Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of eight specific fitness tests for elite female Chinese wrestlers. Twenty-eight elite female wrestlers participated in the study (age: 26.9 ± 2.81 years). The reliability of the tests was analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the 95% confidence interval (CI), the coefficient of variation (CV), and other metrics. The 30-s Sit-Up (SU30) and 6-m Rope Climb (RC6m) tests showed excellent reliability (ICC > 0.9). The 30-s Dummy Throw (DT30) had good to excellent reliability, while the 30-s Bridge-Return (B-R30) showed moderate to good reliability. The 30-s Burpee (BUR30), 15-s Leg Attack (LA15), 15-s Leg Defense (LD15), and Dummy Suplex and Gut Wrench (DS&GW) tests ranged from poor to good reliability. SU30, DT30, LA15, and RC6m tests displayed low variability (CV < 5%), while others exhibited moderate variability. SU30, B-R30, DT30, and RC6m tests are reliable for assessing wrestling fitness. However, BUR30 and LA15 tests showed high variability and should be used carefully. LD15 and DS&GW tests are not recommended for assessing fitness in elite female wrestlers.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Human Kinetics is an open access interdisciplinary periodical offering the latest research in the science of human movement studies. This comprehensive professional journal features articles and research notes encompassing such topic areas as: Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, Sports Training and Behavioural Sciences in Sport, but especially considering elite and competitive aspects of sport.
The journal publishes original papers, invited reviews, short communications and letters to the Editors. Manuscripts submitted to the journal must contain novel data on theoretical or experimental research or on practical applications in the field of sport sciences.
The Journal of Human Kinetics is published in March, June, September and December.
We encourage scientists from around the world to submit their papers to our periodical.
