is power a direct or indirect method for ESD - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-both!
Direct=meter on a bike
Indirect = time to complete task
Creates a goal for next week -
Circuits - # of rounds completed
The drill is the coach- athlete decides - ownership
Goals
Short term E system: 10 secs get 50 ft
Signal processing systems - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-Fusionsport smart system - knows the arm-
body-arm beam break
Factors in which beams are broken and for how long
Helps capture slight changes.
Reactive agility test (RAT) - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-(pure reaction not decision making)
Respond dynamically to coach
Elite athletes are 5% faster than lower level athletes (slower by 2%, so translates to overall
7% faster)
True translation to sport
Flaw: using another human for test - introduces reliability and validity concerns (not
consistent)
,EXOS uses smart speed capacity with a light and sound stimulus
Y set-up with about 45 degree cuts (3-4 cuts R and L)
1 yd behind gate start
Triggered in 45 ms = faster than human reaction time
Also have the athlete go through a non-reactive version
Non reactive agility test without timing system best non-reactive agility for symmetry (COD =
change of direction speed - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-505
side to side difference of (%) in agility test is indicative of injury risk - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-
Injury risk >15% (data from hopping and isokinetic)
(E.g. post ACL: may be symmetrical in other test BUT not with reactive (apprehension - low
confidence in ability)
Reactive agility provides one of the most robust ways to assess return to play)
40 yd dash (set up for 20-30 yds of deceleration) - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-compare to norm data
Yo-Yo IRT
(intermittent recovery test)
(ESD) - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-ramping" shuttle run back and forth cued by a beep at increasing
speeds
Distance: 20 m
Termination: 2 consecutive failed test
baseline
, Run for 30 sec - 10 sec rest with ramping speed by +0.5 km/h during each stage
Distance: 40 m
Termination: 3 consecutive fails
•baseline
•VIFT (velocity for IFT) helps determine training zone - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-30-15 IFT
(intermittent Fitness Test)
(ESD)
MAS
(maximal anaerobic sprint) - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-Given 5 min how far can one go
Cue for sprint speed: "go get it"
•baseline
• training zones:
Easy = 70-100%
Mod = 100-120%
Hard 120-140%
Sprint = 140-150%
RAST
(repeated anaerobic sprint test) - ✔✔✔ ANSWER-6 max efforts with 10 min rest
Distance: 20/30/40yds based on sport
