LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.The test most often recommended for measuring upper body strength and endurance is the pull-ups which has often been criticized because of the large number of zero scores. In the last academic school year, twelve secondary schools under the Po Leung Kuk group administered the Bailey Bridge Test for measuring upper body strength and endurance in their own physical fitness test battery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Bailey Bridge Test for secondary school students. A total of 1,906 secondary school students, aged 13-19, from 4 schools, participated in the study. Criterion validity was assessed by correlating Bailey Bridge Test with bent-knee push-up and hand grip strength. A sample of subjects were tested on two different days on Bailey Bridge Test to establish stability reliability. To conclude, the Bailey Bridge test shows unacceptable validity with barely acceptable reliability.一般用來測試上肢肌力的引體向上方法，受試者很常會取得零分而影響教師對學生的評估。去年本港保良局屬下十二間中學，製定出一套體適能測試方案，並採用了拾放豆袋測試來量度學生的上肢肌力。本文目的是評審拾放豆袋測試的效度和信度。共有1,906位13至14歲的中學生參與本研究，以屈膝掌上壓及手握力測試的相關系數作爲效標關聯效度的指標；再測法則用來計算信度。研究結果顯示拾放豆袋測試的效度未能被接受，信度也偏低。

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in English; abstract also in Chinese.This paper presents a normative study of physical fitness test battery for a local secondary school in New Territories. Test items include hand grip; 30-sec flexed knee sit-ups; sit and reach; endurance run of 800m (girls) and 1000m (boys); and Bailey Bridge test. In order to test for the validity of the Bailey Bridge test, 30-sec straight leg push-ups for boys and knee pushups for girls were also conducted. Norms presented in this paper are categorized by age and gender so that other physical education teachers in secondary schools can use these results for comparison.這篇文章介紹新界區一所中學推行之體適能測試獎勵計劃，測試項目包括手握力、三十秒仰臥起坐、坐前伸、女子800公尺、男子1000公尺跑及拾放豆袋。另外，男子三十秒直腳掌上壓及女子曲腳掌上壓爲附加項目，作用是檢定拾放豆袋測試之有效度，文章提供的常模標準是按性別和年齡組合，其他中學體育老師可利用這些標準作爲比較依據。

Background: The assessment of physical fitness using a specific tool has become an important part to find out the fitness level of children and adolescence. Fitness gram is a health-related fitness test that utilizes criterion-referenced standards on health-related components. Through the years research has shown that Fitness gram has become one of the most widely used programs in the United States, though it’s used in India is not popular.Methods: Seventy school students in the age group of 5 to 14 years were included in this study and randomly allocated for physical fitness test where 62 students have completed the test. Two physiotherapists as a rater were allotted and children were tested by them with Fitnessgram test battery in a gap of 1 week. Outcome measures includes Fitness gram test battery. Statistical analysis was done by Cronbach’s Alpha value has been computed for the Interrater reliability.Results: Sixty-two students with both gender (male 56.3% and female 43.7%, age -10.12±2.72) were assessed for physical fitness using Fitness gram test battery. All the test variables showed an excellent reliability (Cronbach’s alpha =0.91-0.95).Conclusions: The Fitness gram test battery has been found to be reliable tool and can be implemented for physical fitness test for the children.
