Abstract: The investigator has been selected (i) warm-up, (ii) motivation, and (iii) time of the day for physical
performance as influencing factors of the reliability of physical proficiency test of (i) 30 feet shuttle-run, (ii)
standing broad-jump, (iii) sit-ups for one minute. Eighty students of Bachelor Degree who are opted Physical
Education, Health education and Sports subjects from different colleges affiliated to Manipur University were
selected for this investigation. The Selection of the subjects was done purely on the basis of the specific purpose
of the study and had certain level of physical proficiency so that all the subjects could perform all the variable
test items of the study. After systematically analysed the data of the study it was found that the selected
influencing measurement factors has been affected the reliability of the selected physical proficiency test.
Keywords: Proficiency, reliability, warm-up, motivation, 30 feet shuttle-run, standing broad-jump, and sit-ups
for one minute.
I. Introduction:
For the past four/five decades, India has been made to develop a suitable infrastructures to improve upon
prevailing standard of performance in international sports. Sports has advanced from relatively and
unproductive beginning to the point at which the profession how has trained research worker striving to build a
more scientific basis for sports. The importance attached to research in sports and activity is indicated by the
increasing opportunity for advanced study in this field although such of present day research in sports is
oriented. Problem of both theoretical and practical importance have challenged researchers. So that not only
professional thinking was being advanced by many of the concept which have come from recent research are
being put into practices.
Mall and their associates who conducted a study of comparative analysis of physical fitness with some
physical and socio-psychological variables of school boys (13 to 15 years) possessing high academic
achievement, suggest that more vigorous and compulsory physical education programme (which includes games
and sports) should be provided for the students possessing high academic achievements, as games and sports
contribute to certain intellectual qualities like-decision making, alert mind, ability to take decision promptly and
quickly etc. These qualities can be utilized in daily life which ultimately increases efficiency. Zeigler Sport
(sometimes viewed as a pleasurable diversion) and athletics (a highly competitive activity that brings a reward)
are both part of the very life hood of our field and offer the possibility of great benefits and satisfaction to
participants and coach alike. Johnson and Nelson, among the earliest reported sports skills tests were the
Athletic Badge Tests devised in 1913 by the playground and Recreation Association of America. The test items
pertained to the sports of volleyball, tennis, baseball, and basketball. In 1918 Hetherington developed tests for
the California decathlon which made use of a graduated score plan. Robertson, Jennifer despite common
knowledge that physical activity is beneficial, it has been reported that two third of Canadian children do not
participate in regular physical activity (Crag, Russel, Cameron and Beauties, 1999). School-based interventions
for children are promising because almost all children attend school. Research evaluating school based physical
activity programme is at an early stage and there are many limitations in the literature. Three of the key
limitations identified in the literature are related to (I) the effect of teacher training on programme evaluation
outcomes, (2) lack of Canadian content and (3) The use of theoretical frameworks in programme development
and evaluation. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of participation in the activity. Physical
activity programme on physical activity behavior intend to be physically active and physical activity self
efficacy. In addition, the study addressed limitations in the literature by evaluating a Canadian programme
including teacher training as an independent variable and using social cognitive theory as a from work for the
evaluation. The subject, 252, 4th
and 5th
grade students, were assigned to one of three treatment groups-
comparison Active 8 only or Active 8 plus teacher training. Data collected from questionnaires before and after
the 4 week treatment period showed that participation in Active 8 programme contributed to significant
increases in physical activity self efficacy. In addition, the Active 8 plus teacher training group shared greater
increase in physical activity behavior and physical activity Self-efficacy than the Active 8 only group. Bhola

