Abstract
Abstract Three fitness tests—push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups—were administered on four separate days to elementary and junior high school boys to determine the relative reliabilities of using a single trial, better of two trials, and average of two trials. A trend analysis of the data revealed significant improvement during the four trials, and scores increased significantly from trial to trial on push-ups. Neither the better of two trials or the average of two trials was found to be any more reliable than a single trial.
