Abstract

Since
no protocol is accepted as a gold standard within the context of repeated sprint
tests, reliability of the tests that evaluate repeated sprint ability is very
important in sport sciences. The aim of this study was to determine the
test-retest reliability of performance outputs and physiological responses
measured in 10x25 m repeated linear sprint test (RLST) and 10x(2x12.5 m)
repeated shuttle sprint test (RST_SH) with 30 sec passive recovery in young
soccer players. Fifteen young soccer players (age:17 ± 0.37 years; height:177.2
± 6.06 cm; body mass:68.1 ± 5.86 kg) voluntarily participated in this study.
Subjects participated in RLST and RST_SH in random order with 2-3 days
intervals for each test within two weeks in an artificial turf. Total sprint
time (TST), best sprint time (BST), worst sprint time (WST), lactic acid, heart
rate and fatigue scores with 6 different formulas were measured for each test.
For the difference between repeated measurements; paired sample t-test, for
reliability; intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), typical error (TE) and
typical error as coefficient of variation (CV_TE) were measured. Performance
components were parallel in repeated measurement in RST_SH(p>0.05), in RLST
on the other hand there was a significant difference(p<0.05). For
performance components measured in both tests, CV_TE was less than 5 %, but ICC
values were moderate for RST_SH and low for RST_S. CV_TE was unacceptably high
for 6 different formulas that calculated fatigue scores in both tests, on the
other hand ICC was low. For physiological variables CV_TE was high, ICC was
either moderate or high in both tests. The results of the present study
indicated that RST_SH protocol had higher reliability when compared with RLST
in young soccer players. In addition RST_SH was found to be more suitable for
evaluation of repeated sprint performance and physiological responses.

Genç Futbolcularda 10 x 25 m Tekrarlı Sprint ve 10 x (2 x 12.5 m) Tekrarlı Mekik Sprint Testlerinin Güvenirliği

Abstract

Tekrarlı sprint testleri(TST)
kapsamında altın standart olarak kabul edilecek bir protokol olmadığı için spor
bilimleri alanında tekrarlı sprint yeteneğinin değerlendirildiği testlerin
güvenirliği önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı genç futbolcularda 30 saniye pasif
toparlanmalı 10 x 25 m düz koşu tekrarlı sprint (TST_D) ve 10 x (2 x 12.5 m) tekrarlı
mekik sprint testlerinde(TMS) ölçülen performans çıktılarının ve fizyolojik
yanıtların test-tekrar test güvenirliğini belirlemektir. Çalışmaya 15 genç
futbolcu  (yaş: 17 ± 0.37 yıl;  boy: 177.2 ± 6.06 cm; vücut ağırlığı: 68.1 ± 5.86
kg; spor yaşı: 6.73 ± 0.59 yıl) gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Katılımcılara
zemini suni çim olan futbol sahasında iki hafta içinde birbirini takip eden 2-3
gün ara ile ikişer kez TST_D ve TMS rastgele sıra ile uygulanmıştır. Testlerde
toplam sprint zamanı(TSZ), en hızlı sprint zamanı(EHSZ), en yavaş sprint
zamanı(EYSZ), laktik asit (dinlenik, test sonu ve toparlanma 3. dakikada), kalp
atım hızı (dinlenik, test esnasında ve toparlanma 3. dakikada)  ve 6 ayrı formülle yorgunluk skorları
ölçülmüştür. Tekrarlı ölçümler arasındaki farklar için Bağımlı Gruplarda t Testi,
güvenirlik için sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısı(SKK), tipik hata(TH) ve
varyasyon katsayısı olarak tipik hata(VK_TH) hesaplanmıştır. TMS’de tekrarlı
ölçümlerde performans bileşenleri benzer bulunurken(p>0.05),   TST_D’de anlamlı fark
saptanmıştır(p<0.05). Her iki testte ölçülen performans bileşenleri için VK_TH
% 5’den düşük ancak SKK değerleri TMS için orta düzeyde, TST için düşük
düzeydedir.  Her iki testte yorgunluk
skorlarının hesaplandığı 6 farklı formül için VK_TH kabul edilemez düzeyde
yüksek, SKK ise düşüktür. Her iki testte fizyolojik değişkenler için VK_TH
yüksek SKK ise orta ya da yüksek düzeydedir. Bu çalışmanın bulguları genç
futbolcularda TMS protokolünün güvenirliğinin TST_D’den daha yüksek olduğunu
göstermiştir. Genç futbolcularda tekrarlı sprint performansının ve fizyolojik
yanıtların değerlendirilmesinde TMS daha uygun bir protokoldür.
