relative risk - CORRECT ANSWER what do morbidity and mortality give an idea of
!. Educate participants about present fitness status relative to health-related standards and
age- and sex-matched norms
2. Provide data that helps in the development of individualized exercise prescriptions to
address health and fitness components
3. Collect baseline and follow-up data that enables evaluation of progress
4. Motivate participants by establishing reasonable and attainable goals
5. assess athletic talent - CORRECT ANSWER What are the reasons for assessing
fitness and performance?
the definitive or true measure - CORRECT ANSWER What does gold standard refer to
1. Expensive equipment

ANSWER What are reasons why the gold standard test(s) may not be used?
other tests may be used to estimate the variable of interest - CORRECT ANSWER If
the gold standard test cannot be used, what can be done instead
level of inaccuracy - CORRECT ANSWER when using other tests instead of the gold
standard test what can this lead to
When expressing a measurement value from an estimation-type test, the value should include
the error range - CORRECT ANSWER What is standard deviation and standard error
of estimate
,To ensure the accuracy of the reading, the device must be calibrated prior to the testing
session and properly adjusted to produce an accurate reading - CORRECT
ANSWER Why is equipment calibration important
reduces or eliminates the sources of variability - CORRECT ANSWER Why is
applying uniform standards important

group of experts - CORRECT ANSWER What do criterion-referenced standards refer
to
Comparison made between the participant's performance and the performance of similar
individuals - CORRECT ANSWER what does normative standards refer to
normative - CORRECT ANSWER is normative or criterion standard used more
validity - CORRECT ANSWER Degree to which a test or test item measures what it
issupposed to measure
construct validity - CORRECT ANSWER The ability of a test to represent the
underlying construct (the theory developed to organize and explain some aspects of existing
knowledge and observations).
criterion-referenced validity - CORRECT ANSWER the extent to which test scores are
associated with some other measure of the same ability
predictive validity - CORRECT ANSWER the extent to which test score forecasts
future behaviors or performance
Face validity - CORRECT ANSWER appearance to the participant and other casual
observers that the test measures what it is purported to measure
, Content validity - CORRECT ANSWER assessment by experts that the test covers all
relevant subtopics or component abilities in appropriate proportions
Concurrent validity - CORRECT ANSWER the extent to which test are associated with
those of other accepted tests measuring the same ability
Discriminant validity - CORRECT ANSWER ability of a test to distinguish between
two different constructs
reliability - CORRECT ANSWER measures the degree of consistency or repeatability
of a test
1. intrasubject variability
2. interrater reliability or agreement
3. intrarater variability
4 failure of the test to provide consistent results - CORRECT ANSWER identify the
types of measurement error
Intrasubject (within subjects) variability - CORRECT ANSWER Lack of consistent
performance by the person tested
interrater (between raters) reliability or agreement - CORRECT ANSWER Lack of
degree to which different raters (one who rates) agree
Intrarater (within raters) variability - CORRECT ANSWER Lack of consistent scores
by a given tester
1. Ensure that all forms, score sheets, tables, graphs, and other testing documents are
organized and available
2. Make sure all needed equipment is working properly and calibrate any equipment needing
such to ensure accuracy
