Criterion Related Validity of field based fitness tests in adults a systematic review
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021Co-Authors: Jose Castropinero, Jonatan R Ruiz, Nuria Marinjimenez, Jorge R Fernandezsantos, Fatima Martinacosta, Victor Segurajimenez, Rocio Izquierdogomez, Magdalena CuencagarciaAbstract:We comprehensively assessed the Criterion-Related Validity of existing field-based fitness tests used to indicate adult health (19–64 years, with no known pathologies). The medical electronic databases MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Web of Science (all databases) were screened for studies published up to July 2020. Each original study’s methodological quality was classified as high, low and very low, according to the number of participants, the description of the study population, statistical analysis and systematic reviews which were appraised via the AMSTAR rating scale. Three evidence levels were constructed (strong, moderate and limited evidence) according to the number of studies and the consistency of the findings. We identified 101 original studies (50 of high quality) and five systematic reviews examining the Criterion-Related Validity of field-based fitness tests in adults. Strong evidence indicated that the 20 m shuttle run, 1.5-mile, 12 min run/walk, YMCA step, 2 km walk and 6 min walk test are valid for estimating cardiorespiratory fitness; the handgrip strength test is valid for assessing hand maximal isometric strength; and the Biering–Sorensen test to evaluate the endurance strength of hip and back muscles; however, the sit-and reach test, and its different versions, and the toe-to-touch test are not valid for assessing hamstring and lower back flexibility. We found moderate evidence supporting that the 20 m square shuttle run test is a valid test for estimating cardiorespiratory fitness. Other field-based fitness tests presented limited evidence, mainly due to few studies. We developed an evidence-based proposal of the most valid field-based fitness tests in healthy adults aged 19–64 years old.

Criterion Related Validity of field based muscular fitness tests in youth
Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, 2012Co-Authors: Enrique G Artero, Germa Vicenterodriguez, Jose Castropinero, Jonatan R Ruiz, David Jimenezpavon, Maria Claudia Gattocardia, P Baena, Manuel J Castillo, Francisco B OrtegaAbstract:AIM The purpose of the present study was to analyze the association between isokinetic strength and field-based muscular fitness tests in youth. METHODS One hundred twenty-six adolescents (14.4±1.7 y) participated in the study. Upper and lower body isokinetic strength were measured at preset angular velocities of 90 o/s and 60 o/s, respectively. Muscular fitness was also assessed by means of field-based tests: handgrip strength, bent and extended arm hang tests, standing long jump, squat jump, countermovement jump and Abalakov jump. Height, weight and skinfold thickness were used to estimate body composition. RESULTS All field-based tests were significantly associated with isokinetic peak torque and power (P<0.001 in all cases). Handgrip strength and standing long jump showed the highest associations with the isokinetic parameters (0.61≤r≤0.87; 0.39≤R2≤0.76). Weight-bearing field tests increased on average 20 % their association (R2) with isokinetic parameters when standardized by individual's body weight (test score × weight), while the average increase was 16 % when standardized by fat-free mass (test score × fat-free mass). CONCLUSION Handgrip strength and standing long jump tests seem to be the most valid field-based muscular fitness tests when compared to isokinetic strength. These tests can be useful to assess muscular fitness in young people when laboratory methods are not feasible.

Criterion Related Validity of field based fitness tests in youth a systematic review
British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010Co-Authors: Jose Castropinero, Vanesa Espanaromero, Enrique G Artero, Francisco B Ortega, Michael Sjostrom, J Suni, Jonatan R RuizAbstract:The objective of this systematic review was to comprehensively study the Criterion-Related Validity of the existing field-based fitness tests used in children and adolescents. The studies were scored according to the number of subjects, description of the study population and statistical analysis. Each study was classified as high, low and very low quality. Three levels of evidence were constructed: strong evidence, when consistent findings were observed in three or more high quality studies; moderate evidence, when consistent findings were observed in two high quality studies; and limited evidence when consistency of findings and/or the number of studies did not achieve the criteria for moderate. The results of 73 studies (50 of high quality) addressing the Criterion-Related Validity of field-based fitness tests in children and adolescents indicate the following: that there is strong evidence indicating that the 20 m shuttle run test is a valid test to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness, that the hand-grip strength test is a valid measure of musculoskeletal fitness, that skin fold thickness and body mass index are good estimates of body composition, and that waist circumference is a valid measure to estimate central body fat. Moderate evidence was found that the 1-mile run/walk test is a valid test to estimate cardiorespiratory fitness. A large number of other field-based fitness tests presented limited evidence, mainly due to a limited number of studies (one for each test). The results of the present systematic review should be interpreted with caution due to the substantial lack of consistency in reporting and designing the existing Validity studies.

