When measuring maximum strength, a high accuracy and precision is required to monitor the training adaptations. Based on available reliability parameters, the literature suggests the replacement of the one repetition maximum (1RM) by isometric testing to save testing time. However, from a statistical point of view, correlation coefficients do not provide the required information when aiming to replace one test by another. Therefore, the literature suggests the inclusion of the mean absolute error (MAE), the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) for agreement analysis. Consequently, to check the replaceability of 1RM testing methods, the current study examined the agreement of isometric and dynamic testing methods in the squat and the isometric mid-thigh pull. While in accordance with the literature, correlations were classified high r = 0.638-0.828 and ICC = 0.630-0.828, the agreement analysis provided MAEs of 175.75-444.17 N and MAPEs of 16.16-57.71% indicating an intolerable high measurement error between isometric and dynamic testing conditions in the squat and isometric mid-thigh pull. In contrast to previous studies, using MAE, MAPE supplemented by CCC and BA analysis highlights the poor agreement between the included strength tests. The recommendation to replace 1RM testing with isometric testing routines in the squat does not provide suitable concordance and is not recommended.
在测量最大力量时,需要高精度和高精确度来监测训练适应性。基于可用的可靠性参数,文献建议用等长测试代替一次重复最大(1RM)测试以节省测试时间。然而,从统计学角度来看,当试图用另一种测试代替一种测试时,相关系数并不能提供所需的信息。因此,文献建议纳入平均绝对误差(MAE)和平均绝对百分比误差(MAPE)来进行一致性分析。因此,为了检查 1RM 测试方法的可替代性,本研究检查了等长和动态测试方法在深蹲和等长大腿中部拉伸中的一致性。虽然与文献一致,相关系数被分类为高 r=0.638-0.828 和 ICC=0.630-0.828,但一致性分析提供了 175.75-444.17 N 的 MAE 和 16.16-57.71%的 MAPE,表明在深蹲和等长大腿中部拉伸中,等长和动态测试条件之间的测量误差不可容忍。与之前的研究不同,使用 MAE、MAPE 补充 CCC 和 BA 分析突出了所包括的力量测试之间的一致性差。建议用等长测试代替深蹲中的 1RM 测试的建议并不能提供适当的一致性,因此不被推荐。
