What is the purpose of Activity analysis?
AND
What 5 pieces of information can be found/used after performing an Activity analysis?
Aims to gather sports-specific physiological data through a record of performance via viewing/recording an athlete
- Energy system contribution
- Major Fitness components used
- Major muscles groups used in performance
- Skill frequencies
- Work to rest ratios/Different intensities used
What are 4-5 possible Physiological considerations?
What is the individual’s current fitness levels?
Does the individual have any current or previous health issues?
What is the individual’s current training/event schedule?
What are the physiological requirements of the individual’s sport?
Are the environmental conditions suitable for the testing process to be completed safely?
What are 4 possible Psychological considerations?
What level of self-efficacy and/or insecurity does an individual have w/ regard to PA?
How will poor results impact an individual’s wellbeing + confidence?
Is the individual comfortable completing the testing battery in a group situation/setting?
Does the individual understand the purpose of the testing battery?
What are 4-5 possible Sociocultural considerations?
Is it culturally appropriate to be conducting the testing?
Is mixed-gender group fitness testing appropriate in the setting?
Have the most age-appropriate tests been included in the fitness test battery?
Will the individual’s SES restrict the availability of tests?
Are the tests practical for large groups?
List the 5 Fitness testing AIMS
List the 4 Fitness testing PROTOCOLS
Determine team roles
Determine strengths + weaknesses
Establish baseline (comparison for future results)
Assess cardiovascular risk
Predict athlete potential
————————————————
- Informed consent
- Validity
- Reliability
- Accuracy
Define
- Validity
- Reliability
- Accuracy
VALIDITY - Is the test measuring what it claims to be measuring
RELIABILITY - Will thee chosen test produce consistent results - if the process is replicated?
ACCURACY - The testing process must stringently follow protocols to ensure accuracy
What is Informed consent?
Forms that participants complete to acknowledge the nature/purpose of the tests they’re undertaking
- Explains the fitness test
- Explains the potential risks + testing benefits
- Confidentiality assurance
- How the results will be used
What are Pre-participation health screening (PAR-Qs) AND why are they important?
A questionnaire that determines an athlete’s readiness for fitness testing or an exercise program
Identifies those with a known disease/condition or those who may display symptoms - determines whether its safe for the individual + whether modifications need to be made
