AB  - Glassbrook, DJ, Fuller, JT, Wade, JA, and Doyle, TLA. Not all physical 
      performance tests are related to early season match running performance in 
      professional rugby league. J Strength Cond Res 36(7): 1944-1950, 2022-This study 
      aimed to determine which physical tests correlate with early season running 
      performance. Sixteen professional rugby league players performed the 30-15 
      intermittent fitness test (IFT), 1.2-km time trial, 1 repetition maximum (RM) 
      barbell back squat, isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), 
      barbell squat jump (SJ), and ballistic bench press throw (BBP). Bivariate 
      Pearson's correlations and linear regression were used to compare physical tests 
      with peak match running intensities recorded by a portable Global Positioning 
      System and represented by peak match velocity and acceleration, as well as peak 
      1-, 4-, 6-, and 8-minute instantaneous acceleration/deceleration periods of play. 
      Significant (p < 0.05) negative correlations (r = -0.55 to -0.60) were observed 
      between the IFT and relative 1-, 4-, 6-, and 8-minute peaks, and between the 
      relative 1RM back squat and relative 1-, 4-, 6-, and 8-minute peaks. Significant 
      positive correlations (r = 0.52-0.84) were observed between the following 
      physical tests and match performance pairs: IFT and peak acceleration; relative 
      1RM back squat and peak acceleration; SJ peak power (relative and absolute) and 
      peak acceleration; CMJ peak force (relative and absolute) and peak acceleration; 
      CMJ peak power (relative and absolute) and peak acceleration and 1-, 4-, 6-, and 
      8-minute peaks; and relative BBP peak power and peak velocity and peak 
      acceleration. The results of this study highlight that not all generic tests of 
      physical qualities are related to peak match running performance and only those 
      with significant correlations are likely to be able to indicate how players may 
      perform during match-play.
