Which test has a mean distance in the range of 670–673 cm?

• A. Single leg hop for distance
• B. Single limb crossover hop for distance
• C. Single leg triple hop for distance
• D. Stair climb test

Answer: (C)

This question tests understanding of distance-based hop tests used to assess leg power and control. The single leg triple hop for distance shows three consecutive hops on one leg, with the total distance measured from start to final landing. Because it sums the distance across three hops, it naturally produces the largest total distance among the options, and normative data for healthy individuals places this mean around 6.7 meters (approximately 670–673 cm). The other tests involve only a single hop or a different pattern of movement, so their mean distances are shorter. The stair climb test, in contrast, measures time to ascend stairs, not distance, so it isn’t expressed in centimeters.
