A Construction of Motor Fitness Tests for Physical Education’s Students, Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University

Abstract

The objective of this research was investigating the motor fitness of Physical Education’s students, Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University in order to create the motor fitness test for Physical Education’s students, Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University and specify the criteria of motor fitness test for Physical Education’s students, Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University. The data was collected from 49 students who was 1^st to 4^th year student, both male and female which studied in 1st academic year, Physical Education major, Nakhon Sawan Rajabhat University which obtained by stratification ratio as 4:1. The research instruments consisted of 3 programs; Zig-Zag Run, Sit-Ups 60 seconds, and Push-Ups 30 seconds. The research result presented that;

1. The study result of objectivity about the motor fitness tests which researcher created. From the test score of researcher and 2 research assistants, the result found that;

                 1.1 The score of research and 1^st research assistant were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0.743).

                 1.2  The score of research and 2^nd research assistant were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0.921).

                 1.3  The score of 1^st and 2^nd research assistant were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0.946).

1. The study result of reliability test about the motor fitness tests which researcher created by using Test-Retest method. From the study of relationship between 1^st and 2^nd test score of each and every program testing, the result found that;

                 2.1  The test of Zig-Zag Run, 1^st and 2^nd test score were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0.656).

                 2.2  The test of Sit-Ups 60 seconds, 1st and 2nd test score were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0.885).

                 2.3  The test of Push-Ups 30 seconds, 1st and 2nd test score were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0.914).

1. The study result of validity about the motor fitness tests which researcher created by studying from the relationship between 1^st overall test score of motor fitness test which researcher created. The result found that test scores were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r = 0. 743).


2. The study result of complexity about the motor fitness tests which researcher created by studying from the inter-correlation of motor fitness test score of each motor fitness program which researcher created. From the 1^st tests, result found that test scores were related as positive linear with statistical significance at the level of .05 (r value was between 0.227-0.769) and statistical insignificance at the level of .05 (r value was between 0.053-0.178).
