principle of test selection and administration Flashcards
what are the reason for testing
Assessment of athletic talent.
Identification of physical abilities & areas in need of improvement.
Setting of realistic goals using baseline measurements.
Evaluation of progress.
Identification of physical staleness, burnout, & overtraining.
formative evaluation enable what
Enables monitoring of the athlete’s progress.
Enables adjusting the training program for the athlete’s individual needs.
Allows evaluation of different training methods.
Allows collection of normative data.
what is validity
is the degree to which a test or test item measures what it is supposed to measure.
which test quality is the degree to which a test or test item measures what it is supposed to measure
validity
what is construct validity
is the ability of a test to represent the underlying construct.
refers to overall validity, or the extent to which the test actually measures what it was designed to measure.
what is face validity
is the appearance to the athlete & other casual observers that the test measures what it is purported or supposed to measure.
The assessment of face validity is generally informal & nonquantitative
which test is generally informal and non quantitative
face validity
what is content validity
is the assessment by experts that the testing covers all relevant subtopics or component abilities in appropriate proportions.
test batterie for soccer player should include what
Sprinting speed,
Agility,
Coordination, &
Kicking power
A test developer can ensure content validity by:
listing the ability components to be assessed.
making sure the ability components are all represented on the test.
verifying that the proportion of the total score attributable to a particular component ability should be proportional to the importance of that component to total performance.
what is criterion-referenced validity
is the extent to which test scores are associated with some other measure of the same ability
which test is often estimated statistically
criterion-reference validity
what is concurrent validity
is the extent to which test scores are associated with those of other accepted tests that measure the same ability.
what is convergent validity
is evidenced by a high positive correlation between results of the test being assessed & those of the recognized measure of the construct (the “gold standard”).
is the type of concurrent validity that field tests should exhibit.
what is predictive validity
is the extent to which the test score corresponds with future behavior or performance.
can be measured by comparing a test score with some measure of success in the sport.
which test is the extent to which the test score corresponds with future behavior or performance.
can be measured by comparing a test score with some measure of success in the sport.
predictive validity
which test is the extent to which test scores are associated with those of other accepted tests that measure the same ability.
concurrent validity
what is discriminant validity
is the ability of a test to distinguish between 2 different constructs & is evidenced by a low correlation between the results of the test & those of a different construct.
what does mean when a test is reliable
is a measure of the degree of consistency or repeatability of a test.
do a test need to be reliable to be valid
yes However, a reliable test may not be valid because it may not measure what it is supposed to measure.
factors that produce measurement error
Intrasubject variability
Lack of interrater reliability or agreement
Intrarater variability
Failure of the test itself to provide consistent results.
source of interrupter differences
Variations in the:
calibration of testing devices,
preparation of athletes,
administration of the test.
source of intrarater error
Unintentional leniency.
Inadequate training.
Inattentiveness.
Lack of concentration.
Failure to follow standardized procedures for:
Testing-device calibration,
Athlete preparation,
Test administration, or
Test scoring.
what need to be consider in experience and training statue of an athlete
athlete’s ability to perform the technique.
athlete’s level of cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, speed, and power training.
the type of resistance training equipment being used by the athlete.
the type of resistance training exercise being used to test the athlete.
does age and sex affect validity and reliability of a test
yes
impact of High Ambient Temperature + High Humidity on test reliability
can impair endurance exercise performance.
can lower the validity of aerobic endurance tests.
can pose health risks.
impact of altitude on test
can impair performance on aerobic endurance tests.
does not impair performance on tests of strength and power.
does altitude impair performance on aerobic endurance test
yes
does altitude impaire performance on test of strength and power
no
The Strength & Conditioning Professional must do what for health and safety
be aware of testing conditions that can threaten the health of athletes.
be observant of signs and symptoms of health problems that warrant exclusion from testing.
remain attentive to the health status of athletes, especially before, during, and after maximal exertions
what need to be consider when selecting tester
should be well trained.
should posses a thorough understanding of all procedures & protocols.
should perform & score all tests correctly.
must have sufficient practice.
should be trained to explain & administer the tests as consistently as possible.
scoring form should
be developed before the testing session.
have space for all test results & comments.
do we allow complete recovery between trial when multiple trial of battery of test are performed
yes

what is called The process of collecting test data.
measurement
what is A test administered one or more times during the training period to assess progress and modify the program as needed to maximize benefit.
midtest
A procedure for assessing ability in a particular endeavor.
test
Periodic reevaluation based on midtests administered during the training, usually at regular intervals.
formative evaluation
The process of analyzing test results for the purpose of making decisions.
evaluation
A test administered after the training period to determine the success of the training program in achieving the training objectives.
posttest
A test used to assess ability that is performed away from the laboratory and does not require extensive training or expensive equipment.
field test
A test administered before the beginning of training to determine the athlete’s initial basic ability levels
pre test
The lack of consistent performance by the person being tested.
intrasubject variability
The lack of consistent scores by a given tester.
