Abstract

An effective evaluation of the practitioner/athlete requires specific tests. The purpose of this study was to analyze and determine which tests meet the criteria necessary for their application in tennis (reliability, validity, and objectivity). An analysis of the tests that are most commonly used in tennis as encountered in the scientific, specific literature was done based on the following criteria: test protocol, coefficients of objectivity, reliability, validity, standard reference values, usefulness, relevance of the test, as well as economy and resources of the test. The sample consisted of 49 tests obtained from database searches in: Sport Discus, ISI Web of Knowledge, Pub Med, Ovid, Rebium, Dialnet, Amazon, and Google Books. The results show that the general tests are better for assessment than the specific tests, as there are few values of reference for performance levels of sport, and the tests that are most useful in turn have lower values of economy and need for resources. Specific tests in tennis have low overall values. This, along with their low number, seems to indicate the need for designing and validating specific tests for tennis, as well as to continue working on criteria for quality in existing tests. These results provide information about the characteristics of the physical tests that are utilized in tennis, which can help coaches and other professionals choose the tests to use with their athletes
