This test measures upper body strength and anaerobic endurance. Start with body facing ground, thumbs directly under each shoulder's acromium process, with index fingers facing forward. Back and legs are straight. Feet are close together such that there is no more than 2 cm between both medial malleolus. Ankles are in anatomical position with about 90 of bend between lower leg and foot.
Body weight rests on toes and palms of hands.
Repeat this sequence, without pauses until form breaks. A pause is a 2 second or greater lapse in movement. No pausing is allowed at extension of arms. A form break is any deviation from a straight back, including bowing, hunching, or a dolphining action. Hand position or orientation may not be adjusted once the test is started.
