11. A system for determining upper body strength of a subject, the system comprising:
-
an object upon which a force is exerted by the subject during a strength test of the subject;
a frame;
a force detector positionable on the frame to receive the object during the test; and
a controller coupled to the force detector and configured to determine a value related to kinetic energy imparted on the force detector by the object during the test. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method of determining an upper body strength of a subject, the method comprising acts of:
-
adjusting to a testing position a force detector configured to receive an object upon which a force is exerted by the subject during a strength test of the subject, wherein the testing position is established, at least in part, based on a size of the subject;
detecting a force exerted by the subject; and
providing an upper body strength test result for the subject. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A system for evaluating at least one of a participant'"'"'s reaction time or a participant'"'"'s eye-hand coordination, the system comprising:
-
a workstation having a processor, a display and a user input device, wherein the processor is programmed to present one or more objects on the screen, measure a participant'"'"'s response to presentation of the objects and determine a score for the participant; and
a communication device that communicates the score to a central device in a test facility. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)

29. A method for evaluating a participant'"'"'s reaction time, the method comprising acts of:
-
(a) displaying an object;
(b) recording an input by the participant following act (a);
(c) determining an elapsed time between a time of occurrence of act (a) and a time of occurrence of the input;
(d) repeating acts (a)-(c) for a plurality of objects; and
(e) determining a score based on the elapsed time determined at act (d) for each of the plurality of objects. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)

36. A method for evaluating a participant'"'"'s eye-hand coordination, the method comprising acts of:
-
(a) displaying, in a display, a first object and a second object;
(b) allowing a location of the second object in the display to be controlled by the participant;
(c) randomly moving a location of the first object in the display;
(d) collecting data, for a plurality of points in time, representative of a distance between the first object and the second object as the participant moves the location of the second object in an attempt to maintain a spatial relationship between the first object and the second object;
(e) performing regression analysis on the data;
(f) performing an analysis of a variability of the data;
(g) comparing the results of act (f) with benchmark data; and
(h) determining a score based on the results of act (e) and act (g).
