Background and Study Aim. The objective of the study was to perform a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis to determine the validity of running-based sprint test in relation to 30 second Wingate anaerobic test. Material and Methods. A search of the relevant literature was done using the key words, ‘running-based anaerobic sprint test’, ‘RAST’, ‘Validity’ ‘repeated sprint’ and ‘Wingate’. Twelve studies including 368 participants were finalized to systematic review and meta-analysis. The mean ± standard deviation of the number of participants was 30.66 ± 16.17 years. Results. The summary of effects size were calculated to established the validity of running based sprint test (RAST) with 30 seconds Wingate test as a criterion measure. All studies indicate that effect size of Peak Power (PP) shows higher summary effects 0.58 (95%CI – 0.37, 0.79), similar outputs were observed for Mean Power (MP) 0.67 (95%CI – 0.45, 0.90). Therefore, the average outcomes were significantly different from zero. Conclusions. Running-based anaerobic sprint test is a valid alternative method of 30 seconds Wingate test to measure anaerobic power outputs of healthy individual belongs to various sports disciplines. Although, anaerobic capacity or power output is a determinant factor in power dominating sports. Therefore, RAST is compatible to laboratory-based Wingate 30 second anaerobic test (WAnT) in field-based settings.
Problem statement: Numerous fitness tests are usually administered to determine either muscular strength or cardiovascular endurance. Even though an ample number of tests exist to measure upper body muscular endurance and lower body maximal muscular strength, a single test that assesses both could be beneficial in some circumstances. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if a hand-grip dynamometer strength test is a valid predictor of lower body explosive strength. Methods: Participants included 164 college students including both genders included boys = 83, (age 20.72±2.82 yrs., height 170.28±5.48 cm, weight 62.01±9.55 kg) and girls = 81, (age 20.64±2.74 yrs, height 159.30±5.68 cm, weight 55.71±8.14 kg). Subjects performed the standing broad jump (SBJ) for lower body explosive strength. Subjects performed 3 trials of the dominant hand grip strength (dHGS) test, after which the maximum value was recorded. Pearson bivariate correlation analyses were used to determine relationships between measures. Simple linear regression with enter method was performed to predict variation in lower body explosive strength through the hand grip dynamometer strength test. Results: Significant correlations were found between dHGS and SBJ (r = .802, p<0.05), A simple linear regression was calculated to predict BMI based on HGS. The regression was found statistically significant (R 2 = .642, F (1, 162) = 291.036, P<0.05). Following reference equation [SBJ = (0.974) + (0.015) × dHGS] was developed to predict lower body explosive strength. Conclusions: The hand grip dynamometer strength test was a significant predictor of lower body explosive strength. The reference equation calculated implicates its usefulness as a method to predict lower body explosive strength simply through the hand grip dynamometer strength test.
