Vovinam is a traditional martial art that was founded by the Vietnamese people. To perform at a high level, Vovinam athletes must demonstrate strong technical skills, tactical thinking, physical fitness, and psychological resilience. Among these, physical fitness plays a particularly important role, as it ensures athletes can maintain dominance in both attack and defense until the final moments of a match. This study aims to develop professional endurance tests for male Vovinam athletes at the Vietnam Aviation Academy. To achieve this objective, the researchers applied methods such as document analysis, interviews, pedagogical testing, and statistical analysis. The study was conducted with 20 male athletes from the Vietnam Aviation Academy's Vovinam team. As a result, seven endurance tests were selected, and corresponding scorecards, including a comprehensive scoring system, were developed to evaluate the athletes’ professional endurance. The findings show that, among the athletes assessed, 10.0% achieved an excellent level, 30.0% a good level, 35.0% an average level, 15.0% a weak level, and 10.0% a poor level.
