Gabriel Felipe Arantes Bertochi; Jeffer Eidi Sasaki – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2025
This study compared the weekly training load (TL) variation across different measures. Fifty-two runners reported their heart rate and distance ran for each training session during four weeks of training. Heart rate measures were used to calculate the weekly TRaining IMPulse (W-TRIMP), whereas the distance ran was used to calculate the weekly…

Alt, Tobias; Knicker, Axel J.; Severin, Jannik; Horn, Dennis; Nodler, Yannick T.; Strüder, Heiko K. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Many sports demand high forces at high movement speeds. Joint power combines these two measures and is frequently analyzed by isokinetic tests. However, various concepts of assessing joint power lead to conflicting results. The aim was to examine different methods to calculate peak power during isokinetic knee tests of sixty-one healthy male…

Driller, Matthew; Brophy-Williams, Ned; Walker, Anthony – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
The purpose of the present study was to determine the reliability of a 5km run test on a motorized treadmill. Over three consecutive weeks, 12 well-trained runners completed three 5km time trials on a treadmill following a standardized warm-up. Runners were partially-blinded to their running speed and distance covered. Total time to complete the…

Lombard, Wayne; Reid, Sorrel; Pearson, Keagan; Lambert, Michael – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2017
The counter-movement jump is a consequence of maximal force, rate of force developed, and neuromuscular coordination. Thus, the counter-movement jump has been used to monitor various training adaptations. However, the smallest detectable difference of counter-movement jump metrics has yet to be established. The objective of the present study was…

Simpson, Rhianna Parker; Cronin, John – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2006
Drop jumping has previously been used to measure fast stretch shorten cycle (SSC) ability and stretch load tolerance. To the knowledge of these authors a test does not exist to achieve this in the horizontal direction. The purpose of this study therefore was to estimate the reliability of a new unilateral horizontal leg power test to assess these…

Jensen, Barbara; Considine, William – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2007
The articles published in the "Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science" (MPEES) journal over the first 10 volumes were categorized by content area and methodology. The authors have offered opinions here concerning the changes observed over the 10-year period, the areas that are well-represented, and other potential areas of research…
