fitness components Flashcards
muscular strength
maximal force generated by a muscle or muscle group in one maximal effort
tests:
- 1 RM deadlift test
- grip strength dynamometer
aerobic power
rate of aerobic ATP production
tests:

- harvard step test
muscular endurance
muscle to continue a sustained movement for an extended period of time
tests:
- 60 second push up test
- 60 second curl up test
flexibility
capacity of a joint to move through its full range of motion
tests:
- trunk flexion sit and reach test
- trunk rotation test
body composition
relative proportions of bone, muscle and fat within the body
tests:
- waist circumference
- bmi
anaerobic capacity
total amount of energy obtainable from the anaerobic systems
tests:
- phosphate recovery test
- 30 sec wingate test
muscular power
exert a force rapidly over a short period of time
tests:
- standing long jump test
- vertical jump
speed
move the body or body part from one point to another as quickly as possible
tests:
- 20m sprint
- 50m sprint
balance
body to remain in a state of equilibrium while performing a task
coordination
use different parts of the body together smoothly and efficiently
reaction time
time between a stimulus and the first response
agility
change direction with maximal speed and control
tests:
- illinois agility test
- semo agility test
validity
test’s ability to measure what it is supposed to
are the tests relevant to the fitness components identified in activity analysis?
reliability
test’s consistency and ability of scorer to produce the same result each time for the same performance.
can test conditions be replicated both pre and post testing?
improving reliability: equipment, warm up, conditions (temperature, indoors, etc), time of day
accuracy
supplying accurate information in a controlled environment to limit errors in results.
is the environment controlled enough to ensure correct testing results?
improving accuracy: accurate equipment, appropiate facilities, trained administrators
