Max Muscular Strength (Low-Speed Strength)
The force a muscle or muscle group can exert in one maximal effort while maintaining proper form
Anaerobic or Max Muscular Power (High-Speed Strength)
The ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at a high speed
Anaerobic Capacity
Max rate of energy production by the combined ATP-PC and anaerobic glycolytic energy systems for moderate-duration activities
Local Muscular Endurance
The ability of certain muscle or muscle groups to perform repeated contractions against a submaximal resistance
Aerobic Capacity
- AKA aerobic power
- The max rate at which an athlete can produce energy through oxidation of energy sources
Agility
A rapid, whole-body, change of direction or speed in response to a sports-specific stimulus
Speed
Movement distance per unit time
Flexibility
The range of motion about a body joint
Balance and Stability
- Balance: the ability to maintain static and dynamic equilibrium; ability to maintain the body’s COG over the BOS
- Stability: measures the ability to return to a desired position following a disturbance to the system
Body Composition
Relative proportions by weight of fat and lean tissue
Anthropometry
Measurements applied to the human body (height, weight, and selected body girths)
Testing Conditions
Testing conditions should be as similar as possible for all the athletes and from test to retest
