Eighteen judokas performed the intermittent judo fitness test consisting of 10 × 30 s maximal interspersed with 15 second rest, the Australian shuttle test, the special judo fitness test and a judo fight. Twenty three judokas performed twice the intermittent judo fitness test on different days.</div> </article> <article> <div class="mb content text-indent"> <h4 class="font-main d-inline font-weight-bold">Results:</h4>  The results showed significant correlations between the biggest number of <em>Uchi-komi</em> during the intermittent judo fitness test (<em>Uchi-komi</em><sup>best</sup>), the longest distance covered during Australian shuttle test and the total projection in the special judo fitness test (P < 0.01). Likewise, a significant relationship was demonstrated between the total <em>Uchi-komi</em> performed in the new judo test (<em>Uchi-komi</em><sup>Tot</sup>) and both the total distance covered during Australian test and the total projection during the special judo fitness test (P < 0.01). In addition, a significant correlation of the rating of perceived exertion was observed between the intermittent judo fitness test and judo fight (P < 0.05). The intra-class correlation coefficient analysis revealed relatively strong test-retest reliability for <em>Uchi-komi</em><sup>best</sup> and <em>Uchi-komi</em><sup>Tot</sup> (> 0.90). The smallest worthwhile change showed that a change of 2 and 4 <em>Uchi-komi</em> in <em>Uchi-komi</em><sup>best</sup> and <em>Uchi-komi</em><sup>Tot</sup> respectively is occurred.</div> </article> <article> <div class="mb content text-indent"> <h4 class="font-main d-inline font-weight-bold">Conclusions:</h4>  The new fitness intermittent judo test is both valid and reliable measurement tool to assess judokas’ fitness at the basic judo movement patterns.</div> </article>
