Q

Reasons for fitness testing

A

Identify strengths and weaknesses or athlete
Evaluate effectiveness of a training program
Measure fitness levels following injury
Assist in setting goals

21
Q

Factors that can affect test results

A
Time of day
Weather
Environment
Emotion 
Health 
Medication
Placebos
22
Q

What are the principles of fitness testing

A

Specificity
Reliability
Validity
Accuracy

23
Q

Specificity

A

The test must access the individuals fitness activity or sport in question

24
Reliability
Consistency Degree to which test is consistent and stable in measuring what it intends to measure
25
Validity
Degree the test actually measures what it claims to measure
26
Accuracy
With validity and reliability but covers accuracy to which measurements are recorded
27
Advantages field testing
Specific to sport | Conducted in sport environment
28
Disadvantages to field testing
Environment can alter test results | Much planning in test administration
29
Advantages lab testing
Controlled environment Sports specific equipment Simulate sport demand
30
Disadvantages lab testing
Not accessible | Not conducted i. Sport environment
31
What is a sub maximal test
Athlete works below maximum effort and dats is extrapolated to estimate maximum capacity
32
Advantage sub maximal testing
Prevents injury and over exertion
33
Maximal testing
Athlete works at maximum effort to exhaustion
34
Advantage maximal
Measures can be more accurate
35
Disadvantage maximal
Risk of injury Difficult to ensure athlete working max effort Depends on athletes motivation
36
Tests for aerobic capacity
Beep test Coopers 12 min run Harvard step test
37
Test flexibility
Sit and reach
38
Test muscular endurance
Max sit-ups Max push-ups Flexed arm hang
39

47
Essential elements to a training program
``` Warm up Endurance training Resistance training Flexibility training Cool down Incorporation rec ```
48
Warm up
Prepares body for exercise and prevents injury
49
Benefits of a warm up
Increases heart rate Increases oxygen up take Reduces muscle stiffness Increases speed of contraction and relaxation
50
Stages of a proper warm up
Increase body temp to facilitate blood delivery to working muscles Dynamic stretch Sport specific related drill work on enormous cult mechanisms
