Chapter 13 Flashcards
(25 cards)
What is the T-test used to assess?
Agility, especially lateral and linear movement.
How is the 1RM bench press test performed?
By finding the maximum weight an athlete can lift once with proper form.
What does the vertical jump test measure?
Lower body power.
What is the 40-yard dash used for?
Assessing acceleration and maximal sprinting speed.
How is the pro agility (5-10-5) test structured?
Sprint 5 yards right, 10 yards left, then 5 yards back right.
What is the purpose of the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test?
To assess aerobic and anaerobic endurance.
How is the Margaria-Kalamen test conducted?
Sprint up stairs three at a time to measure power.
What is the 300-yard shuttle test?
Repeated sprints between 25-yard lines to assess anaerobic capacity.
What is body composition?
The relative amounts of fat and lean tissue in the body.
What are common ways to assess body composition?
Skinfold measurements, BIA, hydrostatic weighing, DEXA.
What is the sit-and-reach test?
A flexibility test primarily for hamstrings and lower back.
What is the difference between validity and reliability in testing?
Validity = accuracy; Reliability = consistency.
How is flexibility typically measured?
Using goniometers, sit-and-reach tests, or movement assessments.
What is the role of a spotter during 1RM testing?
To ensure safety and assist if the athlete cannot complete the lift.
Why are warm-up sets important in 1RM testing?
To prepare the athlete and reduce injury risk.
What is the best way to estimate VO2max in field tests?
Using timed distance runs or step tests.
How is relative strength calculated?
Absolute strength divided by body weight.
What is the difference between absolute and relative strength?
Absolute = total force produced; Relative = force relative to body mass.
What are normative scores?
Reference values used to compare an athlete’s results to population averages.
What factors should be consistent across testing sessions?
Time of day, warm-up, surface, instructions, and equipment.
What is a non-fatiguing test example?
Height, weight, vertical jump.
What tests follow non-fatiguing tests in the recommended order?
Agility, maximum strength/power, sprints, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity.
What are common tests for muscular endurance?
Push-up test, sit-up test, or repetition-based lifts.
How is anaerobic capacity typically tested?
Using the 300-yard shuttle or Wingate anaerobic test.
