What are the important characteristics of a fitness test? (4)
- specific
- accurate
- reliable
- valid
Accurate
equipment works and makes exact measurements free from mistakes
Reliable
produces same result from trial to trial
Valid
measures what it claims to and appropriate for aim of experiment
How many experimental designs are there to show causality?
5
What are the experimental designs to show causality? (5)
- control group
- placebo
- double blinding
- randomization
- statistical analysis
Statistical Analysis
mathematics is used to analyze data and draw conclusions so that results are valid
How many categories of fitness tests are there?
4
What are the categories for fitness tests? (4)
- field tests
- lab tests
- maximal tests
- sub-maximal tests
Field Tests
realistic scenarios
Lab Tests
more control and can utilize more technology
Maximal Tests (2)
- gage maximal exertion
- uncomfortable and unsafe for some
Sub-maximal Tests
predicts maximal exertion without effort and stress in less time with quicker recovery
Health-Related Physical Fitness
ability to meet physical and physiological demands of daily living without excessive fatigue
Performance-Related Physical Fitness
ability to perform in a specific sport
What are some examples of health-related fitness components? (3)
- body composition
- flexibility
- strength
Body Composition
proportion of total body mass made up of fat and fat free-mass
Flexibility
ability to move through the full range of motion of a joint
Strength
ability to generate force by a muscle
What are some examples of performance-related fitness components? (3)
- agility
- balance
- coordination
Agility
ability to rapidly change direction or speed
Balance
the stability of the body
Coordination
performing multiple motor functions correctly at the same time
What is the value of a fitness test determined by? (5)
- safety of participants
- ethical considerations
- number of participants to be tested
- resources and facilities available
- accuracy that is required
What are some tests that assess aerobic capacity? (3)
- beep test
- Cooper’s 12 minute run
- Harvard step test
Beep Test (2)
- 20 meter shuttles repeated at increased speeds until exhaustion
- level reached and # of shuttles determines aerobic capacity
