Abstract

Six tests for estimating arm coordination factor were analysed on the sample of 46 first year male students. Tests were of composite type, where items were defined as the repetitions of tasks.
Analysing every test independently discrimination, internal consistency and lower bound of reliability of tests as well as the validity of items for estimating the first principal components of item intercorrelation matrixes were determined.
Analysing the whole battery together it was determined that tests had one unique subject of measurement, which could, only hypothetically, be named as arm cordination factor. It was suggested that tests MVLR, MAML and MZON and MORE ini modified pattern could be used for measurement of this factor.
