    Barrow Item Test:

    Zig Zag Run


    Standing Broadjump
    Medicine Ball Put
    This test consisted of the standing broadjump, medicine ball put,
    and the zigzag run. These items, in order, tested power, strength,
    and agility. The three-battery test was selected because of its
    speed in administration and the indoor facilities available.

    The students who attained a score of 144 or higher in the test were
    given their choice of activities if there were more than one class
    offered at that time. Those who did not attain the score of 144 or
    higher were placed in a special class. The special classes were
    weight
    training, wrestling and gymnastics; students were placed in a
    beginning
    swimming class if they did not pass the swimming test.

    Zig Zag Run:


    The course used was set up in rectangular form 16 by 10 feet.
    Bowling pins were used as center and corner obstacles. A trial run
    was
    allowed each student. He started at point X and ran the prescribed
    figure eight course three times around. His time was recorded to the
    nearest tenth of a second with a stop watch.
    Broad Jump Test:

    The distance in the standing broadjump was measured in


    inches and
    feet. For the starting line a piece of masking tape was
    placed on the
    floor and perpendicular to the jumping area. Each student
    was permitted
    one practice jump and three trials. The distance of the
    best trial was
    recorded and the correct number of points was given. The
    jump was disqualified
    if the contest's toe touched in front of the startling
    line on
    his take-off.
    Medicine Ball Test:
    The medicine ball put course was 70 feet, marked off in half foot
    intervals. Two 1 ines , a starting and a finishing, were marked off
    perpendicular
    to the measurement for the throwing area. The two lines were
    15 feet apart with the finishing line on the foot line. The student
    was required to s tay within this area or his throw was
    disqualified.
    Each student was permitted one practice put and three trial puts.
    The distance of the best trial was recorded and the correct number
    of
    points was given. A six pound medicine ball was used.
