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.
