The students should continue to work in class to help them improve with this test. Regular pull ups, strength exercises like push ups or wieght lifting will them to improve in the class.
Outside of the class, students could try to practice on a homemade pull up bar or at the gym. They could also just continue to stay active and fit which will contribute to their improvement in an overall manner.

Results
The students as a whole performed very well.
We had 5 students perform above the HFZ and were in the fit range. - two were males and three were females.
16 students fell with in the Healthy fit zone- 11 were males and 5 were females
only two people were below the HFZ- one was male, one was female.
The range was from 2- 42
Girls ranged from 2- 30
Males ranged from 11- 42
The class mean was 21.1
Males mean was 24.6
Females mean was 11.25

Validity and Reliability
The test was valid because it was a good indicator of muscular strength for the students. The stronger students were typically able to do more than less stronger students. The males on a average were able to do more than the females.
The t est was reliable because many students scores did not fluxuate too much between the tests. The students had little training fot this test so their scores remained around the same. The biggest change was an 8 rep increase and a 12 rep decrease. Many were under 5 in their changes.
I controlled for reliability by making sure the test was set up exactly the same and I did not change my directions or change the students form in anyway from the previous test.

Evaluation of Modified pull up
The modified pull up will be done twice this semester. Grades will depend on if the students results fall in the below the healthy fit zone, in the HFZ or exceed the HFZ. Improvement between the first and second test will also be taken into account.
Grade Breakdown:
A +- Above HFZ both times and showed improvement
A - Above HFZ both times but showed no improvement
A- - In the HFZ first time and improved above the HFZ
B + - In the HFZ both times and showed improvement
B - In the HFZ both times but showed no improvement
B- - Was below the HFZ the first time and improved into the HFZ
C+ Was below HFZ both times but showed improvement
C- Was below HFZ both times and showed no improvement
F- Did not participate in either test and recieved a zero.

Modified Pull Up
On October 4th, our class will be participating in a modified pull up test.
Purpose: This test is meant to measure muscular strength and endurance. It will effectively test and develop arm, shoulder, and back strength. It will also help students prepare there muscles to be able to do the regular pull up tests when that comes.
Test objective: The objective of this test is to correctly complete as many modified pull-ups as possible.
Test Description: This test will be occuring in the wieght room using a modified pull up bar.
Student assumes a supine position with shoulders directly under a bar set one to two inches above the student's reach. An elastic band is placed seven to eight inches below and parallel to the bar. The student grasps the bar with an overhand grip (palms away from the body). The pull-up begins in a "down" position with arms and legs straight, buttocks off the floor, and only the heels touching the floor. The student then pulls up until chin is above the elastic band, and returns to full arm extension. The body must be kept straight and the movement must be rhythmic and continuous (student may not stop and rest).
Passing criteria: Men > 14, Women >4.
