The results have shown that there is significant correlation between UKJK and the tests employed. The moderately high correlation between Progressive Aerobic Cardiovascular Endurance Run and 2.414 km run (r = 0.675), the Partial Curl-ups test and Bent Knee Sit-ups test (UKJK) (r = 0.688), the Push-ups and Modified Push-ups (UKJK) (r = 0.678).
