Popis:	This study was designed to investigate the equivalence reliability between the suggested FITNESSGRAM® muscular strength and endurance test, the 90° push-up (PSU), and alternate FITNESSGRAM® tests of upper-body strength and endurance (i.e., modified pull-up [MPU], flexed-arm hang [FAH], and pull-up [PU]). Children (N = 383) in Grades 3 to 6 were tested over a period of a week. Equivalence reliability for the PSU–MPU comparison was acceptable for boys across ages 8 to 10 (Percentage Agreement [Pa] = .74 to .78, Modified Kappa [Kq] = .48 to .56), with good agreement among boys age 11 (Pa = .86, Kq = .72). Equivalence reliability for girls was unacceptable across all ages (Pa = .54 to .59, Kq = –.04 to .18). Reliability estimates were also acceptable for boys on the PSU–FAH comparison across all ages (Pa = .72 to .80, Kq = .44 to .60). Similar results were not found for girls. Consistency of classification was not demonstrated between PSU–PU for boys ages 10 and 11 years; however, acceptable to good estimates...
