Abstract
Strength test is an important component of physical fitness test in many countries and regions in the current world.Based on the different test concept of different countries,all test systems show commonalities and differences on some degree.First,due to the anatomical characteristics of the human body,the test indexes distribute in different " body block" and the "body blocks" index number is limited strictly.Upper limb's optional indexes is relatively more but concentrated.There are different opinions in lower limbs' test necessity.Second,modified pull-ups,standard push-ups(for male)and modified push-ups(for female)have higher reliability and validity for upper body strength test.It is focusing on the trunk flexor strength test and ignoring the extensor strength test and sit-ups(flexor index)'s test requirements are different and sit-ups without fixed feet,torso motion range of 35°45° and rhythm has higher reliability and validity.90° dynamic Trunk Extension and Plank Isometric hold are the supplement trunk index for reference.Standing long jump with "technical controversy" and two kinds of countermovement jump need for revalidation.
