Reliability and validity measures for upper limb flexibility tests.
| Upper limb flexibility | Measured variable | Reliability | Construct validity (correlation with self-reported climbing ability) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shoulder flexibility test (6, 134) | Shoulder active dynamic FLEX (overhead) | – | – |
| Shoulder abduction and flexion (6) | Shoulder active static FLEX (range of motion) | – | r = .14 (6)+ |
FLEX, flexibility; +, criterion validity (correlation with climbing performance test scores).
