Musculoskeletal Testing/Programming Flashcards
Muscular strength
maximal force
Muscular endurance
sustained submaximal force
Muscular power
force per unit of time
Steps for 1-RM testing
Warm-up:
* 5-10 reps at 40%-60% of estimated 15-RM
* 3-5 reps at 60%-80% of estimated 1-RM
Attempt 1-RM
2-4 min rest between attempts
Increase weight conservatively
Attempt until failure
Increase weight conservatively
5-10% upper body
10-20% lower body
Relative strength
1-RM / body mass
Muscular power tests
Vertical jump
Standing long jump
Dynamic muscular endurance testing
YMCA bench press
Dynamic muscular endurance tests: calisthenics
Pull-ups, push-ups, trunk curls
Considerations/tests for muscular fitness in elderly
Strength:
* 1-RM testing is appropriate
* Submaximal estimate of 1-RM
Functional fitness
* Arm curl
* 30-sec chair stand
Power
* Tendo: explosive chair stand
Considerations/tests for muscular fitness in children
Strength
* 1-RM testing is appropriate
* One-on-one supervision
* Child-sized resistance machines
Endurance
* Multiple-rep body resistance (e.g., push-ups, pull-ups)
Power
* Standing long jump
