“…Despite its common use, we could not find any studies reporting the reliability for pull-ups. Our handgrip test results using the Baseline hand dynamometer were consistent with those of authors 11,24 who reported ICCs of 0.85 to 0.98 using the Jamar dynamometer (Sammons Preston Rolyan, Bolingbrook, IL). In addition to its high reliability A B value, the handgrip test takes very little time to administer and does not result in significant muscular fatigue.…”

Context:Fitness testing is used frequently in many areas of physical activity, but the reliability of these measurements under real-world, practical conditions is unknown.Objective: To evaluate the reliability of specific fitness tests using the methods and time periods used in the context of realworld sport and occupational management.Design: Cohort study. Conclusions: Five of the 6 tests in this battery had acceptable reliability over an 18-month time frame, but the values for certain individuals may vary considerably from time to time for some tests. Specific tests may require a learning period for administrators.Key Words: fitness assessment, dynamic balance, Harvard step test, handgrip, vertical jump, pull-ups, 60-second jump test Key Points• For fitness testing under real-world sport and occupational settings and over time, the modified Harvard step, handgrip, vertical jump, pull-up, and 60-second jump tests were reliable; the dynamic balance test was not. However, the Harvard step and 60-second jump tests demonstrated learning effects.• Although these tests may be useful in identifying differences among individuals, limits-of-agreement analysis indicated that the tests are restricted in their ability to detect conditioning changes in individuals over time.

“…A back dynamometer (Takei, Tokyo, Japan) was used in the two tests. In one study, isometric back flexion and extension test was found to be reliable (ICC = .93-.97) (Essendrop et al, 2001). (f) A force-velocity (F-v) test was performed for the legs on a cycle ergometer (Monark Ergomedics 874, Monark, Sweden).…”

“…The better of the trials was recorded as the maximal effort for each hand (Skinner, 2005). In one study, the test-retest reliability of this test was found to be high (ICC = .98) (Essendrop et al, 2001). (e) Isometric back and leg strength tests -Two tests were performed.…”

Nikolaidis, P., Ziv, G., Arnon, M., & Lidor, L. (2015). Physical and physiological attributes of soccer goalkeepers -Should we rely only on means and standard deviations? J. Hum. Sport Exerc., 10(2), pp.602-614. The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to profile physical characteristics and physiological attributes of soccer goalkeepers (GKs) who were divided into three age groups -under 16 years, 16-19, and over 19, and (b) to examine the intra-individual variability among the GKs in each age group on all physical and physiological measurements performed in the study. The GKs underwent a series of physical (e.g., height, body mass, and percentage of body fat) and physiological (e.g., anaerobic profile, power and strength, and flexibility) tests. The three main findings of the current study were: (a) differences in physical characteristics and physiological attributes existed between GKs in the three age groups, (b) intra-individual variability can be found in most physical characteristics and physiological attributes of the GKs, and (c) the intra-individual variability was observed in all three groups. These findings emphasize the need for coaches to examine the intra-individual variability in GKs on their teams. These findings can be used by coaches when planning specific training programs for GKs of different age and skill levels.

“…Three maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) with 30 seconds of recovery between attempts were conducted, and the highest value was recorded. Maximal force and the corresponding moment arm were registered (16). Furthermore, handgrip strength was measured with a handheld dynamometer (model 281111, Smedley, Tokyo, Japan).…”
