Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 adults without disabilities (44 men, mean age 44.2 [SD 26] y; 56 women, mean age 38.1 [SD 24.1] y). Participants performed three UULEX tests to establish within-day reliability, measured using an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) model 2 (two-way random effects) with a single rater (ICC[2,1]) and SEM. The effects of age and gender were examined using two-factor mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) and one-way repeated-measures ANOVA. For analysis purposes, four sub-groups were created: younger adults, older adults, men, and women. Results: Excellent within-day reliability and a small SEM were found in the four sub-groups (younger adults: ICC[2,1]=0.88; 95% CI: 0.82, 0.92; SEM\u223c40 s; older adults: ICC[2,1]=0.82; 95% CI: 0.72, 0.90; SEM\u223c50 s; men: ICC[2,1]=0.93; 95% CI: 0.88, 0.96; SEM\u223c30 s; women: ICC[2,1]=0.85; 95% CI: 0.78, 0.91; SEM\u223c45 s). Younger adults took, on average, 308.24 seconds longer than older adults to perform the test; older adults performed significantly better on the third test (p&lt;0.0001; \u03b7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>=0.096). Gender effects were not found (p&gt;0.05). Conclusion: The within-day test\u2013retest reliability and SEM values of the UULEX may be used to define the magnitude of the error obtained with repeated measures. One UULEX test seems to be adequate for younger adults to achieve reliable results, whereas three tests seem to be needed for older adults.
