anaerobic and aerobic power Flashcards
what is mean power?
average watts produced over the entire test
what is peak power?
highest watt at anytime during test
what is fatigue index?
percent decline over the course of the test
what are ways to asses anaerobic power?
1) wingate test
2) R.A.S.T
When would peak vs mean power be more beneficial to know?
- peak power more important for athletes with short/powerful movements
- mean power more important when stamina is needed for longer (ex: hockey)
based on these anerobic test results and goals scored last season, who should you draft first?
2 ways to look at data
- steve scored a lot with less fitness, if fitness increased, can score more potentially
- mark is stronger and scored slightly more
what does R.A.S.T stand for?
running anaerobic sprint test
what are factors of influence for the R.A.S.T test?
- similar except resistance
- open space preferred
- more practical for running based clients
why would a soccer player score poorly on the wingate test?
does not typically use that much power during game situation
why would a sports team perform below average on the RAST tesr performed in a gymnasium
lack of space and unfamiliar space
what are some factors under the control of the physiologist that may effect performce of an aerobic test?
- poor warm-up
- increasing intensity too fast
- local muscular fatigue
- subject comfort level
- sport specificity
what does VO2 max not account for?
- skill level
- mental toughness
- technique
why would you test VO2 max?
useful to see if someones aerobic capacity is improving
what are some tests for aerobic power?
- bruce treadmill test
- storer-davis maximal cycling test
- concori treadmill test
- queens college step test
- rockport fitness walking test
- harvard step test
- mCAFT
- leger shuttle run (beep test)
- cooper’s 12 min run
- 1.5 mile test
- average running speed
explain why someone performed well on arobic test but does not regularly exercise
genetics
