尽管研究支持与健康相关的身体素质(HRPF)测试在典型的儿童和青少年中的可行性和可靠性,对于听力障碍(HI)患者,这些测试的可行性和可靠性知之甚少。这项研究的目的是评估HRPF测试电池对HI儿童和青少年的可行性和可靠性。对26名HI参与者(平均年龄:12.7±2.8岁;9名男性)进行了为期一周的重测设计。七个基于现场的HRPF测试的可行性和可靠性(即,身体质量指数,握力,站立跳远,肺活量,长跑,坐下来,一条腿站立)进行了评估。所有测试显示高可行性(完成率>90%)。六项测试表明良好至出色的重测可靠性(所有组内相关系数[ICC]>0.75),而一条腿站立测试表明可靠性较差(ICC=0.36)。在静达测试中观察到相对较大的测量标准误差百分比(SEM%)和最小的可检测变化(MDC%)(SEM%=52.4%,MDC%=145.2%)和单腿支架试验(SEM%=107.9%,MDC%=299.2%),而其余测试显示合理的SEM%和MDC%值。总的来说,大多数测试可以可行且可靠地用于评估HI儿童和青少年的HRPF。
Although research supports the feasibility and reliability of health-related physical fitness (HRPF) tests in typically developing children and adolescents, little is known regarding the feasibility and reliability of these tests for those with hearing impairments (HI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and reliability of a HRPF test battery for children and adolescents with HI. A test-retest design with a one-week interval was conducted with 26 participants with HI (mean age: 12.7 ± 2.8 years; 9 male). The feasibility and reliability of seven field-based HRPF tests (i.e., body mass index, grip strength, standing long jump, vital capacity, long distance run, sit-and-reach, one leg stand) were evaluated. All the tests showed high feasibility (completion rate > 90%). Six tests indicated good to excellent test-retest reliability (all intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] > 0.75) while the one leg stand test showed poor reliability (ICC = 0.36). Relatively large percentages of standard error of measurement (SEM%) and minimal detectable change (MDC%) were observed in the sit-and-reach test (SEM% = 52.4%, MDC% = 145.2%) and one leg stand test (SEM% = 107.9%, MDC% = 299.2%), whereas the rest of the tests demonstrated reasonable SEM% and MDC% values. Collectively, most of the tests can be feasibly and reliably used to assess HRPF for children and adolescents with HI.
