Population

59 youth sport athletes, mean age 17.3 ± 0.7 years

Intervention

Fitness testing battery including isometric mid-thigh pull, counter-movement jump, 5-40 m sprint splits, and 5-0-5 change of direction test performed on two occasions separated by 7 days

Outcome

Between-day reliability (typical error) and usefulness (comparing reliability to smallest worthwhile change)

The fitness testing battery demonstrated acceptable to good between-day reliability in youth sport athletes, though usefulness varied by test.
