Results of Modified Pull Up Assessment
The students as a whole performed very well.
We had 5 students perform above the HFZ and were in the fit range. - two were males and three were females.
16 students fell with in the HFZ- 11 were males and 5 were females
Only two people were below the HFZ- one was male, one was female.
The class range was: 2-42 The class mean was: 21.1
The girls overall ranged was: 2-30 The girls mean was: 11.25
The boys overall range was: 11-42 The boys mean was: 24.6
The class standard deviation was: 9.17
And we had a class total of: 23
*HFZ- Healthy Fit Zone Girls-14+ Boys-30+

Testing for Validity and Reliability
The test was valid because it successfully tested muscular strength and endurace of the back and biceps. For the most part the stronger students and athletes in the class had higher performances then those who probably do not work out on a daily or weekly routine. The boys scores tended to be higher then the girls scores.
The test was reliable because as the two tests were taken, the scores did not seem to be far from one another. The largest difference in scores was a twelve score drop. That must mean that over the time the two test were assessed the student did not do anything to improve their score. I controlled for reliability by making sure the test was set up exactly the same and I did not change my directions or change the students form in anyway from the previous test.

Breakdown of Evaluation
Grade Breakdown:
A +- Above HFZ both times and showed improvement
A - Above HFZ both times but showed no improvement
A- - In the HFZ first time and improved above the HFZ
B + - In the HFZ both times and showed improvement
B - In the HFZ both times but showed no improvement
B- - Was below the HFZ the first time and improved into the HFZ
C+ Was below HFZ both times but showed improvement
C- Was below HFZ both times and showed no improvement
F- Did not participate in either test and recieved a zero.
The test was assessed twice throughout the course of the semester. I wanted to see improvement. That would mean working outside of class to try and improve score. Effort was key to the grade, so if no effort was put into it the grade showed.

Modified Pull Up
The Modified Pull Up Test number one will be assest on Monday October 4th at 8:00 during class in the fitness center. Students are expected to come to class promptly and prepared.
Purpose: This test is meant to measure muscular strength and endurance. It will effectively test and develop arm, shoulder, and back strength. It will also help students prepare there muscles to be able to do the regular pull up tests when that comes.
Test objective: The objective of this test is to correctly complete as many modified pull-ups as possible.
Test Description: This test will be occuring in the wieght room using a modified pull up bar.
Student assumes a supine position with shoulders directly under a bar set one to two inches above the student's reach. An elastic band is placed seven to eight inches below and parallel to the bar. The student grasps the bar with an overhand grip (palms away from the body). The pull-up begins in a "down" position with arms and legs straight, buttocks off the floor, and only the heels touching the floor. The student then pulls up until chin is above the elastic band, and returns to full arm extension. The body must be kept straight and the movement must be rhythmic and continuous (student may not stop and rest).
Passing criteria: Men > 14, Women >4.
