Sažetak
The aim of this study was to determine the construct validity of the standing long jump test in boys and adolescents. The participant was 120 subjects equally divided into 5 experimental groups and one control group. Each group contained 20 respondents of boys and adolescents, and a control group was made of 20 students of second year from Faculty of Kinesiology. The sample of variables consisted of the standing long jump test, vertical jump test and the age of respondents. To determine the construct (convergent) validity of the standing long jump test with regard to age the correlation analysis was carried out. From the obtained Pearson’s correlation coefficients, it can be concluded that the standing long jump test in boys and adolescents, as a measurement tool to assess explosive strength of lower limbs, have poor construct validity and thus has a lower utility value. The author suggest that vertical jump without arm swing (countermovement jump) is a more reliable test for measuring lower explosive muscular strength in younger age groups, as demonstrated in previous studies.
