The purpose of this study was to reach a criterion-referenced test for 20 meter multi
running test for the age group (13 to 16 years) in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The test used
stopping points to categorize weight mass index.
The researcher used descriptive survey method on a sample of (1631) that their ages verified
from 13 to 16 years. He used the following body measurements (height, weight, and BMI
and heart fitness measurement of 20 meter running).
The data was analyzed using mean, standard deviation, flattening, torsion -coefficient-Test,
percentage, kappa coefficient and Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC).
The findings showed that the rates of compatibility in the classification of children into fit
and unfit in 20-meter running test, were very high with fitnessgram pacer test. Also, the area
below the curve obtained from the measured level was acceptable at the point of incidence
of obesity. However, the area below the curve from the measured level at the point of
position to gain weight was weak.
