Resumo:The Armed Forces constantly fight to keep their troops in a position to act when required, which can be expressed by the concept of combat readiness. In this sense, it is essential to structure good physical training programs and specific assessments, which together can contribute to the adequate preparedness of soldiers to perform their specific tasks. The literature presents scattered information regarding the development and validation of physical tests for tactical athletes, considering that it is a largely subjective process, which is why it is necessary to know the best practices and fundamental requirements of each stage, in order to structure a robust methodology. Therefore, the objective of this work was to systematically present the main insights for the development and validation of physical tests for tactical athletes, in addition to presenting a methodology used in a validation that took place among the Brazilian Air Force between the years of 2021 and 2023. Researchers who intend to develop validations of physical tests for tactical athletes, or even individuals from civilian institutions whose work involves high physical demands, can use this information as support material for their work.
