Which of the following tests assesses the low-speed strength of an experienced, well-trained collegiate rower?
a. 1 RM back squat b. Wingate Test c. Margaria-Kalamen test d. 1RM power clean |

|
|
Maximal strength test usually involve what?
|
low-speed muscular strength (2-4 seconds)
|
|
it is related to the ability of muscle tissue to exert high force while contracting at a high speed
|
maximal anaerobic muscular power (high-speed muscular strength) OR Anaerobic power tests
ex: 1RM of explosive exercises=snatch, power clean, push jerk (1 second) vertical jump, stair case sprint test |
|
the maximal rate of energy production by the combined PH and LA energy systems for moderate-duration activities (max power output during muscular activity between 30-90 sec)
|
anaerobic capacity
|
|
Anaerobic capacity is quantified as the maximal power output achieved during activity lasting
|
30-90 seconds
|
|
the ability of certain muscles or muscle groups to perform repeated contractions against a submaximal resistance (performed in a continuous manner for several sec-minutes)
EX: max chin-ups or push ups or fixed load resistance lift of 1RM |
local muscular endurance
|
|
the max rate at which an athlete can produce energy through oxidation of energy resources (carb, fat, protein)
|
aerobic capacity or aerobic power
|
|
aerobic capacity is generally expressed as?
|
volume of O2 consumed per kg of weight per minute
|
|
Which of the following is a test for aerobic power?
a. 1RM Power Clean b. Vertical jump c. T-test d. 1.5 mile run |

|
|
the ability to stop, start, and change the direction of the body or body parts rapidly and in a controlled manner

agility
|
|
movement distance per unit time
it is typically quantified as the time taken to cover a fixed distance |
speed
|
|
tests of speed are not conducted over distances greater than?
|
200m
because longer distances reflect anaerobic/aerobic capacity rather than absolute ability to move the body at max speed |

|
|
flexibility measurements are more reliable when what precedes the assessment?
|
standardized warm up and static stretching
|
|
usually refers to the relative proportions by weight of fat and lean tissue

body composition
|
|
the science of measurement applied to the human body
generally includes measurements of ht, wt, and body girths |
anthropometry
|
|

Crossing Feet
|
|

Hamstrings
erector Spinae lumbar spine |
|
What is the correct arm position when measuring the girth of the upper arm?
|
shoulder abducted to 90 degrees with elbow extended
|
|

|
|
When compiling results from the volleyball team’s vertical jump testing, the strength and conditioning professional notices that most scores are similar, but there are three scores that are much higher than the rest. Which of the following measures of central tendency is most appropriate for this group?
a. Mean b. Median c. Mode d. Variance |
Median
|
|
the difference between an athlete's score at the beginning and end of a training period or between any two separate testing times
|
difference score
|
|
summarizes or describes a large group of data
its used when all the info about a population is known has 3 categories of numerical measurement: central tendency, variability, percentile rank |
descriptive statistics
|
|
measures are values about which the data tend to cluster
|
central tendency
3 most common measures: mean, median, mode |
|
mean
|
the avg of scores
(most common measure of central tendency) |
|
median
|
the middlemost score when a set of scores is arranged in order of magnitude (w/even # of scores, the median is the avg of the two middlemost scores)
*it measures central tendency better than mean (when extreme high or low scores exist) |
|
mode
|
the score that occurs with the greatest frequency
|
|
variability
|
the degree of dispersion of scores within a group
(range/SD) |
|
range
|
the interval from the lowest to highest score
advantage is that its easy to understand, disadv. only uses 2 extreme scores |
|
standard deviation (SD)
|
a measure of the variability of a set of scores about the mean
useful when a group of scores is 'normally distributed (bell shape curve) |
|
the percentage of test takers scoring below that individual
|
percentile rank
|
|
A strength and conditioning professional can use sit and reach test to determine the flexibility of which of the following muscle groups?
I. Hip extensors II. Hip flexors III. Spinal erectors IV. Hip abductors |
hip extensors and spinal erectors
|
|
the warm up for any flexibility test should never include what?
|
ballistic exercises
|
