Q

Why do athletes take part in fitness tests?

A
  1. Establish a baseline
  2. To highlight any strengths and weaknesses
  3. Compare with opponents and norms
  4. To see improvements by making a specific training programme
  5. Retest and adapt if needed

Q

What is Reliability?

Q

Can a test be reliable but not valid?

A

Yes
E.g a hand grip dynamometer will produce reliable results, it is not a valid test of leg strength because it measures hand grip.

Q

What are the reaction time observations?

A
Live observation 
What you see at the time 
1 view, 1 watch 
Limited view - might miss them play 
Hard to supply accurate feedback 
Difficult to observe complex skills

Q

What are the advantages of video analysis?

A
  1. Coaches and athletes can see aspects of performance, instead of having to interpret numerical data.
  2. Cheaper video cameras are becoming available
  3. Can be adapted to film different aspects of a performance

Q

What are the disadvantages of video analysis?

A
  1. The highest-quality are still very expensive
  2. Can be time-consuming
  3. Doesn’t provide numerical data
  4. Sometimes qualitative and subjective data
  5. High level of experience and knowledge is needed to maximise data and quality of videos

Q

What is a notational analysis example?

A
  1. Time in possession of the ball
  2. Successful passes
  3. Shots on goal
    Heat maps can be used
17
Q

What method of analysis is used analyse to technical performance?

A
  1. Biomechanical analysis
18
Q

What is biomechanical analysis?

A

It is when you analyse the physical performance of a skill.

19
Q

What is an example of biomechanical analysis?

A
  1. A gymnastics vault
  2. Slide tackle
  3. Free throw shot
20
Q

What factors affect a a coaches perception?

A
  1. Favouritism
  2. Unconscious bias
  3. Coaches relationship with the player
  4. Past experiences
  5. Knowledge
21
Q

What are the methods of analysis?

A
  1. Individual or team assessments
  2. Real time analysis
  3. Computer technology
  4. Video analysis
22
Q

What are used for computer technology analysis?

A
  1. GPS

2. Heart rate monitors

23
Q

What are lab based fitness tests?

A

Requires specialist technology and machinery to undertake and analyse results. They provide a DIRECT measure of fitness and results are very accurate.

24
Q

What is an example of lab based fitness tests?

A

VO2 max testing - gas analysis

25
Q

What are field based fitness tests?

A

They allow fitness tests to be performed on a wider scale. They provide an INDIRECT measure of fitness tests. So lack the same level of reliability and accuracy in results.

26
Q

Advantages of field based fitness tests?

A
  • Cheap, quick and simple
  • Limited specialist equipment is required
  • Results can be compared to norms.
  • Multiple people can be tested at the same time
27
Q

Example of field based fitness tests?

A
  • Flexibility : sit and reach
  • Cardiovascular endurance : MSFT
  • Agility : Illinois agility test
  • Balance : stork stand
28
Q

What is aerobic capacity?

A

‘The ability to take in, transport and utilise oxygen to sustain aerobic or sub-maximal exercise’

29
Q

What is VO2 max?

A

‘The maximum volume of oxygen that can be consumed and utilise by the body’

30
Q

How do you test for VO2 max?

A
  • Gas analysis
  • MSFT
  • Cooper 12 minute run
  • (Hazard) step test
31
Q

Factors affecting VO2 max?

A
  • Age - muscles diminish with age
  • Genetics - ability passed down from parents
  • Gender (larger respiratory organs)
  • levels of fitness
  • Respiratory function
32
Q

What is lactate threshold?

A

‘The point at which a performer can exercise without lactate accumulating in the blood’. The point at which OBLA is reached

33
Q

What does OBLA stand for?

A

OBLA - Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation

34
Q

What does a high VO2 max indicate?

A

It indicates a high lactate threshold.
