Establishing the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the repeat ice skating test in adolescent boys ice hockey players

Abstract

This study examined the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the Repeat Ice Skating Test (RIST). This was an on-ice field anaerobic test that measured average peak power. It was validated with 3 anaerobic lab tests: Vertical Jump, Margaria-Kalamen Stair test, and the Wingate cycle ergometer test. The study's subjects were 14 males aged 11-12 on a Peewee "A" level ice hockey team in the Thunder Bay area.
