Chapter 13: Administration, scoring, and interpretation of selected tests Flashcards
the ability to respond effectively to the various physical demands of the specific sport or event
athletic performance
maximal strength tests reflect this aspect of athletic performance
low-speed muscular strength
related to the ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at a high speed
high-speed muscular strength or maximal anaerobic muscular power
these two types of tests are measures of the PC system
muscular strength
muscular power
the maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and anaerobic glycolytic energy systems for moderate-duration activities
anaerobic capacity
anaerobic capacity is typically quantified as the maximal power output during muscular activity of this length using a variety of under and lower body exercises
30-90 seconds
The ability of certain muscles or groups of muscles to perform repeated contractions against a submaximal resistance
local muscular endurance
the maximal rate at which an athlete can produce energy through oxidation of energy sources and is usually expressed as a volume of oxygen consumed per kilogram of body weight per minute
aerobic capacity/power
traditionally has been considered the ability to stop, start, and change the direction of the whole body rapidity. is now defined as ‘a rapid, whole-body, change of directions or speed in response to a sport-specific stimulus’
agility
agility consists of these two man components
speed in changing direction
cognitive factors
movement distance per unit time, and is typically quantified as the time taken to cover a fixed distance
speed
the range of motion about a body joint
flexibility
the ability to maintain static and dynamic equialibrium or the ability to maintain the body’s center of gravity over its base of support
balance

stability
refers to the relative proportions by weight of fat and lean tissue
body composition
this is the most valid and reliable means for assessing body fatness that is generally available to S&C professionals

difference between the athletes score at the beginning and end of a training period
difference score
science of collecting, classifying, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data
statistics
summarizes or describes a large group of data, used when all the information about a population is known
descriptive statistics
measures are values about which the data tend to cluster
central tendency
average of scores
mean
middlemost score when a set of scores is arranged in order of magnitude
median
this can be a better measure of central tendancy than mean
median
score that occurs with the greatest requency, generally the least useful measure of central tendency
mode
degree of dispersion of scores within a group
variability
the interval from the lowest to the highest scores (measure of variability)
range
measure of variability of a set of scrores about the mean
standard deviation
this can be used to express the distance of any individual score in standard deviation units from the mean
z score
the percentage of test takes scoring below the individual
percentile rank
allows one to draw general conclusions about a population from information collected in a population sample
inferential statistics
can provide 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
