Six-minute rowing test: a valid and reliable method for assessing power output in amateur male rowers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Standardized tests are currently available to assess power output in elite rowers. However, there are no valid and reliable tests to assess power output in amateur rowers.

Objective

This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of a 6-min rowing ergometer test (6-min_RT) as a predictor of power output (PO) in amateur male rowers.

Methods

Twelve male amateur rowers were part of the study. All participants were instructed to perform an incremental test (IT), a 6-min_RT test, and a retest. The validity of the 6-min_RT was determined by comparing maximum oxygen uptake (VO_2max) and power output (PO) between the IT and 6-min_RT. Reliability included the coefficient of variation (CV), intra-class corr
