Chapter 3 Flashcards
Subjective information
Personal information given by the athlete; medical history and lifestyle
Readiness for activity
Collect medical history, such as past injuries, surgeries, illness, medications, and chronic conditions before training a new athlete
Past injuries
Prior injuries can have effects up and down the kinetic chain; most importantly ankle sprains, and injuries to knee ligaments, the low back, and the shoulders
Objective information
Measurable data obtained by performing assessments and observations
Physiological assessments
Resting heart rate, blood pressure, body composition
Resting heart rate
70 BPM for average adult, can range from 60 to 100 BPM
Blood pressure
Normal systolic = 120-130 mmHg; normal diastolic = 80-85 mmHg
Body composition assessments
Skin fold calipers, circumference measurements, bio electrical impedance, underwater weighing, whole-body phlethysmography, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)
Fat mass
Body fat % times scale weight
Lean mass
Scale weight - fat mass
Circumference measurements
Assess girth changes; measure at neck, chest, waist, hip, though, calves, and biceps
Skin fold measurement
Taken on right side of body, arms relaxed freely to the side, repeat three times and average for each site, add average of sites together and match to Durnin formula chart to determine body fat %
Subscapular
45-degree fold, 1-2 cm below the inferior angle of the scapula
Iliac crest
45-degree fold, just above iliac crest at anterior axillary line
Posture
Independent and interdependent alignment and function of all components of the human movement system
Structural efficiency
Alignment of musculoskeletal system which allows center of gravity to be maintained over a base of support
Functional efficiency
Ability of neuromuscular system to monitor and manipulate movement during functional tasks, using least amount of energy, creating least amount of stress on kinetic chain
Transitional & dynamic postural assessments
Look at posture during movement; gain quick imporession of athlete’s overall functional status; overhead squat, single-leg squat, pushing/pulling assessment, LESS test
Performance assessments
Assess overall athletic performance, measure stability, strength, power, speed, agility, quickness, and metabolic conditioning
Stability assessments
Double-leg lowering test, Sorensen erector spinae test, single-leg STAR balance excursion test, Davies test
Strength assessments
Upper extremity strength (bench press), 185 lb. Bench press (basketball), lower extremity strength (squat), pull-ups, push-ups
Power assessments
Power clean, rotation medicine ball throw, overhead medicine ball throw, standing soccer throw, double-leg vertical jump, single-leg vertical hop, double-leg horizontal jump (long jump), single-leg horizontal hop (long jump on single leg)
SAQ assessments
Shark skill test, 10, 20, 30 yard sprint, LEFT, 5-10-5 test, 5-0-5 test, meter spring test, T drill
Metabolic assessments
300 yard shuttle, 20 meter multistage shuttle test, 1 mile run
