Objectives: This systematic review aimed to (a) summarize the criterion validity and reliability of technical and tacticalįield-based tests applied in soccer and (b) list valid and reliable technical and tactical field-based tests. Although most such tests areĭesigned to assess physical fitness, tactical and technical dimensions are also determinants in a full battery of tests. īackground: Field-based tests are important since they can guarantee ecological validity.
