大量证据表明，青少年体能水平是生活方式和心脏代谢健康状况的重要标志，可以预测未来患慢性病的风险。尚未在拉丁美洲青年群体中探索可靠性体能测试。本研究的目的是检验哥伦比亚健康促进“Fuprecol 研究”中使用的与健康相关的体能测试的可靠性。参与者为 229 名年龄在 9 岁至 17.9 岁之间的哥伦比亚青少年（男孩 124 名，女孩 105 名）。测量与健康相关的身体素质的五个组成部分：1）形态组成部分：身高、体重、体重指数（BMI）、腰围、三头肌皮褶、肩胛下皮褶和通过阻抗测量的体脂（%）； 2）肌肉骨骼部分：握力和立定跳远测试； 3）运动部分：速度/敏捷性测试（4x10米往返跑）； 4）灵活性部分（腘绳肌和腰椎的伸展性、坐姿前屈测试）； 5）心肺部分：20米往返跑测试（SRT）以估计最大耗氧量。这些测试在一周的同一天进行两次，间隔 1 周，但 SRT 只进行一次。观察者内部的技术测量误差（TEM）和评估者之间的技术误差（可靠性）在形态学部分进行了评估。使用 Bland-Altman 测试检查肌肉骨骼、运动和心肺健康成分的可靠性。对于形态学成分，TEM 较小，所有病例的可靠性大于 95%。对于肌肉骨骼、运动、灵活性和心肺组件，我们在系统误差（偏差）和随机误差（95% 的一致性限度）方面发现了足够的可靠性模式。当进行两次体能评估时，除坐姿和伸展外，所有测试的系统误差几乎为 0（平均差：-1.03% [95% CI = -4.35% 至 -2.28%]。这项研究的结果表明，由体育教师管理的“Fuprecol 研究”健康相关体能电池对于测量哥伦比亚学校环境中 9-17.9 岁儿童和青少年与健康相关的体能组成部分是可靠的。
Substantial evidence indicates that youth physical fitness levels are an important marker of lifestyle and cardio-metabolic health profiles and predict future risk of chronic diseases. The reliability physical fitness tests have not been explored in Latino-American youth population. This study’s aim was to examine the reliability of health-related physical fitness tests that were used in the Colombian health promotion “Fuprecol study”. Participants were 229 Colombian youth (boys n = 124 and girls n = 105) aged 9 to 17.9 years old. Five components of health-related physical fitness were measured: 1) morphological component: height, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, triceps skinfold, subscapular skinfold, and body fat (%) via impedance; 2) musculoskeletal component: handgrip and standing long jump test; 3) motor component: speed/agility test (4x10 m shuttle run); 4) flexibility component (hamstring and lumbar extensibility, sit-and-reach test); 5) cardiorespiratory component: 20-meter shuttle-run test (SRT) to estimate maximal oxygen consumption. The tests were performed two times, 1 week apart on the same day of the week, except for the SRT which was performed only once. Intra-observer technical errors of measurement (TEMs) and inter-rater (reliability) were assessed in the morphological component. Reliability for the Musculoskeletal, motor and cardiorespiratory fitness components was examined using Bland–Altman tests. For the morphological component, TEMs were small and reliability was greater than 95% of all cases. For the musculoskeletal, motor, flexibility and cardiorespiratory components, we found adequate reliability patterns in terms of systematic errors (bias) and random error (95% limits of agreement). When the fitness assessments were performed twice, the systematic error was nearly 0 for all tests, except for the sit and reach (mean difference: -1.03% [95% CI = -4.35% to -2.28%]. The results from this study indicate that the “Fuprecol study” health-related physical fitness battery, administered by physical education teachers, was reliable for measuring health-related components of fitness in children and adolescents aged 9–17.9 years old in a school setting in Colombia.
