Abstract
The research conducted was focused on the MSFT (multi stage fitness test)
...
The participants who took part in
the experiment were all college students an elite athletes all of which were of 17 to 19 years of age
...
These members of the experiment then conducted a MSFT in two separate groups, one involving all
of the elites and the other for the college students
...
For the multi stage
fitness test the same audio recording was used and also the same type of sporting clothes for the athletes
an also the same pieces of equipment to conduct both fitness tests for the two groups

Introduction

The multi stage fitness test is a valuable test that measures the aerobic capacity and the ability to endure
yet perform at a high intensity for a long duration of time (Léger,1988)
...
Through this test there has been many different researches to test and see how the MSFT can affect the performance or how it can increase the ability of the
athletes and it is used when conducting experiments to see how this can increase the physiological build of
any athlete

Literature Review
There are different researches conducted with the multi stage fitness test such as the ones being how does
the MSFT have an effect on the performance
...
With this research it makes possible the fact an ability to compare the different scores between athletes and help determine a fitness ability of a group
...
There are other researches conducted involving the multi stage fitness test that
prove the ability to involve every athlete are there are researches on disabled athletes these being for example “The multi-stage fitness test as a predictor of endurance fitness in wheelchair athletes” researched
by Goosey and Tolfrey in 2008 demonstrating the ability to determine the aerobic capability of athletes in
wheelchairs
...
Although this is also critiqued as a test as people can say that the data attained for comparing the results can affect the validity and
reliability of the test used for other experiments
...

Through the research in the validity of the test by an article called “The repeatability and criterion related
validity of the 20 m multistage fitness test as a predictor of maximal oxygen uptake in active young men”
examined by Cooper in 2005 shows that the data that was once collected by one researcher and is used to
set the boundaries now for the multi stage fitness test can be applied to most cases of athletes but when it
comes to the ones such as the disabilities or other types of athletes these results can be affected by this
data collection

The method
The way that the research was conducted was by performing the multi stage fitness test
...
Other than this
all that was needed for the test was the participants
...
This therefor meant that the results would be in
favour of being significantly different due to the elites training continuously on their fitness
...
This was
done in a sporting facility on the same day as the athletes were all gathered together to perform the test yet
in different groups because of the validity and reliability importance
...
To mark this out there were cones
on either side of the total distance marking the amount that the athletes had to run in each bleep
...
This in total took over an hour and just under 2 hours this between the
athletes running and the setting up the test
...
After this there was further analysis performed as the test that was used to be able to take a look at the results
was an independent T test as this was used because the results were predicted to go one way (In favour of
the elites) and also to find out if there was a significant difference between the athletes
...


The results
As shown on table 2 above on page 12 the data that was found fulfilled the hypothesis of one
group of athletes being better than the other
...
4 time -10 which showed overall that there was a
significant difference between the tow groups of athletes
...
Then the standard deviation was used to see clearly how well the two groups performed and how close the scores were towards
each other this to ensure that the scores were valid and reliable to compare as some athletes may have performed extremely better than others
...

Discussion and conclusion
After the test and the experiment finished the conclusion that was found is that the elites no matter
where they are located or from what sport they come from they do tend to perform a lot better and college
or school students and these athletes are more dedicated to the fitness industry and staying healthy where
as athletes from college play sports but don't go in to much depth of competitiveness
...
The comparison between the results
and other types of data as shown in the literature review is that there are a different number of athletes being the elites where the same data can be found within the disability sporting environment showing that
these types of athletes are still able to make a better result than college athletes allowing for the community to realise that there is a good chance of getting involved and playing spot at a professional level despite
the physical ability
...
In this case the experiment being focused on athletes of a younger age the
experiment can also be aimed at everyone in the sporting environment as the data for the elite athletes can
still be used to be compared between any sort of athletes weather they are at the beginner stage or they are
at an advanced level and trying to make it to a professional setting
...
This means that some of the
elites who train daily and more than once in a day can have a shortage of time yet also may not want to
perform such maximal exercise therefor this is something to look out for in the future when using many
different athletes of such high level of competition
