Assessment of Strength and Power Flashcards
1
Q
What are the key points to specificity of testing?
A
- Movement type
- Movement velocity
- Posture
- Joint position
- Bi/unilateral
2
Q
Define anisometric
A
- ‘Not’ ‘Equal’ ‘Length’
3
Q
What is the for and against of anisometric testing?
A
- Easy to perform
- Little scientific analysis
4
Q
What is a good measure of speed-strength?
A
Snatch
5
Q
What are the two types of speed-power tests and what do they measure?
A
- Slow SSC CMJ (>250ms)
- Fast SSC drop jumps (<250ms)
- Leg extensor power
6
Q
What is the for and against of isometric training?
A
- Easy to perform
- Static
7
Q
What do both 1RM squat and isometric strength correlate with in performance?
A
100m sprint
8
Q
Define isokinetic testing
A
‘Same’ ‘Speed’
9
Q
What is the for and against isokinetic testing?
A
- Dynamic
- Not a real movement, requires familiarisation
10
Q
Is a high or low angular isokinetic velocity better correlated to running performance?
A
- High
