Limitations are found when verifying tests for stability of the shoulder and pelvic girdle, which compromises the ability to evaluate this variable for professional practice and scientific research. Proper core stability capability is important by preventing low back pain and improving performance in sports. The aim of this master thesis was to evaluate the reproducibility of the Upper Body Test and to apply it to evaluate the stabilization capacity of the shoulder and pelvic girdle after a training program with functional characteristics, performed with two methodologies of movement organization. For this, a study was carried out to evaluate the reproducibility of the test in young adults, during three days of evaluations, through the intraclass correlation coefficient, coefficient of variation and graphical analysis of Bland-Altman, as well as identification of the minimum detectable change of the instrument. A controlled clinical trial was then conducted with three groups: grouped training group, alternate training group, and control group. The groups performed a training period with functional characteristics, with the same training load, differentiated by the methodological organization of the training way. One group trained in a grouped manner, one alternately according to functional movement patterns, and the control group did not perform any type of training. The groups were evaluated before and after 10 weeks of training through the Upper Body Test. Statistical difference was observed between the first and second test sessions, with standardization of the evaluations for the third session. Thus, the very high reproducibility (r = 0.87 to 0.94) was found between the second and third evaluations, with a low variation (3.31% to 5.91%) and agreement between the measurements obtained with the Upper Body Test. The minimal detectable difference between the patterns shows greater sensitivity to the body hemispheres (3.3 to 3.8). From the reproducibility obtained for the test and 10 weeks of training, it was verified that the group that trained in a grouped way obtained statistical improvement between the initial and final moments of the training, with a small effect size for the measurements in relation to the hemispheres Body. The group of grouped training had statistical difference in relation to the control group. Thus, it is concluded that Upper Body Test presents reliability for assessing the capacity of stabilizing the shoulder and pelvic girdle in young adults, and that the way of grouped functional training promotes an improvement in this capacity of stabilization.