conducted a study of relationship of absolute leg length, foot and agility to jumping ability in volleyball using
three strides rhythm. He conducted the on 25 male volleyball players for the study. The study found that the foot
length, agility, dynamic power, as well as ankle flexibility had significant relationship with jumping ability
using three strides rhythm whereas absolute leg length and relative leg length did not correlate significantly.
Aver conducted a study on the relative effects of selected warm-up exercise on strength, agility, flexibility and
power. The investigator had taken 90 college men as subject. They were tested in five volleyball classes before
and after ten week of activity, involving 4 or 8 minutes of isometric activity per class period and found out the
relative effects of selected warm-up exercise. Strength, agility, flexibility and power had no significant
difference among treatment results except for dipping strength occurred. Tiva selected twenty-two women
physical education majors at the University of California, Los Angeles, who were tested for arm strength and
flexibility. The weaker arm was trained three times a week for four weeks with specific isometric exercises. The
strength of the trained arm increased and the range of motion in extension increased slightly but the correlations
between strength and flexibility were not significant.
The researcher felt that the greater performance in sports is mostly depend upon the fitness of the
participants. To increase and develop the fitness level of the individual, it is necessary to know the individual's
capability by some selected test items. But the measurement in selected test items might influence the reliability
of the test. Good performance in any activity depends upon some certain factors. To understand the factors
which influenced the performance of the individuals are more important for better performance in any activity.
The aim of the present investigation is to analyze the influence of certain measurement factors upon the
reliability of selected physical proficiency test.
II. Method:
The purpose of the study is to analyze the influence of certain measurement factors upon the reliability of
selected physical proficiency test. Sports contribute towards social, mental, emotional and intellectual
development. Physical performance is basically meant for increasing the efficiency of the body and human
being need to be fit throughout the lives. The research scholar specifically selected only three test items. The
three test items were: (a) 30 feet shuttle-run; (b) Standing broad-Jumps; and (c) Sit-up for one minute. Eighty
students of Bachelor Degree who are opted Physical Education, Health education and Sports subjects from
different colleges affiliated to Manipur University were selected for this investigation. The Selection of the
subjects was done purely on the basis of the specific purpose of the study and had certain level of physical
proficiency so that all the subjects could perform all the variable test items of the study. The necessary data were
collected by administrating the test items for the chosen variables. All the tests were administered in the D.M.
College Campus, Imphal West, Manipur. Before administering the test items, the subjects were briefed on the
objectives and requirements of the various variables that were to be tested. The apparatus and procedure of the
test were explained prior to the administration of the test items. The performance of all the test items of each
subject on the measuring factors were recorded as respective scores of the morning as morning first, morning
warm-up and morning motivation. The administration of the test items, measuring factors and their scores were
taken in the evening on the same procedures as applied in the morning. Only two trials of all the test items on all
the measuring factors were taken for this study.
The best of two trials of all the test items were recorded as the final score for statistical analysis of this
study. The final scores of all the selected test items on the selected influencing factors were taken for statistical
analysis and compared by using the following formula.
The correlations of all the test items were also calculated by using the following formula.
III. Result:
The value of „t-test‟ for the tests of morning warm up and morning motivation is alarmingly different.
In the morning first the value of „t-test‟ was 12.932 and that of the morning motivation was 16.128. The value of
„t-test‟ for morning motivation was higher than the value of „t-test‟ for morning warm up. The difference
between them is glaring and significant.

All the mean values of morning warm up, morning motivation, evening first, evening warm up and
evening motivation were almost the same. The differences between them are negligible as those were in small
fractions. Likewise the standard deviations had minor differences. However, the values of t-tests were somewhat
different. The „p-values‟ for all the above tests were equal. These different data have been shown in the Table

The comparative study of morning motivation, evening first, evening warm up and evening motivation
was again systematically carried out. In the morning motivation the „mean‟ score was 9.6966. Evening first
mean was a bit slower than the result of morning motivation. Evening warm up showed better results of „mean‟
than morning motivation was much better than all of the other results. The standard deviations showed slight
differences. The values of „t-tests‟ were all different and had shown wide gap results. However, the values of „t-
test‟ were very similar except evening motivation. The study results have been shown in the Table No.3.

The comparative study of evening first,. Evening warm up and evening motivation was again
conducted carefully. The „mean‟ of evening fist was 9.8596 and that of evening warm up was 9.6217. Evening
warm up showed better results than evening first. However, the results of evening motivation were much better
than the other two results. Standard deviations showed varied. The p-value for all the results was the same with
zeroes. The analytical studies of the data are laid down in the Table No.4.

