The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of Assessment Instrument for Special Needs Students (AISNS) based on invasion category games in Physical Education. The design of assessment instrument is based on the PDCA Cycle Model (plan, do, check, act). The process of gaining validity and reliability involves two cycles. The result showed the validity of assessment instrument is r = 0.91 (N = 5) while the reliability is r = 0.97 (N = 6). Based on the findings, AISNS is suitable to be used as a standardized learning assessment instrument to assess the level of Performance Standard for basic skills of invasion category games in Physical Education (Special Education) for Form 2.

Background: The birth year is a criterion for grouping competitive categories in various sports. Children born in the early months of the calendar can benefit during their formative process because they have a higher chronological age and are more likely to be in more advanced stages of biological maturation. Objectives: To test the association between skill-related fitness performance and birth quartiles for understanding the relative age effect (RAE) among 12-year-old children in Malaysia. Method: A total of 462 school children (226 boys and 236 girls) with mean age of 12.5 ± 0.5 years were involved in this study. The children underwent four skill-related fitness assessments: 30-metre run, agility t-test, stork balance stand test, and standing broad jump test. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) was used to assign participants to the high performance (HPG), moderate performance (MPG), and low-performance (LPG) groups. The groups were split into a contingency table according .....
