“…Consequently, if a new subject from the studied population presented with a measured directly peak VO 2 of 30 ml kg ¡1 min ¡1 , there is a 95% probability that their predicted peak VO 2 from the FITNESSGRAM reports could be as low as 30 £ 0.76 = 22.90 ml kg ¡1 min ¡1 or as high as 30 £ 1.38 = 41.31 ml kg ¡1 min ¡1 . Cooper et al (2005) investigated the criterion related validity of the 20-m MSRT for VO 2max in 30 active young men (21.8 § 3.6 years) who performed a continuous incremental laboratory test to volitional exhaustion to determine VO 2max and the 20-m MSRT. The results for each subject were expressed as a predicted VO 2max (ml kg ¡1 min ¡1 ) obtained by cross-referencing the Wnal level and shuttle number (completed) at which the subject volitionally exhausted with that of the VO 2max table provided in the instruction booklet accompanying the 20-m MSRT.…”

“…Such tests require the subject to either cover as much distance as possible in a set time (Cooper 1970), cover a set distance in the fastest time possible (Kline et al 1987) or perform a 20-m multistage-shuttle-run-test (MSRT) (Leger and Lambert 1982). These running tests are maximal from the onset and require well-motivated subjects with some knowledge of pace judgment and understanding of the test requirements (Mahoney 1992;Ramsbottom et al 1988;van Mechelen et al 1986).…”

This study compared the validity of reported equations as predictors of peak VO(2) in 8-10-year-old children. Participants (90 boys and girls aged 8-10 years) performed the multistage-shuttle-run-test (MSRT) and peak VO(2) was measured in field using a portable gas analyser. The equations that estimated peak VO(2) from the MSRT performance were chosen according to the age range of this study. As follows, the FITNESSGRAM reports and the equations of Leger et al. (Can J Appl Sport Sci 5: 77-84, 1988), Barnett et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 5:42-50, 1993), Matsuzaka et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 16:113-125, 2004) and Fernhall et al. (Am J Ment Retard 102:602-612, 1998) were used to estimate the peak VO(2) and compared with the directly measured value. The equation of Leger et al. (Can J Appl Sport Sci 5: 77-84, 1988) provided a mean difference (d) of 4.7 ml kg(-1) min(-1) and a 1.0 slope. The equation of Matsuzaka et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 16:113-125, 2004)(a) using maximal speed (MS) showed a higher d (5.4) than the remaining using total laps d (4.2). The equation of Barnett et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 5:42-50, 1993)(a) that includes triceps skinfold and MS showed the highest d (6.1) but the smallest range (24.1) and slope (0.6). Data from the FITNESSGRAM had the smallest d (1.8 ml kg(-1) min(-1)), but also had the highest range between limits of agreement (28.6 ml kg(-1) min(-1)) and a 1.2 slope. The lowest slope (0.4) and range (22.2 ml kg(-1) min(-1)) were observed using the equation of Fernhall et al. (Am J Ment Retard 102:602-612, 1998). Log transformation of the data revealed that the equations of Matsuzaka et al. (Pediatr Exerc Sci 16:113-125, 2004)(a) (1.1*/÷1.25) and Fernhall et al. (Am J Ment Retard 102:602-612, 1998) (1.17*/÷1.25) showed the closest agreement among all, but they still yield unsatisfactory accuracy.

“…However, inexperienced runners have difficulties to find the optimal speed, and are therefore underestimated. The multistage 20-meter shuttle run test (MST) was shown to be an accurate method to estimate VO 2max in adults in one study (r = 0.90) (Léger L & Gadoury C, 1989), whereas other studies failed to provide such strong correlations (r = 0.79 -0.86) and reported a statistically significant underestimation of VO 2max by MST (3.0 -7.5 %) (Cooper et al, 2005;Grant S et al, 1995;McNaughton L et al, 1998;Ramsbottom R et al, 1988). In children and adolescents, the correlations between MST estimates and criterion measures of VO 2max ranged between 0.71 and 0.87 (American College of Sports Medicine position stand., 1990; Boreham CAG et al, 1990;Léger L et al, 1988;Liu NYS et al, 1992).…”

