Abstract: "Purpose. The aim of this study was to verify the level of association of the Bangsbo Sprint Test (BST) variables with the performance tests of 10 and 30 m linear sprint (T10M and T30M), agility (TAGIL), squat jump and counter movement jump for lower limb power assessment (SJ and CMJ) and specific endurance field test (YYIR2). Method. Twenty-four young soccer players (age: 16.5 ± 0.6 years), who competed in the 1st Division of Paraná State, Brazil, participated of the study. To evaluate the performance in the BST it was used mean time of the seven sprints (TMED-BST-BST), the best time of the seven sprints (TMIN-BST) and the performance decrement (FI). Results. It was found a moderated correlation among TMED-BST-BST with TAGIL and YYIR2 (r = 0.57; r = -0.46, respectively). For TMIN-BST, the correlation was moderated in relation to TAGIL, SJ, CMJ and YYIR2 (r = 0.49, r =-0.41, r = -0.47, r = -0.41, respectively). Moderated correlation was found among FI with T10M and T30M (r = -0.49, r = -0.49, respectively). Conclusion. The BST variables are related to important physical capacities for soccer, such as sprints with change of direction components, lower limb power and specific intermittent endurance. Thus, the BST seems to be a good tool for assessing the repeated sprint ability with changes of direction in young soccer players."
