Evaluation for Reliability of the Standing Broad Jump (SBJ) Fitness Test Among Army Cadet Officers

Standing Broad Jump (SBJ) is a field test to evaluate leg power. Aims: This study aims to evaluate the reliability of the Standing Broad Jump Fitness Test among Army Cadet Officers. Methods: Fifty (N = 50) subjects from Army Cadet Officers of the National Defense University of Malaysia (NDUM) volunteered to take part in this study. The subject performed a standing broad jump fitness test at two different times. All data collected when performing a standing broad jump test is recorded. The standing broad jump fitness test's reliability value was calculated using the test–retest approach. To look at the reproducibility of the standing broad jump fitness test, Pearson's product movement correlation was used. Result: The findings showed the correlation coefficient between the trials is significant (r = 0.81, n = 50, p < 0.001). The results of the study found that the value of the Pearson correlation coefficient for both tests was r = 0.81. The reliability testing showed a strong positive correlation with the fitness test for the standing broad jump. Conclusion: In the field, the reliability of the standing broad jump can be tested according to the population of the Malaysian Military. It can be used as a trustworthy indicator to assess lower limb power, monitor power output rises following training, find new Army Cadet talent, and carry out pre-recruitment tests in various places.
