To find out effective measures for diagnosis of basic physical fitness of College Judoists,29 measures validated to measure 11 ability domains extracted as factors were chosen through examining 52 items by the factor analytic procedure in former studies.
The following question, however, remained; whether the easier and more practical procedure can be devised, because measures are still trouble some and time consuming to administer.
(1) Ten items were chosen; stature, body weight, back strength, shoulder-arm pulling strength, side step, vertical jump,400 meter run, trunk extension, dynamic balance, percent body fat, from each ability domain extracted as factor in former study: body linearity, body bulk, static strength, agility, explosive strength, consecutive exertion of power, flexibility, balance and body composition.
(2) The item validity was evaluated by the correlation of each item chosen with the ability domain score computed by the mean of standard scores of items involved in each of 10 ability domains except speed domain.
The results were; body linearity (0.955), body bulk (0.968), static strength (0.822), agility (0.872), flexibility (0.717), explosive strength and speeds (0.876), body balance (0.639).
It remains to further examine the validity from different point of view, how the basic physical fitness estimated by using 10 items and the actual competition records of individuals are connected.
