A systematic review protocol investigating tests for physical or physiological qualities and game-specific skills commonly used in rugby and related sports and their psychometric properties

Discussion < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > Choosing an appropriate test to be included in the screening test battery should be based on sound psychometric properties of the test available. This systematic review will provide an overview of the tests commonly used in rugby union and other related high intermittent team sports characterised by skill executions using the hands and legs such as Rugby League and Australian Rules Football. In addition, the review will highlight the psychometric properties of the identified tests. This information is crucial in developing a sport-specific test battery which can be used for talent identification, especially among young adolescent players, and injury prevention programmes. < /p > < /span > < span class= " a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec4 " > < h3 class= " a-plus-plus " > Systematic review registration < /h3 > < p class= " a-plus-plus " > PROSPERO < a href= " http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/display_record.asp?ID=CRD42015029747 " class= " a-plus-plus " > CRD42015029747 < /a > < /p > < /span >
