Abstract: Objective To develop a paper-and-pencil test for motion agility and to examine its psychometric properties. Methods For the purpose of measuring motion agility, the material of the paper-and-pencil test for motion agility included a special paper and 2 compasses.The radii of compasses were 1.5 and 2 cm, respectively.Subjects were asked to draw circles using the two compasses by turns on the special paper.Totally,712 subjects were subjected to the paper-and-pencil test for motion agility, among whom 45 were re-tested after 23 days, and 46 were subjected to screwing performance test. The training grades of 37 subjects were collected.Results The correlation between the paper-and-pencil test and screwing performance test scores was 0.48.The correlation between the paper-and-pencil test and the training grades was 0.40.The re-test reliability of the paper-and-pencil test for motion agility was 0.57.Conclusion The validity of the paper-and-pencil test for motion agility is acceptable.It can be operated easily as a group test for motion agility.
