Parkour speed-runs require performers (known as Traceurs) to negotiate obstacles with divergent properties such as angles, inclinations, sizes, surfaces, and textures in the quickest way possible. The quicker the run, the higher the performer is ranked. Performance in Parkour speed-runs may be regulated through Parkour Traceurs' functional movement skill capacities given the physical requirements of the event. This study examined what functional movement skills correlate with Parkour speed-run performance. Nineteen male Parkour Traceurs undertook a physical testing battery inclusive of: agility T-test, maximal grip strength test, and maximal vertical and horizontal jumps across several jump modalities. For the speed-run, Parkour Traceurs navigated an indoor Parkour installation. Pearson's correlation analyses ( revealed that agility T-test performance showed a significant positive correlation with Parkour speed-run performance, whereas standing long jump and counter movement jump (with and without arm swing) were significantly negatively correlated with Parkour speed-run performance. Concurrent with the intrinsically-linked building blocks in the Athletic Skills Model, the data from the present study suggest that performance in Parkour-speed-runs are underpinned by functional movement skills (jumping, running; arm swinging) and conditions of movement (agility), all of which encapsulate elements of basic motor properties (speed; strength). From a practical perspective, the agility T-test, standing long jump, and counter movement jump with and without arm swing can form a basic battery to evaluate the physical effects of Parkour speed-run interventions on functional movement skills. HighlightsAs Parkour speed-runs could be implemented to improve functional movement skills in different domains (indoors, outdoors, collectively as members of a team or individually), it was important to explore what composition of a battery of standardised athletic tests for functional movement skills correlated to Parkour speed-run performance (time to completion).In line with the intrinsically-linked building blocks in the Athletic Skills Model, the data from the present study suggest that performance in Parkour-speed-runs are underpinned by functional movement skills (jumping, running; arm swinging) and condition of movement (agility), all of which encapsulate elements of basic motor properties (speed; strength).Testing batteries examining the effects of Parkour speed-run interventions should include the following: agility T-test, CMJ jumps without arm swing using both feet and the dominant and the non-dominant foot, SLJ, and CMJ jumps with an arm swing component using both feet and the dominant and the non-dominant foot.
跑酷速跑要求表演者（称为跑酷者）以最快的方式越过具有不同特性的障碍物，如角度、倾斜度、大小、表面和质地等。跑得越快，表演者的排名越高。鉴于该项目的身体要求，跑酷速跑的表现可能受跑酷者功能性运动技能能力的调节。本研究调查了哪些功能性运动技能与跑酷速跑表现相关。19名男性跑酷者进行了一系列体能测试，包括：敏捷性T测试、最大握力测试，以及通过多种跳跃方式进行的最大垂直和水平跳跃。在速跑测试中，跑酷者在一个室内跑酷设施中完成测试。皮尔逊相关性分析表明，敏捷性T测试成绩与跑酷速跑表现呈显著正相关，而立定跳远和反向纵跳（有无摆臂）与跑酷速跑表现呈显著负相关。与运动技能模型中内在关联的构建要素一致，本研究的数据表明，跑酷速跑的表现由功能性运动技能（跳跃、跑步、摆臂）和运动条件（敏捷性）支撑，所有这些都包含基本运动属性（速度、力量）的要素。从实践角度来看，敏捷性T测试、立定跳远以及有无摆臂的反向纵跳可以构成一个基本测试组，以评估跑酷速跑干预对功能性运动技能的身体影响。要点由于跑酷速跑可以在不同领域（室内、室外、团队成员集体或个人）实施以提高功能性运动技能，因此探索一系列标准化的功能性运动技能体能测试的组成与跑酷速跑表现（完成时间）之间的相关性很重要。与运动技能模型中内在关联的构建要素一致，本研究的数据表明，跑酷速跑的表现由功能性运动技能（跳跃、跑步、摆臂）和运动条件（敏捷性）支撑，所有这些都包含基本运动属性（速度、力量）的要素。用于检验跑酷速跑干预效果的测试组应包括以下内容：敏捷性T测试、双脚以及优势脚和非优势脚无摆臂的反向纵跳、立定跳远，以及双脚以及优势脚和非优势脚有摆臂动作的反向纵跳。
