Abstract
The purpose of this article is to report the, validity and reliability of locomotor development inventory that has been used to evaluate locomotor development of children aged 7, 8 and 9 years old. The first phase of the study has been carried out through Exploratory Factor Analysis and test re-test procedure by using data from 90 boys from a primary school in Penang, Malaysia. The Exploratory Factor Analysis through orthogonal rotation varimax method has shown six sub test have been developed. Meanwhile, the test re-test coefficient is .98. The reliability and objectivity of the assistant examiner also have been obtained, the r coefficient ranged from .88 to .95 and ranged from .84 to .92, accordingly. The Cronbach Alpha of the overall items is .82. For the second phase of the study, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis as well as Pearson correlation analysis has been carried out toward data of 192 boys from the primary schools in Malaysia. The purpose of this analysis is to support the factor structure developed from the first phase of the study.
