1
Q

Aerobic capacity

A

The maximum rate at which an athlete can produce energy through the oxidation of energy sources (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) - also called aerobic power

2
Q

Aerobic power

A

The maximum rate at which an athlete can produce energy through the oxidation of energy sources (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) - also called aerobic capacity

3
Q

Agility

A

A rapid, whole-body, change of direction or speed in response to a sports-specific stimulus

4
Q

Anaerobic capacity

A

Maximal rate of energy production by the combined phosphagen and anaerobic glycolytic systems for moderate-duration activities

5
Q

Anaerobic power

A

The ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at high speed

6
Q

Anthropometry

A

The science of measurement applied to the human body

7
Q

Athletic performance

A

The ability to respond effectively to the demands of a specific sport or event

8
Q

Athletic profile

A

A group of tests related to sport-specific abilities that are important for quality performance in a sport or sport position

9
Q

Balance

A

The ability to maintain static and dynamic equilibrium or the ability to maintain the body’s center of gravity over its base of support

10
Q

Body composition

A

The relative proportion by weight of fat and lean tissue

11
Q

Central tendency

A

Values about which the data tend to cluster

12
Q

Descriptive statistics

A

Statistics that summarize or describe a large group of data

13
Q

Difference score

A

The difference between an athlete’s score at the beginning and end of a training period or between any two testing times

14
Q

Effect size

A

The difference or change in the mean score as a proportion of the pretest standard deviation

15
Q

Flexibility

A

The range of motion (ROM) about a body joint

16
Q

High-speed muscular strength

A

The ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at high speed - also known as anaerobic power

17
Q

Local muscular endurance ​

A

The ability of certain muscles or muscle groups to perform repeated contractions against submaximal resistance

18
Q

Low-speed muscular strength

A

The maximum force a muscle or muscle group can exert in one maximal effort while maintaining proper form

19
Q

Magnitude statistics

A

Statistics that allow interpretation of the clinical significance of fitness testing such as the smallest worthwhile change and effect size

20
Q

Maximal anaerobic muscular power

A

The ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at high speed - also known as anaerobic power

21
Q

Mean

A

The average of the scores - the most commonly used measure of central tendency

22
Q

Median

A

The middlemost score when a set of scores is arranged in order of magnitude - half of the group falls above and half below the median score

23
Q

Mode

A

The score that occurs with the greatest frequency - requires at least two equal value scores - generally the least useful measure of central tendency

24
Q

Percent change

A

The relative percent increase or decrease in performance based on initial testing

25
Q

Percentile rank

A

The percentage of test-takers scoring below the individual being ranked

26
Q

Range

A

The interval of lowest to the highest score

27
Q

Smallest worthwhile change

A

The ability of a test to detect the smallest practically important change in performance

28
Q

Speed

A

Movement distance per unit of time

29
Q

Stability

A

A measure of the ability to return to the desired position following a disturbance to the system

30
Q

Standard deviation

A

A measure of the variability of scores around a mean - SD = √(Σ(x-▁x)²/(n-1))

31
Q

Statistics

A

The science of collecting, classifying, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data

32
Q

Variability

A

The degree of dispersion of scores within a group. Includes range and standard deviation
