中小学生成人敏捷性测验的信度和效度。

摘要：Carballo-Afonso， R, González-Devesa， D, Sanchez-Lastra， MA, Diz-Gómez， JC, Ayán-Pérez， C.中小学成人敏捷性测试的信度和效度。[J]《力量与心理杂志》XX(X): 000-000, 2024-本研究旨在确定成人敏捷性测验（ATA）在中小学生中的信度和效度。样本包括156名小学生和289名中学生。对所有被试的人体测量变量、成人敏捷性测试和10 × 4米穿梭跑测试结果进行分析。成人敏捷性测验的内部一致性值较高（α: 0.82 ~ 0.88）。成人敏捷性测试原(类内相关系数[ICC]: 0.733；95%置信区间（CI）[0.579-0.821])和调整后的表现时间(ICC: 0.754；95% ci[0.573-0.845])。成人敏捷性测试原始（Rho = 0.46 ~ 0.48）和调整后（Rho = 0.46 ~ 0.49）的表现时间与10 × 4米穿梭跑测试均存在相当显著的相关。这种关联适用于小学生（Rho = 0.37-0.43）和中学生（Rho = 0.41）。中学生进行成人敏捷性测试时，其相对信度、绝对信度和收敛效度均较好。成人敏捷性测试的特性使其非常适合于儿童发育运动迟缓的早期和经济有效的检测。此外，成人敏捷性测试可以帮助设计量身定制的运动项目，旨在提高协调性和身体表现，这对儿童和青少年运动技能的最佳发展至关重要。

期刊介绍： The editorial mission of The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research (JSCR) is to advance the knowledge about strength and conditioning through research. A unique aspect of this journal is that it includes recommendations for the practical use of research findings. While the journal name identifies strength and conditioning as separate entities, strength is considered a part of conditioning. This journal wishes to promote the publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts which add to our understanding of conditioning and sport through applied exercise science.
