Week 11 Flashcards
1
Q
What makes a VO2max test valid?
A
- VO2 increases with increasing WR
- Incremental protocols elicit VO2 max
- WRpeak/time to fatigue correlate w VO2max
- WR peak on cycling test
- Time to fatigue on treadmill test
2
Q
What type of test is the beep test?
A
- Incremental step test
- End speed correlates with measured VO2max
- Valid estimate of aerobic power
3
Q
What type of test is the 30-15 IFT?
A
- Incremental
- Maximal running speed correlates with VO2max
4
Q
What type of test is the yo-yo intermittent test?
A
- Incremental test
- Distance travelled correlates with measured VO2max
5
Q
Lab 9A- power
A
- Static jump
- Countermovement vertical jump
- Standing long jump
- Seated med ball throw
- Tall kneeling medicine ball throw
6
Q
Static and countermovement vertical jump
A
- Used to assess muscular power and jump height
- Used to discriminate the effect of the strength-shortening cycle (SSC)
7
Q
What available tests measure upper bod anaerobic power
A
Seated shot put
Seated med ball throw
Upper body isokinetic testing
Upper body Wingate anaerobic test
8
Q
Upper body anaerobic Wingate test
A
- Reliable tool for assessing elite athletes’ anaerobic power and functional performance
- Assesses peak power which reflects the ability of the arms to produce a high amount of mechanical power
- Expensive, not feasible
9
Q
Overview of Yo-Yo intermittent test
A
- Assesses ability to perform high intensity exercises
- 2 x 20 meter runs back and forth btwn starting, turning and finishing line and progressively increases speed controlled by audio beeps
- Btwn each running bout the athletes have a 10 second active rest period consisting of 2 x 5-meter jogs
- Terminated when athlete fails to reach finish line in time twice
10
Q
Prediction equation from yo-yo test to predict VO2max
A
VO2max= Yo-yo IRT1 distance x 0.0084 + 36.4
