Q

Speed Tests

A

21
Q

Flexibility Tests

A
  • Balance Error Scoring System (BESS)

- Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT)

22
Q

Balance and Stability Tests

A
  • Sit-and-Reach Test

- Overhead Squat

23
Q

Body Composition Tests

A

Skinfold Measurements

24
Q

Anthropometry Tests

A

Girth Measurements

25
Q

Difference Score

A

The difference between an athlete’s score at the beginning and end of a training period or between any two separate testing times

26
Q

Percent Change

A

The difference between the values being compared divided by the original value, which is then multiplied by 100

27
Q

Limitations to evaluating a training programs effectiveness by degree of improvement

A
  • Athletes with a higher training status will have smaller degrees of improvement, but the program may be just as successful
  • Athletes may deliberately fail to give a max effort on pretraining tests to inflate their posttraining scores
28
Q

Statistics

A

The science of collecting, classifying, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data

29
Q

Types of statistics

A
  • Descriptive

- Inferencial

30
Q

Descriptive Statistics

A

Summarizes or describes a large group of data

31
Q

Categories of numerical measurement in descriptive statistics

A
  • Central tendency
  • Variability
  • Percentile rank
32
Q

Central Tendency

A

Values about which the data tend to cluster

33
Q

Measures of central tendency

A
  • Mean
  • Median
  • Mode
34
Q

Mean

A

The average of the scores

35
Q

Median

A
  • The middlemost score when a set of scores is arranged in order of magnitude
  • Best used when there is an outlier
36
Q

Mode

A

The score that occurs with the greatest frequency

37
Q

Variability

A

The degree of dispersion of scores within a group

38
Q

Common measures of variability

A
  • Range

- Standard deviation

39
Q

Range

A

The interval from the lowest to the highest score

40
Q

Standard Deviation

A
  • A measure of the variability of a set of scores about the mean
  • A small SD means the scores are closely clustered about the mean
  • A large SD means the scores are widely dispersed about the mean
41
Q

Percentile Rank

A

The percentage of test takers scoring below that individual

42
Q

Inferential Statistics

A
  • Allows one to draw general conclusions about a population from information collected in a population sample
  • Assumes the sample is truly representative of the population
43
Q

Magnitude Statstics

A
  • Allows for interpretation of the clinical significance of fitness testing
  • Smallest worthwhile change and effect size are important measures
44
Q

Smallest Worthwhile Change

A
  • Refers to the ability of a test to detect the smallest practically important change in performance
  • Typically is 0.2 of the between-subjects SD
45
Q

Effect Size

A
  • A statistic that can be useful for calculating group performance following a training program or comparing between groups of athletes
  • ES = (x posttest - x pretest) / SD pretest
46
Q

Reference Values for Effect Size

A
  • Small (0.2)
  • Moderate (0.6)
  • Large (1.2)
  • Very large (2.0)
47
Q

Athletic Profile

A

A group of test results related to sport-specific abilities that are important for quality performance in a sport or sport position

48
Q

Steps for evaluating athletes

A
  • Select tests that will measure the specific parameters related to the sport
  • Choose valid and reliable tests and arrange the testing battery in an appropriate order
  • Administer the test battery with as many athletes as possible
  • Determine the smallest worthwhile change
  • Conduct repeat testing and present a visual profile with figures
  • Use the results in a meaningful way
