How to conduct the test
The assistant is responsible for instructing the athlete as to the position toassume at the appropriate stage. Throughout the test the bac % nec and headshould be maintained in the posture as per figure below. f the athlete is unableto hold this position then the test is to be stopped.

Stage 2
• 3nd of test
The assistant records the stage at which the athlete is unable to maintain thecorrect body position or is unable to continue with the test.
Analysis
$nalysis of the result is by comparing it with the results of previous tests. t ise,pected that% with appropriate training between each test% the analysis wouldindicate an improvement.
f the athlete is able to complete this test then it indicates they have good corestrength. f they are unable to complete the test then repeat the routine or /
