The following events had test-retest correlations of r=0.80 or higher: pull-ups, rope climb, bent knee sit-ups in two minutes, standing broad jump, jump and reach, three-mile run, and 300-yard shuttle run. The following events had test-retest correlations of less than r=0.80: push-ups, leg lifts in two minutes, bend and thrust in one minute.
