These tests provide useful data on an athlete&#8217;s ability to maintain balance in dynamic and unforeseen circumstances, allowing for a more detailed assessment of their athletic performance. We have designed a novel balance test and tested main quality criteria and competitiveness for it. A total of 117 children (girls = 52.1%) aged 10.4 years participated in the tests. The raw ABC scores show good to excellent test-retest reliability for all participants. Girls show a higher reliability (excellent) than boys (moderate to good). The comparison of raw data of the performance in the ABC and existing balance field tests shows strong correlation of the results. The test duration of the ABC is significantly (p&lt;.001) shorter than that of existing balance field tests. The statistical and graphical analysis of the calculation of the normal distribution shows that the results of the ABC are closer to the normal distribution than those of the existing balance field tests. The combination of high reliability and competitiveness makes the Austrian Balance Check an extremely attractive option for various areas of application. Overall, the novel designed test is a promising instrument that has the potential to significantly improve the standards of balance testing procedures in the field. The authors recommend a large-scale study to review the test quality criteria of the ABC, including gold standard comparison and development of age- and gender-specific reference values, in order to increase interest in implementing the Austrian Balance Check in international test batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zusammenfassung:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gleichgewichtstests in der Praxis liefern wichtige Informationen \u00fcber die k\u00f6rperliche Fitness und das Verletzungsrisiko von Sportlern. Diese Tests liefern n\u00fctzliche Daten \u00fcber die F\u00e4higkeit eines Sportlers, unter dynamischen und unvorhergesehenen Umst\u00e4nden das Gleichgewicht zu halten, und erm\u00f6glichen eine genauere Bewertung seiner sportlichen Leistung. Wir haben einen neuartigen Gleichgewichtstest entwickelt und die wichtigsten Qualit\u00e4tskriterien und die Wettbewerbsf\u00e4higkeit dieses Tests getestet. Insgesamt nahmen 117 Kinder (M\u00e4dchen = 52,1 %) im Alter von 10,4 Jahren an den Tests teil. Die ABC-Rohwerte zeigen eine gute bis ausgezeichnete Test-Retest-Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit f\u00fcr alle Teilnehmer. M\u00e4dchen zeigen eine h\u00f6here Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit (ausgezeichnet) als Jungen (m\u00e4\u00dfig bis gut). Der Vergleich der Rohdaten der Leistungen im ABC und in bestehenden Gleichgewichtsfeldtests zeigt eine starke Korrelation der Ergebnisse. Die Testdauer des ABC ist signifikant (p&lt;.001) k\u00fcrzer als die der bestehenden Gleichgewichtsfeldtests. Die statistische und grafische Analyse der Berechnung der Normalverteilung zeigt, dass die Ergebnisse des ABCs n\u00e4her an der Normalverteilung liegen als die der bestehenden Waagenfeldtests. Die Kombination aus hoher Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit und Wettbewerbsf\u00e4higkeit macht den Austrian Balance Check zu einer \u00e4u\u00dferst attraktiven Option f\u00fcr verschiedene Anwendungsbereiche. Insgesamt ist der neu konzipierte Test ein vielversprechendes Instrument, das das Potenzial hat, die Standards von Gleichgewichtstestverfahren in der Praxis deutlich zu verbessern. Die Autoren empfehlen eine gro\u00df angelegte Studie zur \u00dcberpr\u00fcfung der Testg\u00fctekriterien des ABC, inklusive Goldstandardvergleich und Entwicklung alters- und geschlechtsspezifischer Referenzwerte, um das Interesse an der Implementierung des Austrian Balance Check in internationale Testbatterien zu erh\u00f6hen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published \/ Publiziert: 13.5.2024 Zuverl\u00e4ssigkeit und Wettbewerbsf\u00e4higkeit eines neuartigen Gleichgewichtsfeldtests: Eine querschnittliche Pilotstudie LINK to the open access publication \/ LINK to the open access publication \/ LINK zur vollst\u00e4ndigen Publikation: https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2024.05.11.24307223v1 Abstract: Balancing tests in the field provide important information about the physical fitness and injury risk of athletes.
