Introduction: Although numerous tests have been used for anaerobic power and endurance assessment in basketball, questions arise
regarding their movement and metabolic specificity (Ben Abdelkrim et al., 2007). The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the
single-trial form of the Line Drill Tet (SLDT) by measuring its concurrent validity, reliability, and sensitivity not only on the basis of performance
output but also on blood lactate concentration following testing.
Methods: Twenty-four volunteers were assigned to either a control (C, N=12) or an experimental (BP, N=12 basketball players) group.
Following familiarization, participants performed the SLDT, WAnT, and VJT in a random order to determine concurrent validity of SLDT.
Subjects had their mean (MP) and peak power (PP) in the Wingate test (WAnT), mean height and MP in the 30-sec vertical jump test (VJT),
and time-to-complete the SLDT measured. Blood lactate concentration was measured at rest and immediately after each test. Test-retest
reliability was determined by computing the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) on time and blood. SLDT’s sensitivity was determined
by one-way ANOVA between the two groups
Results: Kendall’s tau correlation analysis revealed significant (P
