly.Measurements are made to the nearest centimeter, from the leading edge of the drop line to the rearmost point of contact of the body on the ground (usually the heel).One-legged left leg time sums up one-legged right leg time. After 60 seconds, the measurement is aborted and the maximum time of 60 seconds is entered.
