Abstract
[b]Introduction[/b]. A proper control of coordination motor abilities (CMA) requires adequate research tools. These include the tests belonging to the Vienna Test System (VTS). As far as the literature of combat sports is concerned, it is noticeable that, particularly in the case of wrestling, there are not enough data concerning the measurement of CMA with the use of computer tests, e.g. according to VTS.[b]The aim of the work[/b]. Therefore, the aim of my work was to evaluate selected reliability criteria of computer tests included in VTS and used in wrestling.[b]Material and methods[/b]. Students from the sports school SMS in Radom who practice Greco-Roman wrestling took part in the examination (n = 15). The reliability of applied tests was evaluated on the basis of two criteria, i.e. accuracy and diagnostic informativeness. The research was conducted on the basis of VTS. Twenty-one indexes were subjected to the analysis. These indexes characterize 5 CMA, i.e. speed of reaction, including simple reaction (RT version S1) and complex reaction (DT version S1), as well as space orientation (SIGNAL version S2), movement combining (2HAND version S2 and MLS version S1), motor adjustment and movement frequency. They were evaluated by means of various indexes of MLS test (version S1).[b]Results[/b]. On the basis of the research conducted it was borne out that all of the analyzed indexes were characterized by sufficient accuracy coefficients. The tests evaluating speed of reaction, space orientation, movement combining, movement frequency and motor adjustment met the assumed criterion. As for the coefficients of diagnostic informativeness, in most cases they were not lower than 0.3. Here the indexes measuring movement combining, complex reaction, space orientation and motor adjustment turned out to be the most accurate, whereas in the case of simple reaction and movement frequency the were the least accurate.[b]Conclusions[/b]. The obtained coefficients of accuracy and diagnostic informativeness in the analyzed indexes prove the usefulness of the tests in the diagnosis of CMA in wrestlers as they meet the requirements of sports metrology.
