3 fundamental concepts of decision making in sports science - Answer Measurement, Test,
and Evaluation
____ the act of assessing an outcome. Usually this results in assigning a number to quantify the
amount of the characteristic being observed. For example, people self reporting the number of
days a week/minutes a week they engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. - Answer
Measurement
Physical activity could be measure with a _____ - Answer Accelerometer or pedometer
_____ tool used to make a particular measurement - Answer Test
Ways a test can be given - Answer Oral, written, physical, or mechanical
In order to determine MVPA conducted in a week, one might use _____ - Answer self-report,
direct observation (typically used in a school setting), pedometers/accelerometers (used to
determine movement)
_____ process in which we combine all available data to make decisions and/or comparisons to
the norms. Assigning qualities to the measurements, classifying them, and being able to make
predictions. And determining if the measurement is accurate - Answer Evaluations
Recommended amount of moderate-to-vigorous activity a week for adults - Answer 150
minutes
____ standards: measurements of an individual are compared to others of the same age, sex,
race, and fitness level - Answer Norm-referenced
_____ standards: not interested in how someone compares to another person, rather to a set
criterion/standard that is considered appropriate for their area. Standard is normally based on
norm-referenced data and the best judgement of experts in the content area - Answer
Criterion-refernced
, Examples of evalluation based, norm-referenced standards - Answer SAT, GRE, IQ test, and ACT
Comparing the steps to another person's is considered _____ - Answer Norm-referenced
standards
Comparing the numbers of steps to a specific minimum is a ______ - Answer Criterion-
referenced standards
_____ evaluations are initial or intermediate evaluations, such as the administration of a pre-
test and a progress report. Should occur throughout an instructional, training, or research
process. Act as a "check up" to help guide future programming of training. - Answer Formative
_____ evaluations are final observations that typically come at the end of an instructional or
training unit - Answer Summative
Example of formative evaluation - Answer Determining how much weight someone is loosing
weekly during a training program
Example of summative evalulation - Answer How much did the individual lose at the very end
of the program
Purposes of measurement, testing, and evaluation - Answer Placement, Diagnose, Prediction,
Motivation, Achievement, and Program Evaluation
_____ an initial test and evaluation allowing a professional to group students based on their
abilities. Can help to facilitate learning because groups have the same starting point. - Answer
Placement
_____ Evaluation of test results, often used to determine weakness or deficiencies. Cardiologists
administers treadmill stress test to obtain exercise electrocardiograms of cardiac patients -
Answer Diagnose
_____ predict future events or results from present or past data. For example, your test scores
can be viewed as predictors of your future success in college - Answer Prediction