Criterion Related Validity of sit and reach and modified sit and reach test for estimating hamstring flexibility in children and adolescents aged 6 17 years
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Jose Castropinero, Francisco B Ortega, Palma Chillon, Jose Luis Gonzalez Montesinos, M Sjostrom, Jonatan R RuizAbstract:The purpose of the present study was to examine the Criterion-Related Validity of the sit-and-reach test (SRT) and the modified sit-and-reach test (MSRT) for estimating hamstring flexibility in children and adolescents as well as to determine whether the MSRT is more valid than the SRT. A total of 87 (45 boys and 42 girls) children (6-12 years old) and adolescents (13-17 years old) performed the SRT and the MSRT. Hamstring flexibility was measured with goniometry through the passive straight-leg raise test. Regression analysis was performed to study the association of SRT and MSRT with hamstring flexibility (Criterion measure). The SRT was associated with hamstring flexibility in both children (beta=1.089, R (2)=0.281, p=0.001) and adolescents (beta=0.690, R (2)=0.333, p=0.004). The MSRT was also associated with hamstring flexibility in both children (beta=1.296, R (2)=0.298, p<0.001) and adolescents (beta=0.588, R (2)=0.243, p=0.027). It is concluded that the Criterion-Related Validity of the SRT and the MSRT for estimating hamstring flexibility is weak. The present data do not support that the MSRT is a more valid method than the SRT in children and adolescents.

Criterion Related Validity of 1 2 mile run walk test for estimating vo2peak in children aged 6 17 years
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2009Co-Authors: Jose Castropinero, Francisco B Ortega, M Sjostrom, Joana Mora, Jonatan R RuizAbstract:We assessed the Criterion Related Validity of 1/2 mile run/walk (1/2MRW) test for estimating VO2peak in children aged 6-17 years. The Criterion Related Validity of the Fernhall's equation in a sub-group of children aged 10-17 years was also examined. A total of 86 children completed a maximal graded treadmill test and the 1/2MRW test. The cohort was randomly divided into either validation (n=47) or a cross-validation (n=39) group. A regression equation was computed and assessed through several error measures, and the Bland and Altman method. There was no systematic bias in the validation group nor in the cross-validation group (P > 0.1). The root mean sum of squared errors (RMSE), and the percentage error were 6.5 ml/kg/min, and 13.9%, respectively. These figures were very similar in the cross-validation group. The new equation had a lower RMSE and percentage error than the Fernhall's Equation (6.2 vs. 19.7 ml/kg/min, and 16% vs. 50.4%, respectively, P<0.001). The Fernhall's equation showed a significant underestimation of VO2peak (18.1 ml/kg/min, P<0.001). In conclusion, the new regression equation is valid for estimating VO2peak from the 1/2MRW time, sex, and body mass index in healthy children aged 6-17 years, and is more accurate than Fernhall's equation in the sample studied.

neurological outcome scale for traumatic brain injury iii Criterion Related Validity and sensitivity to change in the nabis hypothermia ii clinical trial
Journal of Neurotrauma, 2013Co-Authors: Stephen R Mccauley, Elisabeth A Wilde, Paolo Moretti, Marianne Macleod, Claudia Pedroza, Pamala Drever, Sierra Fourwinds, Melisa L FrisbyAbstract:Abstract The Neurological Outcome Scale for Traumatic Brain Injury (NOS-TBI) is a measure assessing neurological functioning in patients with TBI. We hypothesized that the NOS-TBI would exhibit adequate concurrent and predictive Validity and demonstrate more sensitivity to change, compared with other well-established outcome measures. We analyzed data from the National Acute Brain Injury Study: Hypothermia-II clinical trial. Participants were 16–45 years of age with severe TBI assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury. For analysis of Criterion-Related Validity (concurrent and predictive), Spearman's rank-order correlations were calculated between the NOS-TBI and the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), GOS-Extended (GOS-E), Disability Rating Scale (DRS), and Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised (NRS-R). Concurrent Validity was demonstrated through significant correlations between the NOS-TBI and GOS, GOS-E, DRS, and NRS-R measured contemporaneously at 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury (all p<0.0013).
