Sağlıkla İlgili Fiziksel Uygunluk Karnesinin EUROFIT, ASSO Project ve Connecticut Test Bataryalarıyla Karşılaştırmalı Analizi

This study aims to determine the conformity of the tests in the Health-Related Physical Fitness Scorecard (SIFUK) with international standards and to compare them with the European Test of Physical Fitness (EUROFIT), Adolescents and Surveillance System for the Obesity Prevention (ASSO Project) and Connecticut Physical Fitness Assessment (Connecticut), which are accepted as global test batteries. Forty students in grades 5-8 participated voluntarily in this study. All of the exercises in the test batteries were administered to the participants. The relationships between the exercises used to measure the same motoric trait in different test batteries were analyzed using correlation analysis. In addition, canonical correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the sets of variables included in the test batteries. It was found that the results of the sit-stand test used to measure flexibility in SIFUK were largely similar to the flexibility results in the other test batteries. However, the shuttle test results used to measure muscular endurance in SIFUK were found to have a correlation between 0.291-0.460 with the running-based exercises in the global test batteries. Similarly, the relationship between the push-up test results used to measure muscle strength in SIFUK and other strength tests in the global test batteries was found to be between 0.210-0.438. In addition, the results of the canonical correlation analysis conducted to determine the holistic relationship between SIFUK and global test batteries show that there is a high-level relationship between SIFUK and Connecticut (0.796), while there are low-level relationships between SIFUK and other test batteries (0.238 and 0.273). As a result, it is thought that the Connecticut test battery is a suitable reference to increase the comprehensiveness of the SIFUK test battery, and with the inclusion of an endurance run, the SIFUK can have a common set of variables that are more highly correlated with other test batteries.
