• “Back saver sit and reach”. With the subject seated on the floor and using a standardized support, it was
possible to define the maximum distance reached with the tip of their fingers by flexion of the trunk (Chillon et
al., 2010). Such test indicates the amplitude of movement or flexibility.
• Hand Dynamometry. By making use of a digital dynamometer Takei TKK 5101 (range, 5-100 kg) the
maximum hand grip strength in both hands was assessed (Ruiz et al., 2006).
• Course-Navette test. This test assessed the maximal aerobic capacity by means of an indirect-incrementalmaximum
field test, a 20 m shuttle run test, by using the equations proposed to estimate maximal oxygen
consumption (VO2max) (Ortega et al., 2005). The subject starts the test by walking and finishes it by running
from one point to another and by making the change of direction at the rhythm indicated by an audible signal
that is progressively accelerating. The reliability and validity of this test to predict VO2max in children and
adolescents have been thoroughly demonstrated.
