Context: Limited data are available regarding the prevalence and nature of invalid computerized baseline neurocognitive test data. Objective: To identify the prevalence of invalid baselines on the desktop and online versions of ImPACT and to document the utility of correcting for left-right (L-R) confusion on the desktop version of ImPACT. Design: Cross-sectional study of independent samples of high school (HS) and collegiate athletes who completed the desktop or online versions of ImPACT. Participants or Other Participants: A total of 3769 HS (desktop  =  1617, online  =  2152) and 2130 collegiate (desktop  =  742, online  =  1388) athletes completed preseason baseline assessments. Main Outcome Measure(s): Prevalence of 5 ImPACT validity indicators, with correction for L-R confusion (reversing left and right mouse-click responses) on the desktop version, by test version and group. Chi-square analyses were conducted for sex and attentional or learning disorders. Results: At least 1 invalid indicator was present on 11.9% (desktop) versus 6.3% (online) of the HS baselines and 10.2% (desktop) versus 4.1% (online) of collegiate baselines; correcting for L-R confusion (desktop) decreased this overall prevalence to 8.4% (HS) and 7.5% (collegiate). Online Impulse Control scores alone yielded 0.4% (HS) and 0.9% (collegiate) invalid baselines, compared with 9.0% (HS) and 5.4% (collegiate) on the desktop version; correcting for L-R confusion (desktop) decreased the prevalence of invalid Impulse Control scores to 5.4% (HS) and 2.6% (collegiate). Male athletes and HS athletes with attention deficit or learning disorders who took the online version were more likely to have at least 1 invalid indicator. Utility of additional invalidity indicators is reported. Conclusions: The online ImPACT version appeared to yield fewer invalid baseline results than did the desktop version. Identification of L-R confusion reduces the prevalence of invalid baselines (desktop only) and the potency of Impulse Control as a validity indicator. We advise test administrators to be vigilant in identifying invalid baseline results as part of routine concussion management and prevention programs.

The status of fitness cardiorespiratory is the ability of a person in supplying the heart and lungs, spreading and using oxygen is influenced by several factors such as gender, intake of nutrients, and nutritional status. This research aimed to determine the factors related to the status of cardiorespiratory fitness of students at Muhammadiyah 3 Senior High School, Jakarta. Variables were sex, nutritional status (IMT/U), energy and macronutrient intake (carbohydrates, protein, fat), and micronutrients (zinc, iron, calcium, vitamin C) intake. This is a cross-sectional study, with 85 subjects. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Correlation test and Chi-Square test. Retrieval of cardiorespiratory fitness status data was measured by means of 20-meter shuttle run in a bleep test. The study showed that the majority of subjects were male. Most of subjects had less energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, calcium, vitamin C, zinc, and iron. The statistical test showed that there were relationship between sex and nutritional status of IMT/U with the status of cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2max). There was no correlation between energy, carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamin C, zinc, calcium, and iron intake with the status of cardiorespiratory fitness.
