Administration, Scoring, and Interpretation of Selected Tests Flashcards
athletic performance
the ability to respond effectively to the various physical demands of the specific sport or event
definition of low speed muscular strength
muscular strength is related to the force a muscle or muscle group can exert in one maximal effort while maintaining proper form, and it can be quantified by the maximum weight that can be lifted at once
high speed muscular strength or maximal anaerobic muscular power or anaerobic power
related to the ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at a high speed
definition of anaerobic capacity
the maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and anaerobic glycolytic energy systems for moderate-duration activities
Local muscular endurance definition
the ability of certain muscles or muscle groups to perform repeated contractions against a sub maximal resistance
definition of aerobic capacity, also called aerobic power
is the maximum rate at which an athlete can produce energy through oxidation of energy sources and is usually expressed as a volume of oxygen consumed per kg of bodyweight
agility definition
the ability to stop, start, and change the direction of the whole body rapidly
speed definition
is movement distance per unit time and is typically quantified as the time taken to cover a fixed distance
flexibility
defined as the range of motion about a body joint
balance
it the ability to maintain static and dynamic equilibrium or the ability to maintain the body’s center of gravity over its base of support
stability
a measure of the ability to return to a desired position following a disturbance to the system
body composition definition
usually refers to the relative proportions by weight of fat and lean tissue
anthropometry
the science of measurement applied to the human body, generally includes measurements of height, weight, and selected body girths
