Objective of the study was to offer a sport-specific locomotor system functionality test procedure (`protocol`). Methods and structure of the study. The locomotor system functionality test standard was designed and tested using the BTS Motion System (made by BTS Bioengineering, Italy) equipped with three SMART-DX infrared cameras and two video-cameras, wireless BTS FREEEMG 1000 dynamic electromiographic test unit, and two 60x40cm floor tensodymanometric platforms. Results and conclusions. The repeated locomotor system functionality jump test procedure using the BTS Motion System yields the following test rates: fatigue index, maximal push-off strength, maximal jump power, height and total jumps in every of the 15-second Tests 1-4; and EMG bioelectric test rates. The locomotor system functionality jump test procedure may be used for stress tests in the strength- and speed-strength-intensive sport disciplines. The locomotor system functionality Bosco jump test procedure was found gender-specific for athletics in the following aspects: male athletes were tested higher on the higher maximal push-off strength and maximum jump height in Tests 3, lower fatigue indices, higher jump heights and higher frequencies. Tested highest on the speed-strength endurance scale were fencers and track and field athletes, followed by football players and martial artists, whilst the crossfit athletes and volleyball players were tested lowest on this scale.Sportartspezifische Funktionstests und -analysen des Bewegungsapparate biomechanics, stress testing, video analysis, tensodymanometry, athletes, locomotor system functionality.
