Biomechanical Evaluation of the Burpee Test Battery
Author(s): AWS Chandana* and HACS Hapuarachchi
This study was aimed at evaluating the performance level of strength, endurance, agility, balance, and coordination
with biomechanical factors of youth in Sri Lanka. Most of the available test batteries were designed for particular
groups of people, in relation to their anthropometric measurements, Geographic Variation, and socio-cultural factors.
Therefore, the modified Burpee test (the 30s, with push-up and vertical jump) was introduced to the subject (n=383,
male and n=327, female) to design a test battery. The percentile method was used to distinguish the performance
levels. The average number of Burpees of males and females are 9 (SD=3.4) and 6 (SD=2.5), respectively. University
students (68), whose, physical fitness levels (satisfactory level or above) were tested for four times through the Eurofit
test, were selected to observe their performance levels unde.. Read More»
