Which test assesses coordination?

• A. Standing Broad Jump Test
• B. Alternate Hand Wall Ball Test
• C. Illinois Test
• D. Ruler Drop Test

Answer: (B)

Coordination means using senses and body parts together to perform smooth, controlled movements with good timing. The Alternate Hand Wall Ball Test targets this directly because it requires continuously throwing a ball against a wall and catching it with alternating hands in sequence. Keeping a steady rhythm while accurately coordinating both hands with the eye to track the ball tests how well the body units work together to perform a skilled, repetitive movement. The other tests measure different aspects: standing broad jump evaluates explosive leg power and how far you can jump, the Illinois test looks at agility and speed in changing direction, and the ruler drop test measures how quickly you react to a stimulus. So the alternating hand wall ball test is the one that best assesses coordination.
