Abstract

The purpose of this article was to design and validate three field tests, of aerobic power and speed in 9 and 10-year-old swimmers, a probabilistic, stratified random sampling was performed with a final sample of 77 athletes. For the validation process, the tests of: aerobic power of 1000 meters and speed test of 50 and 20 meters (Jauregui and Ordoñez, 1993) were taken as Gold Standard, compared to the proposed tests: 300 meters in freestyle with open lap, exit from nailed floor, and Speed 25 meters free with nailed exit and 10 meters thrown; To establish intra-reliability, the test re test (TRT) procedure was performed. Results: The Shapiro - Wilk test was applied for the determination of normality, in the inter-instrument correlations (ICC) in the speed tests the values were acceptable (0.569) and very good (0.904), in the aerobic power test they were good (0.725 - 0.818); in intra-instrument comparisons (ICC) in speed the values fluctuated between acceptable (0.618) and very good (0.982), in aerobic power it was generally good (0.725 - 0.818). Finally, a percentile scale is proposed that allows you to assess the capabilities addressed.
