A Development of Cardiorespiratory Endurance Test for Secondary Student of Matthayom Wipawadee, Surat Thani Province

Abstract

This research aims to develop a Cardiorespiratory Endurance test, to test the validity and reliability of a cardiorespiratory endurance test, and create the norm reference of a cardiorespiratory endurance test for secondary students of Matthayom Wipawadee, Surat Thani Province. There were two phases to the research. The first phase was to test content validity by using the Index of Item Objective Congruence (IOC) method from five experts and the concurrent validity by Comparison with the Pacer Test 20 Meter using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The sample used to create the criteria were 180 secondary school students of Matthyom Wipawadee School in Surat Thani Province. the mean and standard deviation were calculated to analyze the statistics.

          The results revealed that the researcher’s developed Cardiorespiratory Endurance Test had a very high level of concurrent validity and a very high level of reliability. The three levels of norm reference into very good, good, and needs improvement was determined by computing the mean and standard deviation. In conclusion, the Cardiorespiratory Endurance test for secondary students of Matthayom Wiphawadee School, Surat Thani Province developed by the researcher was appropriate for testing with the target population.
