SES - Tests of relationships Flashcards
What 2 things are related to the peak power output of a 10-second cycling sprint test?
- ) Cross-sectional area of muscle.
2. ) Maximal force of the quadriceps.
Which 3 things are related to marathon time?
- ) VO2 max.
- ) Lactate threshold.
- ) Running economy.
What is the cross-sectional area of muscle in simple terms?
Muscle size.
VO2max? What is it used for?
- The maximum rate at which the heart, lungs and muscles can use oxygen during exercise.
- Measures a person’s individual aerobic capacity.
Aerobic capacity?
The highest amount of oxygen consumed during maximal exercise.
Lactate threshold?
The intensity of exercise at which lactate accumulates in the blood at a faster rate than it can be removed.
Running economy?
How much oxygen your body requires to run at a particular pace.
What is variance equivalent to?
Standard deviation squared.
Variance?
The average amount that the data varies from the mean.
Variance formula?
(xi - x)2 / no of participants - 1
We assess relationships between 2 data sets to…
…see whether the values are similar.
X - VO2max is an example equivalent to what sum?
xn - x
Y - Pmax is an example equivalent to what sum?
yn - y
To look at whether 2 variables are associated, look at whether they are…
…covary.
Covary?
When one variable deviates from the mean, does the other variable deviate from its mean in a similar way?
