Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to create and validate an agility test for 3x3 male basketball players in higher education.
Methods
This study analyzed the 3x3 basketball competition format to design an agility test specific to men's 3x3 basketball game at the higher education level. The content validity was assessed using Rovinelli and Hambleton's method with 7 experts while the concurrent validity was determined by comparing the newly developed test to the KU Agility test with 32 male 3x3 basketball players analyzing the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. Reliability was assessed using a test-retest method with the same sample within one week, analyzing the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient between the 1st and 2nd tests. Objectivity was evaluated by having 2 different testers assess the same sample of 8 people, again analyzing the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The values obtained were considered with Kirkendall’s correlation coefficients.
Results
The results indicated that 1). the test possessed content validity,
2). showed concurrent validity with a correlation coefficient of 0.91, which is at an excellent level 3). has a reliability coefficient of 0.86, indicating a good level, and
4). demonstrated an objectivity coefficient of 0.93, which is at an excellent level.
Conclusion
The agility test for 3x3 male basketball players in higher education demonstrates content validity, reliability, and objectivity and serves as a robust tool for measuring and evaluating agility in this demographic.
