Abstract
The reliability of isometric right wrist flexor strength in test-retest situations was studied. Based upon certain premises of Hettinger's work, an experiment was designed to test measurement schedules which theoretically were capable of eliminating any pure strength development effects upon criterion strength measures. On one day three matched groups each of ten subjects were given one, two, or three sessions respectively each of five trials. They were retested two weeks later. Results indicated that: (a) the varying number of trials on the first day had no significant effect upon criterion strength measures in the retest situation either as a main effect or at different levels of absolute strength, and (b) measurement schedules investigated represented a highly reliable procedure for assessing criterion isometric strength without the intrusion of non-pertinent effects of measurement schedules themselves.
