3-min All-out Test to Evaluate Aerobic and Anaerobic Indexes in Court Team Sports
This study aimed to test the reproducibility of the 3-min all-out effort applied
using shuttle running and compare its values to aerobic parameters. On the first
day, 14 futsal players underwent an exhaustive test to determine the maximal
incremental speed (MIS) and anaerobic threshold (AnT). On the second day, the
participants performed the 3-min all-out effort (n=14), which was
repeated after 48 h (third day) to test its reproducibility
(n=11). Peak oxygen consumption (V̇ O2PEAK) and peak
blood lactate concentrations ([La-]) were determined from 3-min all-out efforts
performed through a 20-m shuttle run on the official court. The distance
covered, mean speed, and critical speed (CS) during the 3-min all-out presented
direct relationships with aerobic parameters determined through the incremental
test (r>0.62). The distance covered above CS (D’) presented a
direct relationship with peak lactate concentrations induced by a 3-min all-out
effort (r=0.81). Despite the acceptable levels of reproducibility
observed for most of the 3-min all-out variables, the minimal detectable change
for D’ was high (72%). Our results demonstrated the potential
use of mean speed to evaluate aerobic fitness. However, the applicability of the
3-min all-out shuttle run test to monitor training adaptations should be
