Breath-hold diving is explained as an activity that requires enduring muscle asphyxia and acidosis, high anaerobic capacity, and the tactic of the dive. Therefore, this study aimed to construct and validate tests that will mimic anaerobic processes in the specific media of freedivers. The sample of participants included 34 Croatian freedivers (average age: 26.85 ± 4.0 years, competitive age: 3.82 ± 1.92 years, their body height: 180.14 ± 8.93 cm, and their body mass: 76.82 ± 12.41 kg). The sample of variables consists of anthropometric indices, competitive efficiency (maximal length of a dive (DYN)), and specific anaerobic capacities (100 m and 2 min tests). Newly developed tests included the swimming anaerobic sprint test (SAST) and diving anaerobic sprint test (DAST). DAST and SAST variables included the total time of the test (DAST/SAST) and the fastest interval (DAST max /SAST max ). The results showed good reliability of the tests with high Cronbach alpha coefficients (DAST: 0.98, DAST max : 0.97, SAST: 0.99, SAST max : 0.91). Furthermore, pragmatic validity shows a high correlation among all variables and DAST (DYN: -0.70, 100 m: 0.66, 2 min: -0.68). High relation is also found between 100 m (0.96), 2 min (-0.94), and a moderate result for DYN (-0.43) and the SAST test. A factor analysis extracted one significant factor. The factor analysis involved DAST, SAST, DYN, 100 m, and 2 min tests regarding factor 1. After the examination of all variables, the total time of the DAST test showed the best predictive values for the performance of divers. However, both tests could be used for diagnostics and the evaluation of specific condition abilities in freediving. |
