Koordinationstest (KT)
Time ratios (60 min.) correspond to a group size of approx. 30 participants.
Of course, each participant is tested individually.
The coordination test corresponds to the Vienna coordination course (with the exception of the figure-of-eight run and scoring table) and is used to test coordination skills. This test checks whether the participants can move within the specifications under time pressure.
Execution regulations
Facility:
The KT must always be carried out indoors and cannot be moved outside. In the KT, all posts are precisely prescribed and are located in a clearly defined place. A volleyball court should be marked out in the hall, as the controls are distributed from this court according to certain measurement specifications. The controls are located within the volleyball court. Securing the bar to minimise the risk of injury is the responsibility of the test leader and has the highest priority.
Post description:
- Backward roll-forward roll: A small soft mat is placed in the corner of the volleyball court for the backward roll. For the forward roll, a mat is placed next to the first one.
- 360° turn: The turn is performed on another small soft mat. The mat is attached to the mat track, which is ready for the rolls.
- Balancing: The narrow side of the long bench faces upwards. A line is marked with adhesive tape 0.5 m in front of the end of the narrow side of the long bench.
- Figure-eight run: A rope is stretched between two painting sticks (distance 1.5 m) at a height of 0.5 m.
- Slalom: Five clubs are used for the slalom. A medicine ball (2 kg, Ø 28 cm) is placed in a tyre.
- Cross jump: A rectangle 40 cm wide and 1 m long is stuck to the floor with adhesive tape. Lines on the rectangle at 25 cm intervals serve as orientation (see sketch).
- Cross jump: A square (side 0.4 m) is stuck to the floor with adhesive tape, which serves as orientation for the jumps.
- Low jump: The bar height from the floor is 1.20 m for the front bars and 1.70 m for the rear bars. The greatest possible distance is set between the bars. Two small soft mats are placed behind the parallel bars to cushion the competitor's low jump (fix the mats with adhesive tape, long side in the direction of movement). There is no small soft mat on the floor of the parallel bars (risk of tripping).
Execution:
Roll backwards-Roll forwards: The roll backwards and forwards is performed on a small soft mat.
360° turn: Jump or step over with a 360° turn around the longitudinal axis of the body (valid from 270 degrees).
Balancing: The participant balances over the narrow side of the long bench up to the mark.
Run of eight: The two painting sticks are run round in the shape of a figure eight. The aim is to run/crawl under the rope on the first loop and jump over it on the second. If the rope is touched, the entire exercise must be repeated.
Slalom: The medicine ball (2 kg, Ø 28 cm) provided in the (gymnastics) tyre is passed through the clubs in a slalom with the hands or feet. The medicine ball is then placed back into the tyre. If a club is tipped over, the participant must stand it up again before the slalom can be continued.
Cross jump: The participant jumps over the centre field 8 times with the outer leg, i.e. crosswise. Finally, a jump is made to the end of the field, landing on both legs. If a mistake is made, the jump combination must be restarted from the beginning.
Square jump: The participant jumps over the square a total of 5 times on one leg. The jumping sequence is: forwards, backwards, right, left (or left, right) and forwards again. In the event of a mistake, the jump combination must be restarted from the beginning.
Lower jump: The participant jumps over/climbs over/climbs the second bar, whereby the first bar must be passed underneath (climbing underneath) in order to reach the floor of the bar between the two bars first. The most common variant for jumping over the bar is for the participant to hold on to one bar with each hand and jump off the floor of the bar, with the arms acting as a support, in order to get onto the lower bar with one leg. The supported leg is then used to push off from the bars, allowing the participant to cross the upper bar with the support of the free-swinging leg. However, there are also other ways to move the body over the upper bar (see overcoming the bar obstacle on the obstacle course in the field).
Target: The landing after the low jump corresponds to the target.
Attempts:
Two, the better attempt is scored.
Measurement:
The running time is measured to the nearest second (round the result mathematically).
The measurement starts with the (start) command of the test leader and ends with the landing after the lower jump (acoustic and/or visual perception).
Control:
The test leader explains all the execution regulations to the participants in advance and shows the controls if necessary (however, all participants should be familiar with the test). During the KT, the test leader accompanies the participant and checks the execution of the exercise. If a mistake is made, the test leader instructs the participant to repeat the entire exercise (except for the slalom, where the participant sets up the club again himself and continues the exercise). If a second test leader is available, the next participant can only be sent onto the course as soon as the participant in front has passed the slalom. There are never more than two competitors on the course. When landing from the low jump, the test leader stops the time. The result is recorded directly electronically or transferred later from an evaluation sheet to an electronic device.
