Aim: To assess the reproducibility and relevancy of the tests that composed the Diagnoform physical fitness estimation procedure. Methods and results: We studied 183 subjects twice, who were divided into groups of age and physical activity intensity. Correlations between both sessions have been calculated. Reproducibilities are good to very good. Some correlation coefficients show strong relationships between tests involving muscular power suggesting a possible redundancy in the assessment of this capacity. Conclusion: Diagnoform is an efficient tool to assess the level of physical fitness in populations.
