Abstract
Purpose: To determine the relationship between different evaluation methods of aerobic endurance and the Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) performance, in order to establish an effective method for assessing the aerobic endurance of women football players. Methods: Seven players from the Chinese Taipei women's national football team (age: 21 ± 1 years), who had participated in the 2018 Asian University Football Tournament, were recruited and performed maximal oxygen uptake (VO_2max), 12-min running, 800-m running, 6 × 10-m shuttle running, Yo-Yo intermittent shuttle running (Yo-Yo IR1) and LIST. Participants were given 3 days of rest between tests using the counterbalanced methods. All results among parameters were analyzed by Pearson product-moment correlation. Results: The results showed that: There was a high positive correlation (p < .001) between LIST and 12-min running (r = .983), LIST and Yo-Yo IR1 (r = .978), LIST and VO_2max (r = .942), Yo-Yo IR1 and 12-min running (r = .944), Yo-Yo IR1 and VO_2max (r = .875), VO_2max and 12-min running (r = .933), VO_2max and Yo-Yo IR1 (r = .875), VO_2max and LIST (r = .942), 12-min running and VO_2max (r = .933), 12-min running and Yo-Yo IR1 (r = .944), and 12-min running and LIST (r = -.983), respectively. Conclusion: These results show a significant positive correlation among VO_2max, LIST, 12-min running and Yo-Yo IR1 tests. Considering the particular characteristics of football, the Yo-Yo IR1 and LIST tests are likely to be more suitable for evaluating the specific aerobic intermittent endurance of women football players, while 12-min running seems to be more suitable for evaluating these players' general aerobic endurance.
