“…The majority of the studied participants were characterized by average strength endurance (68.18% of women completed 37‐60 cycles/3min, and 66.71% of men completed 47‐66 cycles/3 min). In a study comparing strength endurance of early education teachers and first‐year female university students vs. pre‐school children and elementary school students, 73.27% of the evaluated women achieved average results, but their scores comprised a smaller range of values (36‐50 cycles/3 min), probably due to a much smaller sample size (520 women) (Podstawski et al, 2014).…”

The aim of this study was to develop international standards for evaluating strength endurance with the use of the 3‐Minute Burpee Test. The results of 3862 women (Poland – 2502, Great Britain – 500, Hungary – 412, Serbia – 448) and 5971 men (Poland – 4517, Great Britain – 500, Hungary – 451, Serbia – 503) aged 18‐25 (mean age of 20.36 ± 0.94 and 20.05 ± 1.25 y, respectively) were collated between 2004 and 2018. The students’ strength endurance was evaluated in the 3‐Minute Burpee Test. The results were expressed on a uniform scale with the 3‐sigma rule which was used to develop the T‐score scale for the 3‐Minute Burpee Test. Men completed 56.69 cycles/3 min and women – 48.84/3 min on average. The best male participant completed 82 burpees, and the best female participant – 73 burpees. The majority of male and female participants (66.71% and 68.18%, respectively) were characterized by average strength endurance in the 3‐Minute Burpee Test (range of scores: 47‐66 and 37‐60 cycles/3 min, respectively). Very good strength endurance (76‐85 and 72‐83 cycles/3 min, respectively) was noted in the smallest percentage of male and female participants (0.52% and 0.26%, respectively). Similar studies should be carried out in other countries and in different age groups to develop objective international classification standards for variously‐aged individuals.

“…The latter implies that those with a higher body mass, either fat or muscle mass, may be at a disadvantage when performing the burpees over time. This is supported by the observation that body composition and height have a negative relationship with the number of completed burpees performed in 3 min [11,12]. Thus, in the present study, we deliberately express the performance in the 3-MBT relative to athletes' BMI (see Table 4).…”

“…Table 4 showed the descriptive results of all the test measures taken in Part II (validity). Due to the high influence of body mass and body height on the energy costs of performing the burpees on the number of burpees completed, the results are reported in absolute and relative (adjusted to body mass index or BMI) terms [8,11,12]. Similarly, all the other physical fitness tests' results of CMJ, IMTP, SMBT, IBP and VO 2max measures are also reported in absolute and relative terms (i.e., accounting for body mass or body height) [24][25][26].…”

Due to a prolonged period of quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is essential to monitor the physical condition of athletes isolated at home with a fitness tool that measures various aspects of physical fitness, which does not require any special equipment, and can be performed within a small space. This study assessed the reliability and validity of the test of performing the maximal number of burpees in 3 min (or 3-MBT) to monitor strength, power, and aerobic endurance in trained athletes. For Part I (reliability of the 3-MBT), 20 (10 male, 10 female) national athletes from various sports performed the 3-MBT on two separate test sessions. Athletes performed as many burpees as possible within 3 min and the primary performance criteria was the number of burpees completed (where a higher number reflected a better performance). The 3-MBT displayed excellent relative reliability in the athletes, with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and coefficient of variation (CV %) of >0.92, and <3.0%, respectively. For Part II (validity of the 3-MBT), 40 (20 M, 20 F) athletes performed the 3-MBT, and the countermovement jump (CMJ), isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), seated medicine ball throw (SMBT), isometric bench (IBP) and maximal aerobic power (VO2max) tests on separate sessions. When data of male and female athletes were pooled, there were significant correlations between relative 3-MBT and relative CMJ height (r = 0.65, large; p < 0.001), relative IMPT peak force (r = 0.50, large; p < 0.001), relative IBP peak force (r = 0.36, moderate, p = 0.02), and relative VO2max (r = 0.50, large; p < 0.001). In conclusion, the 3-MBT is a reliable and reasonably useful test and is a valid assessment of lower body power and strength, upper body strength and aerobic fitness in trained male and female athletes.

“…As expected, body mass and BMI exerted a negative influence on most motor abilities, excluding selected strength trials, such as medicine ball backward and forward throws. Body mass and BMI were positively correlated with strength abilities in a study comparing physical fitness levels in preschoolers, primary school students, female university students (FUS) and early education teachers (EET) (Podstawski,Mańkowski, &Raczkowski, 2014). Both FUS and EET received significantly higher scores in the medicine ball throw than the evaluated children, which can be attributed to higher values of body mass, height and BMI.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate sex-mediated differences, and the correlations, between anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities of university students performing various motor tests. The study was conducted between 2000-2018 on 4956 first-year full-time female students and 4551 male students (20.0±1.0 years total for both sexes). The participants' body mass and height were measured, and their BMI was calculated. Motor abilities were evaluated in 13 motor skill tests. The recorded values of body mass, height and BMI were significantly higher in men than in women (percentage values: 22.8%, 8.9% and 6.8%; Sexual dimorphism indicator (SD): 1.96, 2.56 and 0.53). The greatest differences in the values of the SD indicator were observed in the 12-minute rowing ergometer test: (37.6%, SD-3.53), medicine ball backward and forward throws (37.77 and 37.48%, SD-2.28 and 2.27), and standing long jump (23.98 %, SD-2.51). In both sexes, BMI was significantly (p<0.001) negatively correlated with all motor tests, excluding medicine ball throws (positive correlation, p<0.001) and 1-minute Burpee test (not significant in women). The correlations between body height and motor tests differed between sexes. Male students were characterized by significantly higher levels of anthropometric characteristics and motor abilities, whereas females performed better in flexibility tests. The advantage of men over women was highest in endurance and strength abilities, and lowest in speed/agility abilities. Body mass was significantly negatively correlated with all motor tests, excluding medicine ball backward and forward throws (positive correlations and no correlation in one case). Significant positive correlations were noted between motor tests evaluating the same motor abilities.
