Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE NARAASHANS Motor Ability Test Manual By Author Syed Tariq Murtaza, Ph.D. A basic responsibility of professional physical educators has been the evaluation of the physical status of population especially students. Measurement and evaluation are necessary in order to determine one's motor fitness proficiency and as a means of determining if physical education programs are adequately fulfilling established goals and objectives. Tests and measurements in the field of physical education are comparatively recent outgrowth of the general testing movements (Achenbach 1992; Berks 2003; Barnett & Peter 2004). Beginning late in the 19th century as strength tests, tests of track and field and anthropometric measurements, they have increased in number and completeness with amazing rapidity.
