To validate the Muscle Power Sprint Test (MPST) against the Wingate Anaerobic cycling Test (WAnT) in a group of youth with cerebral palsy (CP).
Twenty children and adolescents (11 boys and 9 girls; mean age = 14.8 years) with spastic CP, and classified as either level I or II of the Gross Motor Function Classification System, completed the study.
Very strong significant correlations were seen for peak power (PP) and mean power (MP) from the MPST and WAnT PP and MP values (PP: r = 0.731, P < .001; MP: r = 0.903, P < .001).
The results of this study show that the MPST is a valid test for measuring anaerobic capacity in children with CP, and that this test can be used as an evaluation tool for anaerobic performance in exercise interventions focusing on children and adolescents with CP who are able to walk or run independently.
在一组脑性瘫痪(CP)青少年中,验证肌肉力量冲刺测试(MPST)相对于温盖特无氧骑行测试(WAnT)的有效性。
二十名患有痉挛性CP的儿童和青少年(11名男孩和9名女孩;平均年龄 = 14.8岁),被归类为粗大运动功能分类系统的I级或II级,完成了该研究。
MPST的峰值功率(PP)和平均功率(MP)与WAnT的PP和MP值之间存在非常强的显著相关性(PP:r = 0.731,P <.001;MP:r = 0.903,P <.001)。
本研究结果表明,MPST是测量CP儿童无氧能力的有效测试,并且该测试可作为运动干预中无氧性能的评估工具,适用于能够独立行走或跑步的CP儿童和青少年。
