Q

Define concurrent validity

A

Refers to another criterion-related validity.

16
Q

How is observed score calculated?

A

True score + error score

17
Q

What is the true score?

A

Portion reflecting task perf

18
Q

What is the error score?

A

Portion due to factors other than true ability

i.e wind speed

19
Q

What can the performer do to improve validity + reliability of tests carried out?

A

No training on day of testing

Test at same time of day on each consecutive testing occasions to red inevitable biological variance

Familiarisation

No smoking or alcohol on day of test, even 2 days before.

Avoid excess amounts of tea + coffee (no more than 2 cups)

Ensure perf wears similar footwear + clothing on each occasion.

20
Q

What can the administration do to improve validity + reliability of tests carried out?

A

Under same env cond

Same social conditions

Same test protocol

Make warm up test specific

Correct technique

Practise test trials

Test completion i.e stopping perf when they’ve missed 2 consecutive shuttles on the 20m shuttle run test.

21
Q

What are the recommended env cond in which to carry out a test?

A

18-22 degrees

Rel humidity less than 60%

22
Q

What can be done to improve validity + reliability of tests carried out in relation to intrumentation?

A

Ensure familiarity w/ set up of test equip

Carefully calibrate any test instrumentation

Ensure spare batteries, membranes for ultrasound devices…

23
Q

What can be done to improve validity + reliability of tests carried out in relation to test delivery?

A

Make sure you know exactly how to measure or score each test

Dont score generously due to wanting perf to perform well

Report scores to the precision of whole testing procedure

24
Q

What are the main ways to look at testing errors?

A

Coefficient of variance (CV)

Confidence level

Objectivity

25
Q

TESTING ERRORS

Coefficient of variance

A

Observed score doesn’t necessarily equal a true score which occurs w/in a range dependent on the reliability of that test.

26
Q

TESTING ERRORS

Confidence level

A

Used in conjunction w. CV

Predicts chances of making an incorrect interpretation about test score.

27
Q

What are the tests to measure agility?

A

Illinois

505 Test

T test

Zig-Zag tests

Reactive Agility test

RAS test

28
Q

How is agility improved?

A

Strength training lowered time to complete football specific test.

Circuit training improves agility + anaerobic endurance.

Plyometric training - 8 weeks

Agility training

29
Q

ICCs (Intraclass correlation coefficient) values to categories

A
  • > 0.75-Excellent
  • 0.75-0.4 - Fair-good
  • <0.4 - Poor
