Evaluation for reliability of the standing broad jump (SBJ) fitness test among Army Cadet Officers

Standing Broad Jump (SBJ) is a field test to evaluate the leg power. AIMS: The aims of this study is to evaluate the reliability of Standing Broad Jumpa Fitness Test Among Army Cadet Officers. METHODS: Fifty (N=50) subject from Army Cadet Officers of National Defence University of Malaysia (NDUM) volunteered to take part in this study. The subject performed a standing broad jump fitness test in two different time. All data collected when performing a standing broad jump test is recorded. The standing broad jump fitness test's reliability value was calculated using the test-retest approach. In order to look at reproducibility of the standing broad jump fitness test. Pearson's product movement correlation was used. RESULT: The findings showed the correlation coefficient between the trials is significant (r = 0.81, n = 50, p <0.001). The results of the study found that the value of the Pearson correlation coefficient for both tests was r=0.81. The reliability testing showed a strong positive correlation of the fitness test for the standing broad jump. CONCLUSION: In the field, reliability of the standing broad jump can be tested according to the population of the Malaysian Military. It can be used as a trustworthy indicator to assess lower limb power, monitor power output rises following training, find new Army Cadet talent, and carry out pre-recruitment tests in various places.
