| Popis: | This study examined the test-retest reliability (TRR) and feasibility of four muscle strength and three balance tests included in the Special Olympics (SO) FUNfitness test-battery, used worldwide to assess physical fitness of SO athletes with intellectual disabilities (ID). A sample of 36 Belgian participants with ID (22 men, 14 women) aged 8–30 years, completed a battery of seven tests twice within a two-week time interval. We assessed TRR by means of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM), and Bland-Altman plots. All tests demonstrated good feasibility and relative and absolute reliability. The ICC ranged between 0.75 and 0.89. All SEM values demonstrated acceptable measurement precision (SEM |