All the selected students were tested again in the standing broad-jump the rules being the same with the other
different tests. In this study the „mean‟ obtained in the morning first was the lowest while comparing with
morning warm up, morning motivation, evening first, evening warm up, morning motivation. Except the results
of morning motivation and evening motivation all the other tests showed varied „means‟. There were minor
differences in the standard deviations but not glaring. However the values of „t-tests‟ for all the tests were
different but nevertheless the „p-values‟ were all zeroes. The findings are shown in the Table No.6.

The standing broad-jump test results are again studied according to morning warm up, morning
motivation, evening first, evening warm up and evening motivation group. The „mean‟ value for evening first
was the lowest and the „mean‟ value for the evening motivation was the highest closely followed by morning
motivation. All the standard deviations were almost the same but there were wide differences in the values of „t-
tests‟. The „p-values‟ for all the tests were similar. This study is shown in the Table No.7.

In order to get better ideas and concepts the test results of morning motivation, evening warm up and
evening motivation are again studied. The „mean‟ for the evening first was the lowest and the evening
motivation was the highest. Morning motivation and evening motivation had very similar results. Morning
motivation had the highest standard deviation but the rest had similar results. The value of „t-test‟ for the
evening first was the highest and the standard deviation for the evening motivation was the lowest. The p-value‟
for the evening motivation was highest among them. This study is shown in the Table No.8.

The findings of evening first, evening warm up and evening motivation is studied separately. The
„mean‟ value for the evening first was the lowest and the „mean‟ for evening motivation was the highest.
However, the standard deviations showed very similar results. The values of „t-tests‟ were also very different.
But the „p-value‟ was similar. This study is illustrated in the Table No.9.

The eighty students were again rendered on sit-up tests according to the norms as stated in the
foregoing paras. The value of „mean‟ for the selected tools in the morning first was 40.08. After evening
motivation the „mean‟ value rose up to 48.8. Morning first and evening first showed only a slight different result
whereas morning warm-up, morning motivation and evening warm up showed somewhat similar results. The
differences in the standard deviation were minor and hence negligible. However, all the results of the values for
all the above tests were .000. The findings are shown in the Table No. 11.

IV. Discussion:
After recording the various data the research scholar made the selected subjects to take warm up in the
form of exercise for about 15 to 20 minutes. After warming up the selected students were again put to the same
test. The „mean‟ obtained after warming up rose up to 61.0856. The result was even higher than the result of
morning motivation. After completion of the test the selected subjects were again feedbacks in the form of
motivation. The subjects were once again put to the same test as previously done. Surprisingly the results of the
tests were much better than all the tests conducted on that day. Here the „mean‟ rose up to 62.4513. The standard
deviations for all the tests, both the first session and the second session, were slightly different but can be
neglected. Likewise, the values of „t-test‟ for all the tests were also totally different. But the „p-values‟ for all the
said tests were zeroes.
The time taken for the chosen distance in the shuttle run was recorded with the help of stop-watch. The
„mean‟ for all the time taken by the subjects were calculated carefully and recorded. In the morning first the
„mean‟ was 10.0534. Then the subjects were given some exercises in the form of warm up. After about 15 to 20
minutes exercise the subjects were again tested in the same manner as done earlier. The subjects were allowed to

