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

mode
what are the two measures of variability?
range and standard deviation
the interval from the lowest to the highest score
range
a measure of the variability of a set of scores about the mean
standard deviation
the percentage of test takers scoring below an individual
percentile rank
type of statistics that allows one to draw general conclusions about a population from information collected in a population sample that must be representative
inferential statistics
type of statistics that provides a more useful approach for practitioners because it allows for interpretation of the clinical significance of fitness testing
magnitude statistics
refers to the ability of a test to detect the smallest practically important change in performance
smallest worthwhile change
a statistic that can be useful for calculating group performance following a training program or comparing between groups of athletes
effect size
effect size =
effect size = (x posttest - x pretest) / SD pretest
