As in other sports, so in football there is a need for sport-specific tests that would better describe the specific functional and motor abilities important for success in sport. A review of the scientific literature suggests that in football, explosiveness, endurance and agility are some of these abilities. Therefore, the aim of this master's thesis is to construct and validate a new test to assess functional abilities. The newly constructed test consisted of performing six repetitive sprints in the form of a polygon that included a sprint, sun jumps over a hurdle, and a change of direction. There was a 20-second break between each sprint. Also, the test was performed twice, and the results of the subjects in the test and retest were recorded, and the final result was obtained through three different models of interpretation of the results. For the purposes of determining metric characteristics for each of the following models, the following were determined: Reliability, homogeneity, objectivity and validity. The sample of respondents was represented by students of the Faculty of Kinesiology in Split (n = 14). Methods included the calculation of the correlation coefficient, analysis of variance, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the assessment of normality, and calculations of descriptive statistics skewess, kurtosis, arithmetic mean and standard deviation. Based on the results of metric characteristics, we can conclude that model 1 has the best parameters of metric characteristics and as such should be used in calculating the results of the newly constructed test.
