Popis: Within the scope of this research a specific sample of subjects consisting of 30 attenders of wrestling training in a wrestling club in Zagreb was measured. The subjects are aged 13± ; 1 and their wrestling experience is approximately equal. The aim of this paper was to determine metric characteristics of a measure instrument for which it is assumed to be serving for the evaluation of the flexibility and velocity of movement. The research showed high reliability of the test according to the classic and Guttman Harris´s measuring model. The normality of distribution of the test resalt is confirmed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, although a slight positive asymmetry and mild elongation of distribution was noticed. With the factual analysis of the tests according to the Guttman-Kaiser criterion of extraction, we were given a common factor with very high correlation of variable and the factor, and this determined the factual validity of the newly designed test. This confirmed thatthe test evaluates dimensions defined as specific flexibility and velocity of movements considering it statistically significantly correlated with the tests that evaluate the above mentioned motor abilities.
