20.500.12556/RUL-145334 Evaluation of the limb symmetry index the side hop test The main objective of present study was to evaluate inter-rater reliability and concurrent validity of Side Hop Test stopwatch vs. force plates timing, and to determine the number of sessions and trials required to minimize the effects of learning on Side Hop Test total time and limb symmetry index. Fifteen healthy male physical education students (mean ± SD: age, 23 ± 3 years; height, 181 ± 9 cm; and weight 72 ± 6 kg) participated. Side Hop Test total time (stopwatch and force plates) of left and right leg, and limb symmetry index (force plates) were obtained over seven sessions conducted 5–7 days apart. Time recordings of two raters were similar (t = −0.56, p > 0.05) with high reliability (all ICC >0.99 and CV% <0.1) and no systematic bias when compared to force plate data (p > 0.05; for rater 1 and 2, respectively). Total time improved across the Sessions (F = 25.87, p < 0.01, ω$^2$ = 0.18) and Trials (F = 68.15, p < 0.01, ω$^2$ = 0.10), with no significant interaction between factors. No between-leg differences were detected (F = 0.52, p > 0.05, ω$^2$ = 0.001). Limb symmetry index ranged from 0.999 to 1.055 across all sessions and trials (all p > 0.05 and ω$^2$ < 0.00). Due to low coefficient of correlation, high interclass correlation coefficient, and the lack in heteroscedasticity, stopwatch measurements are valid to measure total time in the Side Hop Test. Moreover, stopwatch measurements could be reliably used to measure total time in the Side Hop Test, while the test could be administrated with only one experienced rater. Unlike total times, findings on limb symmetry index suggest it could be reliably assessed after seven familiarization sessions. sport side hop test reliability concurrent validity limb symmetry index stopwatch šport test stranskega skoka zanesljivost veljavnost indeks simetrije okončin štoparica true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-04-18 10:29:37 2023-04-18 10:29:37 2023-04-19 03:29:47 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 8 str. art. 874632 Vol. 13 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 796.01 1664-042X 10.3389/fphys.2022.874632 112358915 fphys-13-874632.pdf fphys-13-874632.pdf 1 D4373F9DB158600A0D14D2E4A126DFC5 6cf83ffffb1a66416b255253544624a09fe3770c780aa418b61140c52af97b20 596b21ca-ddc3-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=168178 https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2022.874632/full 1 fe48fe95-ddc2-11ed-a314-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=168177 Fakulteta za šport 0 0 0
