Competitive athletes must undergo fitness testing to monitor athlete progress and to create appropriate, progressive training programs. However, fitness testing adds to training stress; therefore, impacts of testing on wellness and recovery must be considered in test selection. This study investigated the effects of two incremental field tests [VAMEVAL test (T-VAM) and 20-m maximum shuttle test (20-m MST)] on wellness, total quality of recovery (TQR) and physical enjoyment (PE) in competitive soccer players.
Twenty-two soccer players (20.9±1.5 years) completed two T-VAM and two 20-m MST in a randomized order on separate days with a 1-week interval between tests. TQR and wellness indices (sleep, fatigue, stress and muscle soreness) measures were collected before and 24 hours after each test. Heart rate (HR) was continuously monitored during each test. Rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and PE were assessed after each test.
T-VAM resulted in higher PE, TQR and wellness scores than 20-m MST (p<0.05). T-VAM and 20-m MST resulted in similar HR and maximal aerobic speed. For T-VAM, TQR was correlated (p<0.01) with RPE and wellness indices. For 20-m MST, TQR was correlated (p<0.01) with wellness indices. HRmax and RPE were not correlated with wellness indices, TQR or PE.
Overall, T-VAM and 20-m MST produced similar aerobic fitness testing results, but athletes responded more favorably to T-VAM. Coaches can use T-VAM for evaluating aerobic fitness while maximizing well-being and physical enjoyment among soccer players.
竞技运动员必须进行体能测试，以监测运动员的进步情况，并制定适当的、渐进的训练计划。然而，体能测试会增加训练的压力；因此，在选择测试时，必须考虑测试对健康和恢复的影响。本研究调查了两种递增的现场测试[VAMEVAL 测试（T-VAM）和 20 米最大穿梭测试（20-m MST）]对竞技足球运动员健康、整体恢复质量（TQR）和身体享受（PE）的影响。
22 名足球运动员（20.9±1.5 岁）在 2 天内随机完成了 2 次 T-VAM 和 2 次 20-m MST，两次测试之间间隔 1 周。在每次测试前后采集 TQR 和健康指数（睡眠、疲劳、压力和肌肉酸痛）的测量值。在每次测试过程中连续监测心率（HR）。在每次测试后评估感觉用力程度（RPE）和 PE。
与 20-m MST 相比，T-VAM 导致更高的 PE、TQR 和健康评分（p<0.05）。T-VAM 和 20-m MST 导致相似的 HR 和最大有氧速度。对于 T-VAM，TQR 与 RPE 和健康指数相关（p<0.01）。对于 20-m MST，TQR 与健康指数相关（p<0.01）。HRmax 和 RPE 与健康指数、TQR 或 PE 不相关。
总体而言，T-VAM 和 20-m MST 产生了相似的有氧健身测试结果，但运动员对 T-VAM 的反应更为积极。教练可以使用 T-VAM 来评估有氧健身，同时最大限度地提高足球运动员的幸福感和身体享受。
