Preparing athletes for competition requires the diagnosis and monitoring of relevant physical qualities (e.g., strength, power, speed, endurance characteristics). Decisions regarding test selection that attempt to measure these physical attributes are fundamental to the training process yet are complicated by the myriad of tests and measurements available. This article presents an evidenced based process to inform test measurement selection for the physical preparation of athletes. We describe a method for incorporating multiple layers of validity to link test measurement to competition outcome. This is followed by a framework by which to evaluate the suitability of test measurements based on contemporary validity theory that considers technical, decision-making, and organisational factors. Example applications of the framework are described to demonstrate its utility in different settings. The systems presented here will assist in distilling the range of measurements available into those most likely to have the greatest impact on competition performance.
让运动员为比赛做好准备需要对相关身体素质（如力量、爆发力、速度、耐力特征）进行诊断和监测。有关测试选择的决策旨在测量这些身体属性，这是训练过程的基础，但由于有大量的测试和测量方法可供选择，这一过程变得复杂。本文提出了一个基于证据的过程，为运动员身体准备的测试测量选择提供依据。我们描述了一种纳入多层效度的方法，将测试测量与比赛结果联系起来。接下来是一个框架，用于根据考虑技术、决策和组织因素的当代效度理论评估测试测量的适用性。文中描述了该框架的示例应用，以展示其在不同环境中的效用。这里介绍的系统将有助于从众多可用测量方法中提炼出最有可能对比赛成绩产生最大影响的方法。
