Health-related physical fitness of adolescents practicing Krav Maga: proposal for a specific test by João Batista de Andrade Neto, Michel Santos Silva, Yan Figueiredo Foresti, Marcelo Papoti

“…The t-test was used for dependent samples, while a multiple linear regression model was used to determine how the physical fitness test explains the variance of the KMCT, with all tests adopting a p-value of <0.05. Results: The results showed that 12 weeks of training improved general (p < 0.05) and specific HRPF (KMCTpre = 18.37 ± 4.00 reps; KMCTpost = 30.54 ± 11.03 reps, p < 0.05), and the KMCT showed moderate-strong correlations (0.42 – 0.72) with HRPF, with these variables explaining 49% of the test. …”
