Q

Identify FOUR reasons behind of fitness testing?

A
  1. To assess an individual’s fitness level and identify areas of stregths and areas for improvement.
  2. Can help towards designing individualised training programmes
  3. To establish a baseline for future comparisons / highlight progression
  4. Set goals - incentive to improve, motivation and achievement.
  5. Identify talent – potential athletes (talent ID). Baseline tests are used to get initial
    information
  6. Give the coach info for team selection AND position selection

TWO examples of field-based tests to assess agility are?
1. Illinois Agility Test 2. 5-0-5 Agility Test.
43
Balance is...
The ability to **maintain** the centre of mass over the **base of support**, whether stationary or moving...
44
Co-ordination is...
is the ability to move two or more body parts at the **same time **(simultaneously), smoothly and efficiently.
45
Reaction Time is...
This is the time taken from **detection **of a stimulus to **initiation** of a response/movement.
46
Speed is...
The ability to move the body or body parts as quickly as possible from A to B / over a set distance.
47
Power is...
It is a combination of strength and speed (strength x speed) AND the ability to exert maximum force in the shortest possible time / **as quickly as possible** (in an explosive movement)
48
