Abstract
Abstract Using 35 students from the required physical education program, a comparison of the validity of the Rogers and McCloy arm strength formulas was made. The energy cost for the pull-ups and push-ups was used as the criterion measure. Findings revealed: (1) energy cost of the activity was not significantly related to bicep girth or total number of pull-ups plus push-ups, and (2) using energy cost as the criterion measure, McCloy's arm strength formula was slightly more discriminating than the Rogers formula for prediction of arm strength. However, because of the low correlations neither of the formulas could be employed to any significant extent as a predictive measure.
