Q

what is reliability ?

A

the ability of a test to yield consistent and stable scores with repeated measures

23
Q

the following is for validity or reliability ?

  • does the test measure what it is supposed to ?
  • does the test give the same value as other tests ?
  • does the test capture all aspects of what is measuring ?
  • does the test seem like it captures what it is intended to ?
A

validity

24
Q

the following is for validity or reliability ?

  • inter-rater: how likely will two people using the tool/technique measure the same value
  • intra-rater: how likely will an individual get the same value if they use the tool/technique multiple times
A

reliability

25
Q

what should you ask yourself when selecting a measure for a fitness assessment ?

A
  • what do you want to measure
  • what do you want to do with the results
  • is this test valid
26
Q

what should I be able to do when selecting a measure for a fitness assessment ?

A
  • conduct this test effectively on particular clients
27
Q

anthropometry measures of the size, shape, and composition of the body by :

A
  • height
  • weight
  • body mass index (BMI)
  • circumference
28
Q

what is body maze index ?

A
  • ratio between height and weight
  • strong predictor of health risk
29
Q

how do you calculate BMI ?

A

mass (kg) / height (m)^2

30
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

anthropometry does not discriminate fat mass and fat-free males

A

TRUE

31
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

females have more body fat than males

A

TRUE

32
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

older individuals have m ore body fat than young

A

TRUE

33
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

distribution of fat matters

A

TRUE

34
Q

is visceral (abdominal) fat linked to poor health outcomes in comparison to overall fat ?

A

yes

35
Q

greater risk for males at :

A

102 cm

36
Q

greater risk for females at :

A

88 cm

37
Q

combined ability of the heart, lungs, and musculature to take in, deliver, and utilize oxygen for energy transduction

A

cardiorespiratory aerobic fitness

38
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

force a muscle or muscle group exert in one maximal effort

A

TRUE

39
Q

what is muscular strength usually quantified as ?

A

1-rep max (1RM)

40
Q

what is 1-rep max ?

A

the greatest load that an befitted through the full ROM one time

41
Q

what is a multi-RM test ?

A

complete multiple repititions of less weight to predict maximum

42
Q

what is muscular power ?

A

the ability of a muscle or muscle group to generate force while shortening

43
Q

what is muscular power most commonly measured by ?

A

dynamic movements

44
Q

what are some examples of dynamic movement ?

A

vertical jump, standing broad jump

45
Q

what is muscular endurance ?

A

ability of muscles or muscle groups to perform repeated or sustained contractions

46
Q

define muscle group specific ?

A

single, multi-joint or complex movement

47
Q

how is balance most commonly measured ?

A

with time until balance is lost, or distance a limb can reach

48
Q

how is muscle endurance measured ?

A

performing exercise to failure

49
Q

how is flexibility measured ?

A

can be measured directly any a joint Ising goniometer, or more indirectly with tests like sit-and-reach

50
Q

what is health benefit rating ?

A

assessment data can be tied to establish baselined effectively track press

51
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

health benefit rating can also be used for quantifying health risk/status or fitness

A

TRUE

52
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

clients will have widely varied gals related to health fitness or performance

A

TRUE

53
Q

assessments you select for a client should include what ?

A
  • be based on their health, fitness, or performance goals
  • be appropriate for their ability
  • be reliable and valid
  • provide you with useful information
