Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) are reported to have lower levels of strength and anaerobic capacity. The purpose of this study was to (1) identify field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity used in studies comparing children with DCD and children who were typically developing (TD), (2) examine the methodological quality of studies reporting psychometric properties and rate the psychometric properties of the examined test, and (3) summarize available evidence by combining the methodological quality of the studies and the quality of the psychometric properties of the test.
An electronic search was conducted in July 2019 in 4 electronic databases. For purpose 1, primary studies were included with no exclusion of study design in which children aged 4 to 18 years with DCD were compared with children who were TD on strength and/or anaerobic capacity measures. For purpose 2, primary studies were included with no exclusion of study design in which a psychometric property was investigated. The Consensus-Based Standards for Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the 34 studies and rate the psychometric properties of the tests used.
Hand-held dynamometer, bent knee push-up, vertical jump, standing long-jump, functional strength measurement, fitness test, and test battery can be recommended for TD, and the shuttle run item of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition and 10 m × 5 m sprints (straight and slalom) can be recommended for DCD.
Information regarding psychometric properties of field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity in children with DCD is lacking.
Information about the psychometric properties of field-based tests for strength and anaerobic capacity in children with DCD is lacking. More information is available on TD children, but it is also not complete; information regarding validity and responsiveness, especially, is missing. When using measures in children with DCD, it is important to keep in mind this lack of evidence for the validity and reliability of the outcomes for this target group.
据报道，发育性协调障碍（DCD）儿童的力量和无氧能力水平较低。本研究的目的是：（1）确定用于比较 DCD 儿童和典型发育（TD）儿童的力量和无氧能力的基于现场的测试；（2）检查报告心理测量特性的研究的方法学质量，并对所检查测试的心理测量特性进行评分；（3）通过结合研究的方法学质量和测试的心理测量特性质量来总结现有证据。
2019 年 7 月，在 4 个电子数据库中进行了电子检索。为了目的 1，纳入了没有排除研究设计的原始研究，其中 DCD 儿童与 TD 儿童在力量和/或无氧能力测量方面进行了比较。为了目的 2，纳入了没有排除研究设计的原始研究，其中调查了心理测量特性。共识基础健康测量仪器选择标准（COSMIN）用于评估 34 项研究的方法学质量，并对所使用的测试的心理测量特性进行评分。
手持测力计、屈腿俯卧撑、垂直跳跃、立定跳远、功能力量测量、健身测试和测试组合可推荐用于 TD，而布鲁因克斯-奥塞雷茨基运动能力测试第二版的 shuttle run 项目和 10 m×5 m 冲刺（直道和弯道）可推荐用于 DCD。
关于 DCD 儿童力量和无氧能力基于现场的测试的心理测量特性的信息缺乏。
关于 DCD 儿童力量和无氧能力基于现场的测试的心理测量特性的信息缺乏。关于 TD 儿童的信息较多，但也不完整；特别是缺乏有效性和响应性的信息。在 DCD 儿童中使用这些措施时，重要的是要记住，针对这一目标群体，缺乏有关结果的有效性和可靠性的证据。
