Ch 7 Musculoskeletal Assessment

Question 1

Maximal force (1 RM)

Answer 1

Muscular strength

Question 2

Sustained submaximal force (how long before fatigue)

Answer 2

Muscular endurance

Question 3

Force per unit of time

Answer 3

Muscular Power

Question 4

Static Strength assessment

Answer 4

Maximum voluntary contraction (MVC)
Spring loaded dynamometers
-Handgrip
-back and leg

Question 5

Dynamic strength assessment
Recommendations vs not recommended

Answer 5

Recommended - free weights, constant-resistance machines

Not recommended - variable-resistance machines

Question 6

Constant-resistance machines
Pros and COns

Answer 6

Pros
-safer than free weights
-less need for spotters
-minimize bad technique

Cons
-limit ROM
-reduce stabilizing musculature contribution
-Do not accommodate all body sizes

Question 7

Steps for 1-RM testing

Answer 7

Warm up sets
5-10 reps at 40-60% of estimated 15RM
3-5 reps at 60-80% of estimated 1-RM

Attempt 1-RM

2-4 min rest between attempts

Increase weight conservatively
5-10% upper body
10-20% lower body

Attempt until failure

Question 8

Sources of error for muscular fitness testing

Answer 8

Client, equipment, technician, environment

Question 9

Estimating 1-RM

Answer 9

inverse linear relationship between %1-RM and number of submaximal reps to failure

Question 10

Various prediction strategies for estimating 1RM

Answer 10

1-RM prediction formula
2 submaximal sets regression
Estimated from reps of YMCA bench press test
Prediction table

Question 11

Tendo

Answer 11

linear transducer (force, velocity and power)

Question 12

Myotest

Answer 12

triaxial accelerometer (force, velocity and power)

Question 13

testing 1RM upper body and lower body

Answer 13

upper body: bench press
Leg press: lower body

Question 14

1-RM/body mass

Answer 14

relative strength
