Logical validation and evaluation of practical feasibility for the SCRuM (School Clinical Rugby Measure) test battery developed for young adolescent rugby players in a resource-constrained environment

There is a growing impetus towards usage of test batteries in talent identification (TID) programmes in rugby. Consequently, there are many test batteries in existence profiling anthropometric, physiological characteristics and rugby-specific skills. There is no consensus in the literature on the constituent variables and corresponding tests required to inform TID programs. Following development of a new test battery called the SCRuM (School Clinical Rugby Measure), this study aimed at establishing face, logical validity and practical feasibility of included tests. The test battery, initially comprised of 23 items, had its face and logical validity evaluated by five (5) adolescent rugby coaches and 20 rugby experts, respectively. Logical validation was conducted in two questionnaire-based rounds with Content Validity Index (I-CVI) calculated for each variable. Subsequently, a cross-sectional study targeting 30 local rugby coaches was conducted to determine the perceived practical feasib...当前，橄榄球人才识别（Talent Identification, TID）项目中采用综合测试组合的趋势愈发显著。目前已有多款用于分析人体测量学特征、生理特性及橄榄球专项技能的综合测试组合问世，但现有相关文献尚未就橄榄球人才识别项目所需的构成变量与对应测试方案达成统一共识。本研究在开发出一款名为SCRuM（School Clinical Rugby Measure，学校临床橄榄球测试组合）的新型综合测试组合后，旨在明确该测试组合所包含项目的表面效度、逻辑效度与实际可行性。这款初始包含23个项目的测试组合，其表面效度与逻辑效度分别由5名青少年橄榄球教练及20名橄榄球专家进行评估。逻辑效度评估采用两轮基于问卷的流程，并为每个变量计算了内容效度指数（Content Validity Index, I-CVI）。随后，本研究针对30名本地橄榄球教练开展了一项横断面研究，以评估其感知到的实际可行...
