Abstract
<p>Objective: The aim of this study was to (1) review the research on physical fitness tests conducted as a field test for amputee soccer players, (2) organize measurement items and methods of physical fitness tests adapted to amputee soccer outfield players based on previous studies.</p><p>Methods: The following key words were used to identify proper articles: amputee soccer/football, lower limb amputation, amputee’s physical fitness, amputee’s field-based fitness test, and amputee’s fitness-test battery. A comprehensive search was conducted until November 2019 using electronic databases (MEDLINE, SPORTdiscus, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar).</p><p>Results: The original search netted 29 studies and after the removal of duplicates and screening, 17 studies remained. Based on previous studies, the following measurement items were selected as physical fitness tests adapted to amputee soccer outfield players and the measurement methods were organized. Anthropometric measurements included body height, body weight, and body composition. Muscular performance included balance, flexibility, muscular endurance and muscular strength. Anaerobic performance included sprint, agility, and jump. Several studies have evaluated the aerobic performance of outfield players by using aerobic tests developed for healthy individuals; however, the test has not been standardized.</p><p>Conclusion: This pilot study reviewed and organized the physical fitness tests of amputee soccer players.</p>
