Abstract

Most coaches will use 20-m multistage fitness test to determine cardiovascular level in rugby players. Yo-Yo intermittent fitness test also can measure the cardiovascular fitness level among athlete, but lack of study showed which test should be specified implemented to rugby player. The objective of this study is to determine whether the result of the cardiovascular fitness level of 20-m multistage fitness test has a relationship with the Yo-Yo intermittent fitness test among rugby players. A sample of 60 rugby players was purposively sampling from rugby player. The result of this test will be analyzed by Pearson’s product moment coefficient correlation using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 21. The descriptive result showed that mean (SD) 20-m multistage fitness test [33.31 (5.92)] was lower compared to Yo-Yo intermittent test [47.48 (1.06)]. There was positive strong relationship between 20-m multistage fitness test and Yo-Yo intermittent fitness test [p < 0.001, r = 0.652]. The study showed that there is relationship between 20-m multistage fitness test and Yo-Yo intermittent test.
