Q

this indicates how well the test matches the objectives of testing

A

relevance

23
Q

this means that the test appears to test what it is suppose to test

A

face validity

24
Q

this means that an expert has determined that a test covers all topics or abilities that it should

A

content validity

25
Q

a theoretical concept meaning that a test is able to differentiate between performance abilites

A

construct validity

26
Q

this allows the personal trainer to use tests in the field or in the fitness center, instead of tests that can be performed only in a laboratory setting or with expensive equipment, because laboratory test results and field test results have BEEN STATISTICALLY COMPARED WITH EACHOTHER

A

criterion-related validity

27
Q

hydrostatic weighing is this type of measure

A

indirect

28
Q

autopsy is this type of measure

A

direct

29
Q

SKNFLD, BIA, NIR, and anthropometric measures are this type of measure

A

doubly indirect (based off comparisons to an indirect method)

30
Q

this is the difference between a person’s observed score, and a theoretically errorless score

A

standard error of measurement

31
Q

Key client factors to consider in selecting tests 5

A 
health status
functional capacity
age
sex
pretraining status
32
Q

temperatures between 65-72 F and 65.1 and 72% humidity do this

A

increase the risk of exertional heatstroke

33
Q

Exposure to cold temperatures less than 25F have this effect

A

no effect on young apparently healthy individuals

older people may have cardiovascular, and respiratory problems

34
Q

ideal room temp, humidity, and air circulation for a testing room

A

between 68-72F
less than 60% humidity
6-8 air changes/hour

35
Q

These 2 are the most important required assessments for initiating and designing an exercise program

A

client CVD risk

potential contraindications for specific actvities due to known musculoskeletal limitations or disease

36
Q

these types of tests use indirect measurements to quantify and extrapolate performance results, and are usually conducted by a certified personal trainer

A

field tests

37
Q

Place the following tests of general fitness in the best order: nonfatiguing tests, local muscular endurance tests, muscular strength tests, resting tests, submaximal aerobic capacity tests

A 
resting tests
nonfatiguine tests
muscular strength tests
local muscular endurance tests
submaximal aerobic capacity tests
38
Q

place the following tests of athletic performance in the best order: anaerobic capacity tests, sprint tests, agility tests, resting tests, nonfatiguing tests, maximum power/strength tests, local muscular endurance tests, maximal/submaximal aerobic capacity tests

A 
resting tests
nonfatiguing tests
agility tests
maximum power/strength tests
sprint tests
local muscular endurance tests
anaerobic capacity tests
maximal or submaximal aerobic capacity tests
39
Q

How long should the rest period be before conducting a maximum aerobic test if it cannot be done on a separate day

A

1 hour from conclusion of other testing

40
Q

in regards to test protocols these have a direct impact on the reliability and objectivity of a test

A

clarity and simplicity of instructions of a test

41
Q

two reference perspectives for comparison of data

A

norm-referenced standards

criterion-referenced standards

42
Q

these are standards which are used to compare the performance of an individuals against the performance of others in the same category

A

norm-referenced standards

43
Q

percentile scores are examples of

A

norm-referenced standards

44
Q

the lowest performance that would allow an individual to maintain good health and lessen the risk of chronic disease

A

health standard (criterion-reference standards)

45
Q

These standards are set against a combination of normative data and the best judgement of the expers in a given field to identify a specific level of achievement

A

criterion-reference standards

46
Q

These provide reasonable goals for most people to achieve for improved health

A

criterion-reference standards

47
Q

T/F: one must score near the top of a norm-referenced standard to be considered healthy

A

F

48
Q

In the absence of criterion-referenced data the best way to use normative tables is to do this

A

encourage clients with goals of striving for fitness improvements until they reach the average or higher levels for a given component

49
Q

This should be scheduled just after the post-testing is complete to discuss the client’s degree of achievement, review of strenghts and weaknesses of the initial program, set new goals, and modify the program where appropriate

A

summative evaluation

50
Q

these are measures of progress toward a goal

A

formative evaluations

51
Q

these are measures of the degree of attainment of a stated goal

A

summative evaluations

52
Q

T/F: For most individuals it is more important to compare test results to themselves rather than to the skills or fitness levels of others

A

T

53
Q

A formal assessment with a specified test protocol, as well as the subjective observations the personal trainer makes during each interaction with the client.
Take place before a program begins and periodically throughout the training period to offer the PT opportunities to formulate a program, give the client feedback, and make modifications to the program.

A

formative evaluation

54
Q

Final Evaluations made when a client competes a specified training period, class, or season.
Represents the sum total of what has been accomplished in a given period.
The same assessments are used at the beginning, middle, and end of an exercise program.

A

Summative Evaluations
