Relationships between the yo-yo intermittent recovery test and anaerobic performance tests in adolescent handball players.

摘要: The aim of the present study was to investigate relationships between a performance index derived from Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) and other measures physical skill in handball players. considered included peak muscular power lower limbs (Wpeak), jumping ability (squat counter-movement jumps (SJ, CMJ), test average sprinting velocities over first step (VS) 5 m (V5m). scores for 25 male national-level adolescent players (age: 17.2 ± 0.7 years) averaged 4.83 0.34 m·s−1 (maximal velocity reached at IR1); 917 105 Watt, 12.7 3 W·kg−1 (Wpeak); 3.41 0.5 6.03 0.6 (sprint Vs V5m respectively) 10.3 s (handball test). IR1 showed statistically significant correlations with all variables examined: Wpeak (W W·kg−1) r = 0.80 0.65, respectively, p≤0.001); (r 0.73 0.71 VS respectively; (SJ: 0.60, p≤0.001; CMJ: r= 0.66, p≤0.001) 0.71; p≤0.001). We concluded that score sufficient correlation potential means assessing players, intra-individual changes could provide useful composite response training or rehabilitation, although lack precision help players’ selection.
