Ch17: Needs Analysis Flashcards
What is a needs analysis
first step in the design of any exercise training program
the initial task performed by the strength and conditioning professional
what are the 2 stages of a needs analysis
- evaluation of the requirements and characteristics of the sport
- assessment of the athlete
what are the minimum attributes that should be considered when evaluating a sport
movement analysis
physiological analysis
injury analysis
movement analysis
body and limb movement patterns and muscular involvement
physiological analysis (12) C, S, E, H, B, F, S, S, P, A, B, R
cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, hypertrophy, body composition, flexibility, speed, speed endurance, power, agility, balance and reaction time priorities
injury analysis
common joint and muscle injury sites and causative factors
are there any other attributes of a sport that need to be evaluated
CV endurance, speed, agility, flexibility
what factors are considered when assessing an athlete (4) TITP
training status
injury status
physical testing and evaluation
primary exercise training goal
training status
defined as an athlete’s current condition or level of preparedness to begin new or revised program
includes:
an evaluation of any current or previous injuries
training background or exercise history
training status: training background
type of training program
length of recent participation in previous training programs
level of intensity involved in previous training programs
degree of exercise technique experience
injury status
evaluation is performed by sports medicine professional
current or previous injuries
type of injury:
contact
acute non-contact
chronic non-contact
contact injury
traumatic injury resulting from a contact
acute non-contact injury
msk damage following non-contact activities
chronic non-contact injury
overuse
continued or repetitive actions/loading in excess of an athlete’s physical tolerance
example of contact injuries

physical testing and evaluation
tests selected based on what (3)
- related to the athlete’s sport
- consistent with the athlete’s level of skill
- realistically based on the equipment available
