Abstract

This study examined the validity and reliability of Soccer Specific Modified 1,5 Mile Run Test which is
developed for present research and applied in soccer field. Forty-eight male athletes were participated in the study
(32 soccer, 5 basketball, 4 volleyball and 7 handball players). Participants
visit the laboratory once. Height, weight, body fat percentage and maximal
oxygen uptake were measured during laboratory session. In the field, Soccer
Specific Modified 1,5 Mile Run Test is performed two times with 2-7 days apart. Soccer players completed the field test in a shorter
time, significantly (p<0,001). There is a significant, strong and positive
correlations between maximal oxygen uptake and completion time Soccer Specific
Modified 1,5 Mile Run test (r=0,83). There is a significant, strong and
positive correlations between two field test both groups (r=0,91; r=0,87
respectively). The Soccer Specific Modified 1,5 Mile Run Test is a
valid test for soccer player specifically and also a reliable test for both
groups.
