Schnitzler, C, Heck, G, Chatard, JC, and Ernwein, V. A simple field test to assess endurance in inexperienced runners. J Strength Cond Res 24(8): 2026-2031, 2010-The accuracy of a simple field test, the 3-minute, 30-second endurance capacity test (3'30 '' ECT), was evaluated in 12 moderately trained athletes. It consisted of 10 3-minute running bouts, separated by 30-second passive recoveries. The first 5 bouts were performed at 75% of maximal aerobic speed (MAS, which was previously determined), and the last 5 were at a self-selected speed. The result of this test is a speed called V(end), expressed in km.h(-1) and calculated as the mean speed for the last 5 bouts. The critical velocity (CV) and the individual anaerobic threshold (IAT) were also determined. Another 17 moderately trained athletes then participated in a test-retest procedure to assess the reproducibility of the 3'30 '' ECT. The results showed that V(end) was correlated with all studied parameters (p < 0.05). V(end) and CV did not differ relative to MAS (V(end): 82.8 +/- 3.3% of MAS; CV 82.5 +/- 6 3.3% of MAS; p > 0.05). The test-retest procedure indicated a coefficient of variation of 1.99 +/- 1.88%. V(end) is thus an interesting indicator because (a) it is based on a noninvasive single-visit protocol, (
