Abstract	INTRODUCTION Several activities, both individuals and team sports are characterized by repeating some specific sports movements as explosive as possible, or repeated efforts during the entire match. This kind of ability has been defined as repeated sprint ability (RSA), and it is defined by efforts lasting lest than 10 second, with a maximal or near-maximal intensity, and incomplete rest intervals. In addition, some authors have shown that the RSA can determinate the match result (Girard, Mendez-Villanueva y Bishop, 2011), that is why it is necessary to evaluate this ability. The main problem posed by several of test used in these studies is the lack of relationship between the chosen RSA test and the specific sport demands. This problem appears in sports like tennis, where decelerations and change of directions are common, but most of the tests used in the literature are lineal. Those tests usually consist of 6-15 repetitions of 30-40m with 25 sec rest (Chaouachi et al, 2010). In this study, a specific test for tennis players has been designed with changes of directions and a work-rest ratio similar to tennis´requirements. Aiming to give validity to the tests, several studies have used the category/ranking as a construct (Wilkinson, McCord y M. Winter, 2010), but the problem is that in those studies the authors compared between groups of level with high differences (generally sport sciences students and elite players). Regarding the reliability, the most used parameter has been the intraclass coefficient correlation (ICC) or the coefficient of variation (CV) (Glaister, Howatson, R. Pattison y McInnes, 2008). Therefore, the aim of our study was to provide the validity (a construct that explains the RSA) and reliability of a specific test of RSA.
