However, the influence of biological maturity on test reliability remains unclear, particularly in prepubertal players whose motor coordination is still developing. This study examined the test\u2013retest reliability of dominant-limb abduction, adduction, and anterior and posterior chain tests in elite youth football players, and compared reliability across maturity stages and movement types.\n \n Methods<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n :<\/jats:italic>\n Seventy academy players were divided into 3 groups: 24 prepubertal, 18 pubertal, and 28 postpubertal. Following at least 2 familiarization sessions, players performed 5 maximal isometric strength tests on 2 occasions 1 week apart. The coefficient of variation (CV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated for each test, and statistical comparisons between maturity groups were performed using the Modified Signed-Likelihood Ratio Test (for CVs) and Fisher\n Z<\/jats:italic>\n transformation (for ICCs).\n \n Results<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n :<\/jats:italic>\n Most tests demonstrated good to excellent reliability across all maturity levels (CV\u2009<\u200910%, ICC\u2009>\u2009.90). However, postpubertal players exhibited significantly lower CVs and higher ICCs than prepubertal players in several tests, particularly for polyarticular standing posterior chain movements (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05). No significant differences were observed between prepubertal and pubertal players.\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n <\/jats:bold>\n :<\/jats:italic>\n These results indicate that test reliability improves with biological maturity, likely due to enhanced motor coordination and movement control. Consequently, the reliability of lower-limb strength assessments is not interchangeable between maturity categories, and results should be interpreted with caution when used for talent identification or long-term player monitoring in elite youth football players.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2025-0250","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,24]],"date-time":"2026-02-24T06:27:41Z","timestamp":1771914461000},"page":"581-589","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Reliability of Lower-Limb Strength Tests According to Maturity Status in Young Male Elite Football Players"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-3197-6462","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Maxime","family":"Violin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"AME2P, EA 3533, Clermont-Auvergne University, Clermont-Ferrand, France"},{"name":"Toulouse Football Club, Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0279-9130","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Abd-Elbasset","family":"Aba\u00efdia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UR UPJV 3300 APERE Adaptations Physiologiques \u00e0 l\u2019Exercice et R\u00e9adaptation \u00e0 l\u2019Effort, Universit\u00e9 de Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-4741-7017","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Benjamin","family":"Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toulouse Football Club, Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6308-0739","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Guillaume","family":"Rav\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Toulouse Football Club, Toulouse, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1664-1614","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Anthony J.","family":"Blazevich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Precision Health, School of Medical and Health Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2471-158X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"S\u00e9bastien","family":"Ratel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AME2P, EA 3533, Clermont-Auvergne University, Clermont-Ferrand, France"},{"name":"UFR STAPS - Laboratoire AME2P, Universit\u00e9 Clermont Auvergne, Aubi\u00e8re, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"r1","series-title":"J Sports Sci","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"669","DOI":"10.1080\/02640410050120050","article-title":"Anthropometric and physiological predispositions for elite soccer","volume":"18","author":"Reilly T","year":"2000","unstructured":"Reilly T, Bangsbo J, Franks A.
