Abstract
The purpose was to determine whether relative or absolute leg power was a better predictor of physical performance. Male college subjects (N = 50) were tested on the AAHPER Youth Fitness Test and on Barrow's Motor Ability Test. The correlation coefficients for absolute leg power and relative leg power, when both were related to the AAHPER test, were .67 and .73, respectively. The corresponding coefficients when both leg power tests were related to the Barrow Test were .48 and .43, respectively. It was concluded that both absolute and relative leg power predict physical performance with similar accuracy.
