A three steps testing of normal distribution was performed for each data set: 1. Graphic display (QQ-plot, histogram and box plot), 2. Ratio analysis, 3. Kolmorogov-Smirnov (with Lilliefors significance correction) and Shapiro-Wilks testing.
Two step tests were performed to evaluate the influence of fatigue induced defects observed in specimens which did not fail within 1010 cycles.
The ten step test is a valid and reliable modified agility test for older adults.
This work has implemented the solid-liquid equilibrium for TAG mixtures in a two step approach: stability tests and equilibrium compositions computations for two phase mixtures.
The ten step test was conducted twice with a 5-minute rest in between after a preparation trial; the quickest time of the two trials was used for analysis.
These results suggest that a decline in most cognitive performance measures can be predicted by poor execution of a more demanding physical performance measure such as the ten step test for agility.
In 1988, Unilever introduced the first "one step" test, Clearblue Easy, so named for the blue stripe that slowly materialized to indicate pregnancy.
CAT: computerized adaptive testing; HAQ-DI: Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Itemx; Iresponse response theory; IQOLA: International Quality of Life Assessment PROMISS: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System; TSTI: Three step test interview.
Physical performance measures were assessed using the ten step test for agility, short physical performance battery test for an overall physical function, static balance test using a Pro.Balance board, and dynamic balance using the functional reach test.
Agility was measured using the ten step test (TST), 19 in which participants were asked to step one foot up and down onto a 10 cm height block followed by the other foot, as fast as possible.
A battery of physical performance tests (10 m gait speed test, dominant hand grip strength test, timed five-repetition sit-to-stand test, ten step test, arm curl test, scratch test, and respiratory muscle strength test), biochemical profiles (serum albumin, hemoglobin, serum ferritin, and prealbumin levels), and falls risk using the short-form Physiological Profile Approach were performed.
