Abstract :The present study aims to test the reliability and validity of ÇAĞIN Hand and Foot Reaction Tests. A total of 120 athletes, 60 under the age of 18 and 60 over the age of 18 who were actively playing soccer, participated in the study. ÇAĞIN Hand and Foot Reaction Tests were applied to the athletes participating in the study 3 times with 2-week intervals using FitLight Trainer and BlazePod devices. In order to determine the validity of the data obtained from the athletes by applying ÇAĞIN Hand and Foot Reaction Tests, two measurements made with the FitLight Trainer device at different times were compared, and in order to determine the reliability, measurements made with the FitLight Trainer and BlazePod device on different days were compared and analyzed. Paired Simple T-Test in SPSS 26.0 package program was applied to determine both validity and reliability. According to the findings obtained, the validity and reliability correlation coefficients of all 6 tests in the ÇAĞIN Hand and Foot Reaction Tests were found to be r>0.70 (p<0.05). In the light of these findings, it was determined that the validity and reliability of ÇAĞIN Hand and Foot Reaction Tests were very high (r= 0.70-0.90).
