Q

fitness components and anaerobic energy

A

Sports which rely on rapid and explosive movements obtain their energy anaerobically
Anaerobic sports usually require power, speed, strength, agility and a quick reaction time
Uses ATP-PC and glycogen stores for energy.

Q

fitness components and aerobic energy

A

Prolonged and sub-maximal activities longer than 60 seconds rely on aerobic energy production
Uses stored carbohydrates and fat
The maximum amount of oxygen that the body can use during aerobic activities is called Vo2 max.

Identify specific attributes

48
Q

fitness testing process

A

Activity analysis
Fitness test (pre)
Exercise prescription
Exercise program
Fitness test (post)
Evaluate

49
Q

physiological considerations

A

Needs to be considerate to the individuals abilities, level of fitness, their training regime and ensure safety
What is the individuals current fitness level
Does the individual have any past/current health
The physiological requirement of the individuals sport
Are the environmental conditions suitable for the testing process to be completely safe

50
Q

psychological perspective

A

Fitness testing can be used to:
Motivate participants = identify strengths and weaknesses can provide strong motivation and incentive when training.
Establish mental toughness = maximal tests will reveal the participant psychological strength

51
Q

psychological considerations

A

What level of self-efficacy or insecurity does an individual have with PA
How will poor results impact individuals’ well being or confidence?
Is the individual comfortable completing a test batter in a group of citations
Does the individual understand the purpose of testing battery

52
Q

sociocultural considerations

A

Is it culturally acceptable to be conducting the testing (skin folds)
Mixed group fitness testing acceptable in the setting
Age appropriate tests in fitness battery
Socioeconomic status restricting availability of tests
Are test practical for large groups

53
Q

preparticipant health screening

A

Must consider an individual’s health status (past injuries, known diseases, higher risk of injury) = determine an individual’s readiness for fitness testing or an exercise program

54
Q

fitnes assessment protocols

A

Informed consent
The process of minimising the risk of harm to both the performer and administrator of the test
It is a form that a participant signs. In the form it explains the purpose and nature of the test and any risks involved.

Validity
Is the test measuring what it claims to be measuring
Testing leg muscular power

Reliability

Will the tests be able to produce consistent results pre and post?
Just replicate conditions
Complete same warm up
Use the same equipment
Same test order
