Correlation between maximum power measured by the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test and Vertical Jump Countermovement in football players
Objective: To correlate the maximum powers (PMáx) derived from the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) and Vertical Jump Countermovement (CMJ) in adult football athletes. Materials and methods: Forty-seven professional football players (25.5 ± 4.4 years, 79.4 ± 7.8 kg, and 180.0 ± 6.0 cm) par...

| Summary: | Objective: To correlate the maximum powers (PMáx) derived from the Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST) and Vertical Jump Countermovement (CMJ) in adult football athletes. Materials and methods: Forty-seven professional football players (25.5 ± 4.4 years, 79.4 ± 7.8 kg, and 180.0 ± 6.0 cm) participated in this study. The RAST consisted of six races with maximum speed and an interval of 10 seconds between them, and the time was obtained through photocells. The CMJ was held on a contact mat. The tests were performed at two distinct moments, separated by a 48h interval, and after a five-minute warm-up. Pearson's correlation test was used to examine the association between the PMáx obtained by the two physical tests with a statistical significance set at p<0.05. Results: The PMáx obtained by the RAST and CMJ tests were 715.2 ± 99.7 W and 3 786.3 W, respectively. The correlation between the powers derived from the two tests was considered very strong (r=0.70, p<0.0001). Conclusions: The CMJ test can be an alternative test to measure the PMáx produced by the RAST test in adult football athletes. |
