“…Maximal shoulder extension and elbow flexion were measured via isometric cable tensiometer strength tests as described by Clarke et al (7). For each measure, three trials were performed with the highest score taken as the actual measure.…”

This study examined the tracking of selected measures of physical activity, inactivity, and fitness in a cohort of rural youth. Students (N = 181, 54.7% female, 63.5% African American) completed test batteries during their fifth- (age = 10.7 ± 0.7 years), sixth-, and seventh-grade years. The Previous Day Physical Activity Recall (PDPAR) was used to assess 30-min blocks of vigorous physical activity (VPA), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), TV watching and other sedentary activities, and estimated energy expenditure (EE). Fitness measures included the PWC 170 cycle ergometer test, strength tests, tnceps skinfold thickness, and BMI. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for VPA, MVPA, and after-school EE ranged from 0.63 to 0.78. ICCs ranged from 0.49 to 0.71 for measures of inactivity and from 0.78 to 0.82 for the fitness measures. These results indicate that measures of physical activity, inactivity, and physical fitness tend to track during the transition from elementary to middle school.

“…Several techniques have been employed for the assessment of muscular response. These include vertical jump, isokinetic dynamometry, cable tensiometry, and the 1-repetition maximum technique (Clarke, Bailey, & Shay, 1952;Glencross, 1966;Holmes & Alderink, 1984;McArdIe et al, 1991;Williford, Kirkpatrick, Scharff-Olson, Blessing, & Wang, 1994). Of these procedures, the vertical jump test is a reliable and frequently used indicator of leg power for both laboratory and field settings (Berg et al, 1985;McArdIe et al, 1991;Oberg et al, 1984;Tumilty, 1993).…”

Although many studies have examined the physiological profile of soccer athletes, no comprehensive studies have been conducted on developmental soccer athletes in the United States. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to quantify physiological and sport-specific skill characteristics of Olympic Developmental soccer athletes by age group and region. Following written informed consent, 59 male athletes (age=14.6±2 yrs; wt=60.5±1.4 kg; ht=172.4±1.2 cm) completed a battery of tests to determine oxygen consumption (VO2max), heart rate (HRmax), ventilation (VEmax)1 respiratory exchange ratio (Rmax)1 anaerobic threshold (AT), and blood pressure (BPrestzmax) during a Bruce graded exercise test (GXT). Anaerobic power [peak power (PR), mean power (MP)1 total work output (TWO)] was achieved using a Wingate test. Leg power (vertical squat and countermovement jumps), percent body fat, and flexibilities (trunk, spine, hip, knee, and ankle) were assessed. Agility and sport-specific skill were determined using accepted sport-specific protocols (T-test, line drill test, juggling test, Johnson wall volley, and modified-Zelenka circuit). Factor analyses with subsequent MANOVAs indicated significant (p<.05) main effects across age only. When compared to values reported for athletes of similar age and activity, these athletes were similar in aerobic power and anaerobic power/capacity, lower in leg power, and similar in agility and flexibility. Overall, this study has shown that although these athletes were similar in aerobic performance, improvements in anaerobic power, agility, and sport skill should be addressed. It is hoped that these results may serve as a point of reference for high school and club soccer coaches, as well as for further studies conducted with athletes of this age group and
