Abstract
The aims of the present study were, firstly, to determine the reliability and reproducibility of an agility T-test and Yo-Yo 10 m recovery test; and secondly, to analyse the physical characteristics measured by sprint, agility, strength and endurance field tests in wheelchair basketball (WB) players. 16 WB players (33.06 ± 7.36 years, 71.89 ± 21.71 kg and sitting body height 86.07 ± 6.82 cm) belonging to the national WB league participated in this study. Wheelchair sprint (5 and 20 m without ball, and 5 and 20 m with ball) agility (T-test and pick-up test) strength (handgrip and maximal pass) and endurance (Yo-Yo 10 m recovery test) were performed. T-test and Yo-Yo 10 m recovery test showed good reproducibility values (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC = 0.74-0.94). The WB players' results in 5 and 20 m sprints without a ball were 1.87 ± 0.21 s and 5.70 ± 0.43 s and with a ball 2.10 ± 0.30 s and 6.59 ± 0.61 s, being better than those reported in the literature. Regarding the pick-up test results (16.05 ± 0.52 s) and maximal pass (8.39 ± 1.77 m), players showed worse values than those obtained in elite players. The main contribution of the present study is the characterization of the physical performance profile of WB players using a field test battery. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the agility T-test and the aerobic Yo-Yo 10 m recovery test are reliable; consequently they may be appropriate instruments for measuring physical fitness in WB.

Abstract
The germinal cell tumor represents the most common malignancy of the testicular tissues. Benign testis tumors are exceptional, and in this situation organ preservation should be considered. The adenomatoid tumor is the most common paratesticular type with anatomic distribution limited to the epididymis, testicular membranes and rarely to the spermatic cord. Its intratesticular localization is very rare. We report here the clinical case of a 32-year-old man with a testicular tumor who came to our department with a 6-month growth of a testicular mass (normal alpha-fetoprotein and beta-HCG). The pathologic report revealed a solid and small tumor at the lower pole of the testicle with total intratesticular tumor growth (adenomatoid tumor of intratesticular localization). Because of its rarity, the clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects and the possibilities of testicular preservation are discussed.
