摘要：The aim of the work was to determine the relationship between the laboratory and specific test of the functional capacity of tennis players. The focus was to determine whether the use of specific tests can simulate energy requirements of laboratory tests. The sample consisted of 20 male tennis players. All the subjects participated in the continuous laboratory test and interval specific tennis test. The variables were measured using a treadmill, Cosmed K4 portable system and Polar device for measurement of heart rate. The measurements were conducted in the Diagnostic centre of the Faculty of Kinesiology in Zagreb, and in the National tennis centre in Zagreb. Relationship between the variables of the laboratory and specific test were determined using Pearson correlation (r) with the level of statistical significance set at p<0.05. A number of variables from either the laboratory test or specific test were significantly correlated, with exception of the maximal respiratory rate (laboratory test) which is not significantly correlated with any of the variables.
