| Previous research has reported the validity and reliability of a number of tests of children’s fitness. |
| Our systematic review indicated that the 5-min run test did not meet accepted criteria for reliability, whilst the 6-min walk test failed to meet the criteria for validity. |
| We further identified that of all sufficiently valid and reliable tests of children’s fitness, the 20-m shuttle run test was identified as the most scalable. |
