fitness tests Flashcards
what is the functional threshold test
refers to the highest intensity that performer can work at for one hour, there performer should try to keep to this intents over a predetermined period of time, allowing personalised training zones to be created
what does the functional threshold test, test
subximal aerobic fitness
what is the lactate threshold fitness test
refers to the occurrence of lactate accumulation in the blood and determines when anaerobic exercise is taking place, the performer increase the intensity of exercise at different stage until the are exhausted, blood samples are taken at each stage and then analysed for lactate concentration
what fitness component does lactate threshold test
submaximal aerobic fitness
what is the gas analysis fitness test
athlete measuring the composition of the air they are breathing out by using a mouthpiece to expire their air into a specialised bag, then will be analysed to determines measures such as VO2 max
what does gas analysis test
exercise economy
what is the multi stage fitness test
two seta of cones spaces 20 apart, beep is emmitted and the performer must run to the other et of cones before the beep happens again, repeated and the beeps being closer together, performer continues until exhaustion, level reached by performer is recored
what fitness test does the multi stage fitness test test
maximal aerobic fitness
what happens in the step test
performer performs either 24 or 22 steps per minute, while stepping onto a box, continues for three mintutes, once finished heart rate is recored and compared to a fitness index.
what fitness component des the step test test
maximal aerobic fitness
what is the yo-yo test
same procedure as he multi stage fitness test, but it starts off quicker pace before altering the speed, athlete continues till exhaustion
what component does the yo-yo test, test
maximal aerobic fitness
what happens in the 12 min Cooper run
performer runs around track for 12 mins aiming to cover as much distance as possible
what component does the 12 mink Cooper run test
maximal aerobic fitness
what is the Wingate test
takes place on a cycle ergometer, the performer cycles as quickly as they can for 30 seconds, as a redetermined load is dropped onto the wheels making out harder to pedal formula can reused to determine peak power produced
what component does the Wingate test test
anaerobic capacity
what is maximum accumulated oxygen deficit
includes 10 x 4 min sub maximal bouts of exercise
what component does the maximum accumulated oxygen deficit test
anaerobic capacity
what is the repeated anaerobic sprint test
two sets of cones are placed 35m metres apart, performer then sprints from one set to another, once one sprint is completed the performer rests for 10secs before sprint grace Ito the original set of cones, this is repeated three times, the time taken for each sprint is recorded, before being entered in a calculation
what component of fitness does repeated anaerobic sprint test, test
anaerobic capacity
what happens in the Cunningham and Faulkner test
performer runs of a treadmill at a pace of 8 mph at an incline of 20% until they are exhausted and can longer continue, time taken to reach exhaustion is recored
what component does Cunningham and Faulkner test
anaerobic capacity
what is the jump test
the performer stand next to a wall, before completing a vertical jump and touching the wall at as high a point as they can, highest point then measured
what component does the jump test,test
anaerobic power
what is the margarita- kalamen test
performer is weighted , a set of 12 steps is place 6 m in front of the performer, then performer then sprints to the steps and aims to reach the top of the seps as quickly as possible by only stepping on the their and sixth and ninth step, the time taken form the third to ninth step is recorded
what component does the margarita kalamen test test
anaerobic capacity
what is the strength test
the one rep max test, lift as heavy a weight as they can to complete one repetition, the weight lifted is recored
what component does the strength test, test
anaerobic capacity
what is agility test
involves the performer completing a 10m x 5m course by following a path around and in between a set of cones, performer Strats by lying on their chest, the time taken is then recored
what component does the agility test, test
anaerobic capacity
what is the 30m sprint test
30m set out by two cones with performer sprinting from one to another, the time taken to cover the distance is recorded
what component does 30m sprint test, test
maximum speed
