Answer 4

validity

Question 5

what is construct validity

Answer 5

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.

Answer 17

concurrent validity

what is discriminant validity

Answer 18

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.

Question 19

what does mean when a test is reliable

Answer 19

is a measure of the degree of consistency or repeatability of a test.

Question 20

do a test need to be reliable to be valid

Answer 20

yes However, a reliable test may not be valid because it may not measure what it is supposed to measure.

Question 21

factors that produce measurement error

Answer 21

Intrasubject variability
Lack of interrater reliability or agreement
Intrarater variability
Failure of the test itself to provide consistent results.

Question 22

source of interrupter differences

Answer 22

Variations in the:
calibration of testing devices,
preparation of athletes,
administration of the test.

Question 23

source of intrarater error

Answer 23

Unintentional leniency.
Inadequate training.
Inattentiveness.
Lack of concentration.
Failure to follow standardized procedures for:
Testing-device calibration,
Athlete preparation,
Test administration, or
Test scoring.

Question 24

what need to be consider in experience and training statue of an athlete

Answer 24

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.

Question 25

does age and sex affect validity and reliability of a test

Answer 25

yes

Question 26

impact of High Ambient Temperature + High Humidity on test reliability

Answer 26

can impair endurance exercise performance.
can lower the validity of aerobic endurance tests.
can pose health risks.

Question 27

impact of altitude on test

Answer 27

can impair performance on aerobic endurance tests.
does not impair performance on tests of strength and power.

Question 28

does altitude impair performance on aerobic endurance test

Answer 28

yes

Question 29

does altitude impaire performance on test of strength and power

Answer 29

no

Question 30

The Strength & Conditioning Professional must do what for health and safety

Answer 30

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

Question 31
