Ch. 12 Admin, Scoring, and Interp of Tests Flashcards
Low-speed muscular strength
tested by maximal strength tests like squat and bench
athletic performance
the ability to respond effectively to various physical challenges
anaerobic capacity
the maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and lactic acid energy systems for moderate-duration activities
local muscular endurance
the ability of certain muscles or muscle groups to perform repeated contractions against a submaximal resistance
aerobic power or capacity
the maximum rate at which an athlete can produce energy through oxidation of energy resources (carbs, fats, proteins)
agility
the ability to stop, start, and change the direction of the body or body parts rapidly and in a controlled manner
speed
movement distance per unit time and is typically quantified as the time taken to cover a fixed distance
flexibility
the range of motion about a body joint
body composition
refers to the relative proportions by weight of fat and lean tissues
anthropometry
the science of measurement applied to the human body, generally includes measurements of height, weight, and selected body girths
difference score
the difference between an athlete’s score at the beginning and end of a training period or between any two separate testing times
central tendency
values about which the data tend to cluster
variability
the degree of dispersion of scores within a group
range
the interval from the lowest to the highest score
standard deviation
a measure of the variability of a set of scores about the mean
