Everything Flashcards
validity
the degree to which something measures what its supposed to measure
content validity
asssed by experts, to see if the test includes all relevant parts and measures
criterion validity
the degree to which the validity agrees with the criterion - gold standard, should be using stats and is the most importanat validity
face validity
how the validity appears to the individuals
construct validity
the overall validty of if what the test measures, is what it is supposed to meausure
reasons for testing 3
- identify the physical characteristics of an individual
- baseline, conduct pre, post and during, in order to prescribe and check the effects of the prescription
- regular testing to make sure there has been littele to no deviation from their goals for quality assurance
Test I.D
testing the baseline physical attributes of an athlete to understand their potential if they have what is neccessary for their sport
what is a test
a procdure examining the ability of a person in a specific endeavour
what is a field test
a procedure examining the ability of a person in a specific endeavour outside of the labrotroy, no extensive testing or equipment
most common test in sport
field testing
measurment
a way of collecting data
evaluation
analyzing the data for considerations about the future

reliability
the repeatabiliuty of a test
informaation is not useful if it is not….
valid or reliabl
intrasubject variability with examples
the lack of consistency in performance by the individual test - ex lack of sleep, fatgigue, stress
intrarater variability with examples
the lack of cinsistency in performance by the person administering the test
- ex switching the tester, underqualified
reliability provides the worthwhile…

types of test validity
construct, face, content, criterion ,
types of reliability
intra-rater and intra-subject variablity
why consider sport specificity?
coaches should consider it because differetn sports need differernt traits.
ex . metabolic systems, physiological structure, height , weight, gender, traiing status
and many team sports have age gaps tyhat need to be looked at in order to sleect a test for the entire team.
test selection factors (5)
EMEBA
environmental factors
metabolic system specificity
experience and training status
biomechanical system specificity
age/sex
experimental factors
extreme conditions can affect reliablity and validity
cardiorespiratory have poor results wiht altitude and heat
power and speed tests do better in altitude
metabolic systems
make sure that the test follows the metabolic system at work in the sport and not the actual sport.
