Rigorous evidence concerning the reliability of physical tests among young athletes is lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to comprehensively determine the retest reliability of the most commonly used tests to assess physical qualities in adolescent rugby league players, and to provide the standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change for each test to support objective athlete monitoring.
A repeated-measures design was employed with 50 adolescent, schoolboy rugby league players (16.2 [1.3] y) completing the same testing battery across 2 consecutive weeks. Within each week, stature, body mass, and ∑4 skinfold thickness assessments, as well as countermovement jump, medicine ball throw, and 1-repetition maximum bench press, back squat, and prone row tests were conducted on the first testing day. Forty-eight hours later, a second testing day contained the 10- and 20-m linear sprints, 505-Agility Test, L-run Test, and Multistage Fitness Test.
Nonsignificant (P > .05), trivial differences (dav = 0.00-0.16) were evident between trials in all tests. The coefficient of variation ranged from 0.05% to 4.02% across tests. The intraclass correlation ranged from .704 to .999. All tests presented relatively low standard error of measurement, with accompanying minimal detectable change provided.
These data can help inform decision making among end-users when implementing tests in a repeated manner and interpreting testing data.
缺乏关于年轻运动员身体测试可靠性的严格证据。因此，本研究旨在全面确定评估青少年橄榄球联盟球员身体素质最常用测试的重测可靠性，并为每项测试提供测量标准误差和最小可检测变化，以支持客观的运动员监测。
采用重复测量设计，50名青少年男子橄榄球联盟球员（16.2[1.3]岁）在连续两周内完成相同的测试组。在每周内，在第一个测试日进行身高、体重和∑4皮褶厚度评估，以及反向移动跳、药球投掷、1次重复最大卧推、后蹲和俯卧划船测试。48小时后，第二个测试日进行10米和20米直线冲刺、505敏捷性测试、L跑测试和多级体能测试。
所有测试中各试验之间均存在不显著（P>.05）、微小差异（dav=0.00-0.16）。各测试的变异系数范围为0.05%至4.02%。组内相关系数范围为.704至.999。所有测试的测量标准误差相对较低，并提供了相应的最小可检测变化。
这些数据有助于终端用户在重复进行测试和解释测试数据时做出决策。
