“…It should be noted that goalkeepers were not included in the study. Similar findings were reported by other studies [24][25][26]39]. However, in an earlier study, it was reported that midfielders had higher VO 2max values than forwards and defenders [22].…”

The objectives of this study were to investigate (a) the relationship between the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YYIR1) and a laboratory test for measuring maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), (b) the relationships between anthropometric characteristics and variables of the two aerobic tests (field and laboratory), and (c) differences in performance and anthropometric characteristics among five different playing positions. The study involved 27 U17 young soccer players (16.0 ± 0.6 years). They randomly underwent a maximal laboratory treadmill test to measure VO2max and the YYIR1 test. Pearson correlation was used to find potential correlations, and a one-way ANOVA was used to find differences between playing positions. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. The results showed that height was moderately negatively correlated (r = −0.455, p = 0.017) as well as body mass (r = −0.395, p = 0.042). Significant positive correlation was observed between vVO2max and the distance covered in YYIR1 (r = 0.393, p = 0.042). Finally, no differences were observed between playing positions in any anthropometric characteristic or in any variable of the two aerobic tests (laboratory or field) (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the YYIR1 test is not suitable for estimating VO2max. Additionally, the lack of differences between playing positions may be due to the limited specialization of the training load received by the players until this age.

“…In contrast, Gil et al (2007) [23] observed forwards to have higher VO 2max than midfielders and defenders. However, there are also studies that did not find significant differences in VO 2max between playing positions [24][25][26].…”

“…This study aimed to analyze the conditions of aerobic and anaerobic endurance of amateur football players in Blora and the differences among the three positions. The study results showed no significant difference between aerobic and anaerobic endurance among the three player positions (Alpay., 2016). These results were also in line with several other studies showing that vo2max does not differ significantly among players in each different position.…”

This study aimed to analyze the aerobic and anaerobic endurance of defenders, midfielders, and forwards in football game. The researchers applied quantitative descriptive methods and selected 30 football players as the research participants using purposive sampling. Tests and measurements were utilized to collect the data from the participants. The research instrument for measuring aerobic endurance was the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT) and the Running Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) for measuring anaerobic endurance. After the data had been collected, they were analyzed using the One-way Anova test. The results showed no significant difference between aerobic and anaerobic endurance for amateur football defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Midfielders had the highest average of aerobic endurance with an average score of 47.68 compared to defenders with an average score of 43.8 and forwards with an average of 47.1. As for anaerobic endurance ability, midfielders also obtained the highest average score of 5.07 compared to defenders, with a result of 8.24 and forwards, with a result of 8.73.

“…Nowadays, anaerobic fitness tests are applied in clinical and field settings. These tests assess an athlete's capability to produce power and speed in a short period of time or over a relatively short distance (Isik et al, 2014;Isik et al, 2015;Alpay, 2016;Sever et al, 2017).…”

A new approach to Special Judo Fitness Test index: Relative index

Although judo and wrestling have different rules, these branches are two different Olympic sports branches, partly based on similar basic techniques. For example; the technique called "Ippon-SeoiNage" (one shoulder throw) in judo is mechanically the same as the technique called "Arm Throw" in wrestling. The aim of this study was to gain relative special judo fitness test (SJFT) index with a new approach to the SJFT index used in the literature. The maximum number of "arm throw" is required from wrestlers during the tests. The test consists of 3 sets. The sets are 15 sec, 30 sec, and 30 sec, respectively, and rest between the sets is 10 seconds. The heart rate of the wrestlers has recorded at the end of each set of the test and 1 minute after. The wrestlers were classified as the elite and sub-elite group and also as weight classification. Statistical analyses were performed using Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test. There is no statistical difference between elite and sub-elite female wrestlers according to heart rate, the number of "arm throw", SJFT index, and relative SJFT index. On the other hand, there is a statistical difference in relative SJFT index according to weight classifications. Accordingly, lightweight wrestlers have highest relative SJFT index than the other groups. As a result of this study, there was no difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the SJFT index, whereas there was a difference in the weight categories of the wrestlers according to the relative SJFT index. The use of the relative SJFT index to determine the difference between the weight categories will provide more accurate results for performance evaluation.
