A comparison of field and laboratory testing of sports specific fitness for female field hockey playersKusnanik, Nining Widyah, n/a January 2001 (has links)
There are many methods to measure the physical fitness of athletes, including tests
that can be applied in the field or in the laboratory. Much of the recent research with
regard to fitness of team sport players has been undertaken using laboratory testing to
measure aerobic power, anaerobic power and capacity, strength and flexibility. Field
tests are an alternative method to measure the fitness of players without the expense,
time and expertise required for the laboratory testing, especially in developing
countries.
The purpose of this study is to establish procedures for the application of
contemporary sports science practice for Indonesian female field hockey players,
including determination of the precision of field tests of the physical and performance
characteristics of field hockey players in Indonesia; determination of the physical and
performance characteristics of Indonesian female field hockey players; identification
of the performance demands and distance covered during competitive field hockey at
the national level in Indonesia; comparison of the physical and performance
characteristics of national level female field hockey players in Indonesia with those of
club level players in Australia; and determination of the relationships between field
and laboratory tests of physiological performance capacity for field hockey.

In conclusion, the present study found that the Indonesian female field hockey players
(at the national level) were comparable to the Australian female field hockey players
(at the club level) in some physical and performance test results. However, they were
also different on other physical and performance characteristic measurements, with
the Indonesian players generally have lower values, for other performance
measurements.
