Final answer:

Sequence B) Ttest, 1 RM power clean, 1 RM bench, 1.5 mile run would likely produce the most reliable results as it minimizes the effect of fatigue from the endurance test on the strength and power tests, starting with less exhausting tests and ending with the most physically demanding one.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the following sequences will produce the MOST reliable results: A) 1RM power clean, Ttest, 1.5mile run, 1 RM bench press B) Ttest, 1 RM power clean, 1 RM bench, 1.5 mile run C) 1.5 mile run, 1RM bench, Ttest 1 RM power clean D) 1RM bench, 1 RM power clean, Ttest, 1.5 mile run, it is important to consider the fatigue factor and the potential interference of prior exercises on subsequent tests.

Therefore, sequence B) Ttest, 1 RM power clean, 1 RM bench, 1.5 mile run would likely provide the most reliable results as it places the cardiorespiratory endurance test (the 1.5 mile run) after the strength and power tests, minimizing the interference of fatigue from the endurance test on the strength and power tests. This sequence begins with the Ttest, which measures agility and is not as physically exhausting as maximum resistance tests or endurance runs, followed by the maximum resistance tests (1 RM power clean and 1 RM bench) which can be performed effectively after a test of agility, and ends with the endurance run, which would be most affected by prior exertion.
