Q

what can an assessment of anaerobic performance provide valuable information about

A
  • fitness status
  • we can monitor improvement throughout training
  • determine readiness to return to sport or work following an injury.

Q

what is the proper testing frequency for low speed strength testing on a BP

A
stretch (light aerobic)
WU with light resistance 
-1 set 50% 1RM
-1 set 75%
-1 set 90%
-1 set 90% or 95% (depending on readiness)
-test the max effort

Q

how is max power tested, in terms of bouts, muscles, and examples

A
  • single exercise bout (3o sec Wingate, 300 yd shuttle, 400 m run)
  • repeated bouts (sprint recovery, RAST)
  • may test specific muscle groups

16
Q

what is the key to testing local muscle endurance

A

not allow rest periods between reps

17
Q

what are some examples of local muscle endurance tests

A

partial curl up
push up
tricep dips

18
Q

what is agility testing

A

rapid, whole body change in direction or speed, in response to a stimulus, or in anticipation

19
Q

what are some agility tests

A

T-test
505 agility
pro-agility (20 yard shuttle)

20
Q

what is a speed test

A

measure acceleration and max speed

21
Q

what are examples of acceleration and max speed tests

A

acceleration: 10 yards

max speed: 40 yards

22
Q

why is testing beyond 100 yards typically not done

A

longer sprints assess anaerobic or aerobic capacity,

23
Q

what is balance and stability testing used for

A

means to predict readiness to return to sports, and risk for injury

24
Q

what are some balance and stability tests

A
star excursion (return to sport)
Y-balance (return to sport)
FMS (baseline)