(2009 AbstractA poor physical condition -expressed as physical inactivity and poor physical fitness -is associated with development of chronic diseases and premature death. The aim of this position statement is to evaluate the currently available methods for measuring physical activity and physical fitness in the general population.Physical activity is determined by duration, frequency and intensity and derives from many different domains making it difficult to assess over longer time periods and no feasible general criterion measure exist. Both objective and subjective methods are available. Of the objective methods accelerometry seems to be the most attractive technology, and is well enough developed for general use in large populations. The advantage of the method is that it is not dependent on memory of the individual, but the disadvantage is that it grossly underestimates energy expenditure, due to the lack of registration of certain activities. This may be solved to a certain extent by combining it with heart rate measurement, but it still does not measure activity in different domains.Of the subjective methods self-report questionnaires are feasible and easy to administer. Many questionnaires have been developed, but we are in need of 1) consensus on which measures to use for validation and 2) further development of internationally standardised questionnaires to be used in different settings and to different scientific questions. Many questionnaires correlate well with biological markers and development of chronic diseases, but subjective measurement will always face a certain degree of misclassification. Furthermore, unstructured physical activity like e.g.housework and gardening may be subject to recall bias. So far no measurement seem superior to the other, and the choice of instrument will depend on the research question asked. Future research should combine information from both objective and subjective methods.Physical fitness comprises several components with cardiorespiratory endurance and muscle strength and endurance as the most important. Direct measurement of oxygen consumption is the criterion measure for cardiorespiratory endurance. As regards muscle strengths and endurance only test-retest reliability is available. The hand held dynamometers greatly facilitate field testing for maximal isometric muscle strength assessment, whereas force plate measurements can be used for the lower extremities. For endurance simple tests like push-ups and sit-ups seems reliable.

“…Thus, the 95% of the ratios for the log transformed test score divided by log transformed retest score should be contained between .993 (1.001 ÷ 1.008) and 1.009 (1.001 × 1.0086) for NMAT and between .991 (1.000 ÷ 1.0091) and 1.009 (1.000 × 1.0091) for Ball-NMAT. As practical considerations, when an athlete from the experimental group performed respectively 9.5 seconds and 11.9 seconds on the NMAT and the Ball-NMAT, on the retest he could perform a score as high as 9.5 × 1.009 = 9.59 seconds, or as low as 9.5 × .993 = 9.43 seconds for NMAT and a score as high as 11.9 × 1.009 = 12.01 seconds, or as low as 11.9 × .991 = 11.79 seconds (Cooper, Baker, Tong, Roberts, & Hanford, 2005). According to Atkinson and Nevill (1998), it is important to use the MDC 95 as a criterion todetermine whether a real change has occurred between testand retest.…”

This study examined the test-retest reliability, validity and external responsiveness of a new multi-change of direction agility test (NMAT) designed for soccer players. Forty-four Tunisian soccer players were recruited and were divided into two groups according to their playing levels (International, n = 21 and National, n = 23). Following familiarization, athletes performed squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), running speed test (5 m and 20 m), 15-m agility run (Agility-15 m), 15-m ball dribbling (Ball-15 m), and NMAT and ball dribbling NMAT (Ball-NMAT) in 2 sessions, 48 h apart. The intraclass correlation coefficient and SEM values were .96 (CI 95%: .94 -.98) and .05 seconds for NMAT and .97 (CI 95%: .94 -.98) and .09 seconds for Ball-NMAT, respectively. The smallest worthwhile changes were greater than their SEM for both NMAT and Ball-NMAT. The MDC 95 values were .15 seconds and .25 seconds for NMAT and Ball-NMAT, respectively. Both NMAT and Ball-NMAT were respectively correlated with Agility-15 m (r = .78; p < .001) and Ball-15 m (r = .81; p < .001). Similarly, significant correlations were observed between both NMAT and Ball-NMAT and leg power and straight sprint (.01 < p < .001). International-level soccer players were better than national-level in all tests including NMAT and Ball-NMAT (.01 < p < .001). The areas under their receiver operator characteristics curve were > .7 (.85; CI 95%: .71 -.94 and .91; CI 95%: .78 -.97 for NMAT and Ball-NMAT, respectively). These results indicated that NMAT provides excellent absolute and relative reliabilities. The NMAT can distinguish soccer athletes of different competitive levels. Thus, the NMAT may be suitable for field assessment of specific agility of soccer players.