perform their tests twice as done earlier and the better test result was recorded. The students performed a bit
better than the morning first. The „mean‟ for all the students were 9.7951. After warming up, the subjects
improved somewhat. As soon as that the research scholar lectured and advised the subjects in the form of
motivation. The subjects were motivated by using intrinsic method and then made to run the same distance like
the other previous tests. There too, the subjects performed much better than both the earlier two tests. The
„mean‟ obtained after rendering motivation was 9.6966. The standard deviations for all the three types of the
tests were also slightly differed. However, the „p-value‟ for the entire test was the same.
At about 3 p.m. the second session started. In the same manner, as did in the first session, the research
scholar made all the subjects to perform the same test twice. The „mean‟ for all the time taken by the selected
subjects was calculated and it was a bit better than the „mean‟ of morning first. The subjects were given exercise
of 15 to 20 minutes in the mode of warm up. Then all the subjects were once again exerted into the same testing.
The „mean‟ obtained after warming up was a little better than that of the result obtained in the morning
motivation. There the „mean‟ was 9.6217. As soon as that test was over the subjects were given feedbacks in the
mode of motivation. For about a short motivation of about 15 minutes or so the subjects were once again put to
the same test in the same manner as done in the previous session. The subjects performed much better than all
the tests conducted earlier. There the „mean‟ was 9.5609. Other results were also calculated minutely. The
standard deviations for all the tests were of almost the same although there were slight differences. The values
of „t-test‟ were totally different but the „p-values‟ for all the tests were zeroes.
The third item for the test of the subjects was sit up. All the selected subjects were allowed to perform
two tests each like it was done in the other test items and the better test performance was taken down as the final
score. The fourth item began from 6 a.m. and ended at 9 a.m. Every subject was made to perform the test and
the better result was noted down. The „mean‟ for the morning first for the test item of sit up was 40.08. Then the
subjects were given 15 to 20 minutes warm up and then made to perform the same test items in the same manner
as they were allowed earlier. The „mean‟ was again noted down. After warming up, the „mean‟ rose to 44.51.
There was a significant increase in the performance. After that test the subjects were given feedbacks in way of
motivation for about 15 minutes. Then all the subjects were once again made to perform their test in the same
manner and procedure as earlier. The „mean‟ was 46.86. The overall performance for all the subjects improved
after motivation. With that the first session for the fourth test item concluded. At 3 p.m. of the same day the
second session for the fourth test item began. Every selected subject was made to perform the test in the lie
manner as earlier. The „mean‟ was again calculated and noted down under the evening first column. The „mean‟
was 41.58 which was somewhat better than the „mean‟ of morning first.
Then the subjects were given 15 minutes warm up. All the subjects were again made to perform the
same test in the same style. The subjects performed much better after warming up. The „mean‟ rose up to
46.4875 which was almost equal to the „mean‟ of morning motivation. After the test of evening warm up all the
subjects were given feedbacks for about 15 minutes. Then once again the subjects were made to perform the
same test items in the like manner. The „mean‟ was calculated and noted down. The performance of all the
selected subjects excelled after motivation. The „mean‟ rose up to 48.8 after motivation. The research scholar
compared the other relevant data. The standard deviation for the entire test was almost the same except for
minor differences. The values of „t-test‟ were all different but the „p-values‟ for all were zeroes.
All the selected subjects were tested one by one. The style and procedure of performance for the
subjects were carried out in the same manner with the other test items. Out of two performances for every
subject the better score was selected as the data. The „mean‟ for the morning first was 72.25. After the morning
first test the subjects were given 15 minutes warm up. Then the subjects were again made to perform their tests
in the same manner and the better scores were recorded accordingly. The „mean‟ rose to 79.91 which was a bit
better than the morning first. Just after that test the subjects were given feedbacks and motivated accordingly.
After for about 15 minute‟s motivation the subjects were again made to perform the same test in the same style
and procedure. The „mean‟ rose up to 83.00 after motivation. The performances of all the subjects excelled
much after motivation. Once again the selected subjects were made to perform their test items in the same way
and manner as done in the morning first. The „mean‟ was calculated and noted down in the column of evening
first. The „mean‟ was 75.61 which was better than the morning first. At the end of the evening first test the
subjects were given a warm-up of 15 to 20 minutes. After warming up the subjects were again made to perform
the same tests in the similar nature. The „mean‟ was calculated and noted down. The „mean‟ obtained after
warming up test rose up to 81.71. Just after that test the subjects were briefed and thereby motivated for about
15 minutes. Then once again the subjects were made to perform the same test in the like manner and style. The
„mean‟ was once again calculated and noted down under the column of evening motivation. The „mean‟ rose up
to 83.83. After motivation the subjects performed much better than the other two tests.
