Q

what are the limitations of performance analysis

A

real time analysis- difficult to remember key events (coaches can recall only 30-50% of the game)
coaches may form biased views of athletes which may mean incorrect guidance is given
descision making, spatial awareness are difficult to quantify

Q

what is vo2 max test test

A

vo2- the max volume of oxygen a person can take in, transport and use per min
it gives a good measure of cardio vascular endurance

21
Q

what is the vo2 max test protocol

A
  • athlete is connected to a gas analyser and hr monitor
  • treadmill speed is progressively increased
  • changes in concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide measured
  • test continues until athlete reaches exhausion indicating maximal oxygen uptake is reached
22
Q

what is the wingate 30sec cycle test test

A

it measures anaerobic capacity

23
Q

what is the wingate 30sec cycle test protocol

A
  • the cycle ergometer is set up with resistance in proportion to the athletes body weight
  • max effort for 30secs
  • ## number of revolutions pedalled every 5 secs are counted by a computer
24
Q

what are the advantages of field testing

A

high ecological validity
low cost
larger sample size can be tested at one time

25
Q

what are the disadvatages of field tests

A

low internal validity

26
Q

what is the interpretation of lab test results

A

provide direct measurement of specific component of fitness

27
Q

what is the interpretation of field test results

A

predict scores using data to motivate individual and see development

28
Q

what does the multi stage fitness test measure

A

aerobic capacity/vo2 max

29
Q

what is the multistage fitness test protocol

A
  • 20m marked out on flat surface
  • run up and down in time to the beeps on pre recorded app
  • beeps become faster
  • continue to exhaustion and can no longer keep up to beeps
  • level reached is compared to normative table
30
Q

what does the harvard step test test

A

submaimal test that tests vo2 max that doesnt require subject to work to exhaustion

31
Q

what is the harvard step test protocol

A

used when testing special opulation
- 50cm high step
- using metronome steps up and down at a rate of 30 steps per min for 5 mins
- number of heart beats are counted between 1 and 1 and half mins after completing test to calculate fitness index

32
Q

what does the plank test measure

A

static strength

33
Q

what is the plank test protocol

A
  • subject lies face down forearms on floor (plank position)
  • as stopwatch starts they get into position
  • hold posistion til exhaustion and are unabale to keep hips or back straight
34
Q

what does 1 rep max test

A

dynamic strength

35
Q

what is the 1 rep max test protocol

A
  • select weight for specific muscle group to be tested
  • starting at acheiveable weight
  • weight is increase each completed rep until failure
36
Q

what does 1 min press up test measure

A

muscular endurance

37
Q

what is the 1 min press up test protocol

A
  • on a floor with mats lay down hands under shoulders
  • on start on stopwatch subject pushes into press up and back down
  • number of full press ups completed are counted in the 1 min
38
Q

what does the sit and reach test measure

A

flexibility

39
Q

what is the sit and reach test protocol

A
  • use a sit and reach box against wall
  • sit with fit against the fat side of the box legs fully extended
  • reach forward as far as possible with hands
    measurement taken from finger tips
  • best of 3 attempts
40
Q

what does sprint test measures

A

speed

41
Q

what is the sprint test protocol

A
  • set an appropriate distance
  • using a stop watch or timing gates time the sprint
42
Q

what does the vertical jump test measure

A

power

43
Q

what is the vertical jump test protocol

A
  • stand side on to wall reach far up as possible and mark where finger tips reach
  • jump vertically and distance between standing height and jump is calculated
  • 3 attempts
44
Q

what does the illinois agility test measure

A

agility

45
Q

what is the illinois agility test protocol

A
  • set up course
  • start lying down arms outstretched touching startline
  • complete test as quickly as possible
46
Q

what does the stork stand test measure

A

balance

47
Q

what is the stork balance test protocol

A
  • stand both feet hands on hips
  • lift right leg up sole of foot placed against the side of left kneecap
  • timed holding the position for longest
48
Q

what are reaction time and coordination tests tricky to measure

A

they arent valid for certain sports (sport specific)
