Arm Curl Test Calculator
Procedure:
The aim of this test is to do as many arm curls as possible in 30
seconds. This test is conducted on the dominant arm side (or stronger
side). The subject sits on the chair, holding the weight in the
hand using a suitcase grip (palm facing towards the body) with the
arm in a vertically down position beside the chair. Brace the upper
arm against the body so that only the lower arm is moving (tester
may assist to hold the upper arm steady). Curl the arm up through
a full range of motion, gradually turning the palm up (flexion with
supination). As the arm is lowered through the full range of motion,
gradually return to the starting position. The arm must be fully
bent and then fully straightened at the elbow. The protocol for
the test describes the administrator's hand being placed on the
biceps, and the lower arm must touch the tester's hand for a full
bicep curl to be counted. Repeat this action as many times as possible
within 30 seconds.
Target Population:
The aged population which may not be able to do traditional fitness
tests (seniors).
Scoring:
The score is the total number of controlled arm curls performed
in 30 seconds. Below is a table showing some recommended ranges
for this test based on age groups.
