Chapter 13: Administration, Scoring, and Interpretation of Selected Tests Flashcards
the force a muscle or muscle group can exert in one maximal effort
maximum muscular strength
(low speed)
the ability of the muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at a high speed
maximum muscle power (high speed or anaerobic)
maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and lactic acid energy systems for moderate endurance activities
anaerobic capacity
ability of certain muscles or muscle groups to perform repeated contractions against a submaximal resistance
local muscular endurance
maximum rate at which an athlete can produce energy through oxidation of energy resources (carbs, fats, proteins)
aerobic capacity
ability to stop, start, and change the direction of the body or body parts rapidly and in a controlled manner
agility
movement distance per unit time, typically quantified as the time taken to cover a fixed distance
speed
range of motion about a body joint
flexibility
relative proportions by weight of fat and lean tissue
body composition
the science of measurement applied to the human body that includes measurements of height, weight, and selected body girths
anthropometry
true or false: ATP is the primary energy source for both low speed and high speed muscular strength tests
true
true or false: most maximal muscular strength tests use relatively slow movement speeds and therefore reflect low speed strength
true
how does the static vertical jump mainly differ from the standard vertical jump?
countermovement is removed
(squat, 2-3 second hold, jump)
What test has the athlete step forward off a box without stepping down or jumping up, and upon contact with the ground, jump as high as possible while minimizing contact time as much as possible?
reactive strength index test
how do you calculate reactive strength index?
jump height / contact time
what test has the athlete sprint towards and up a staircase 3 steps at a time?
margaria kalamen test
how is power calculated from the margaria kalamen test?
P (watts) = (w x h) / time
w: athlete’s weight in N
h: height from 3rd-9th step in meters
what test has a pair of athletes sprint to the line 25 yards away and then immediately sprint back to the first line for a total of 6 round trips as fast as possible?
300 yard shuttle
the best of _____ trials is recorded for the reactive strength index test
3
the best of _____ trials is recorded to the nearest 0.5 inch for the vertical jump
3
the average of ___ trials is recorded to the nearest 1.0 second for the 300 yard shuttle
2
for the curl up test, the athlete performs as many curl ups as possible without pausing to a maximum of ___?
75 curl ups
how do the starting positions for the army pushup and ACSM pushup for females differ?
army: knees off ground
ACSM: knees on ground
for the army standard pushup test, as many repetition are done within a timed __ minute period?
2 minute
