We analyzed intertrial reliability using a one\u2010way analysis of covariance and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), and test\u2013retest reliability using dependent samples <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\u2010tests and ICCs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>At the first testing session, there were significant differences in times across seven trials (F<jats:sub>2.44,80.42<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u200921.55, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u2009.001). All trials were faster than the first trial. The second, third, and fifth trial were faster than the previous trial. There was moderately high overall reliability across the first seven trials (ICC<jats:sub>2,1<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20090.77, 95% confidence interval\u2009=\u20090.63, 0.87). All times were faster at the second testing session (compared to the first). Most outcomes for the 1\u2010week test\u2013retest reliability demonstrated at least moderate reliability, including the best times for the first three, four, and five trials; average times for the first four and five trials; and best and average times for all of the participants' normal trials during five and 10 attempted trials.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>There are practice effects when administering multiple tandem gait test trials, but scores stabilize after the fifth trial.
