Each test is scored from one depending on the competency of the movement. This gives a total score out of 21. The competency of the participant’s movement is graded based on the MCS scoring criteria (Appendix ). For the purposes of this study, the MCS scores was analysed as Section 1 (must pass) and Section 2. All the participants required to passed all the criteria for Section
