KNES 351 Exam 1 questions with correct answers
reliability Correct Answer--measure of the degree of consistency or
repeatability of a test
-must be reliable to be valid
validity Correct Answer--degree to which a test or test item measures
what it is supposed to measure
-most important characteristic of testing
sources of error w athletic testing Correct Answer--Intrasubject
variability
-Interrater reliability
-Intrarater variability
-the test itself
intrasubject variability Correct Answer--lack of consistent performance
by person tested
Interrater reliability Correct Answer--objectivity or interrater agreement;
degree to which different raters agree
Intrarater variability Correct Answer--consistency of a given tester
"smallest worthwhile change" Correct Answer--Usefulness of a test;
change in performance greater than the natural variation of the test
,-calculated by multiplying between subject standard deviation with 0.2
or 0.5
NSCA's order of physical fitness tests Correct Answer--speed
-power
-strength
-conditioning
why does NSCA order them that way? Correct Answer--to be consistent
with testing
factors considered when conducting a needs analysis for particular sport
Correct Answer--Movement analysis
-Physiological analysis
-Injury analysis
example of sports needs analysis Correct Answer-
factors considered when conducting needs analysis for individual person
Correct Answer-• Body mass and composition
• Aerobic fitness
• Anaerobic fitness
• Muscular Strength, power, speed, agility, endurance
• Injury frequency
, Design a field testing battery for a men's rugby team incorporating at
least five assessments.
Briefly describe the important physical characteristics for this sport (i.e.
perform a needs analysis), and select assessments that could test these
characteristics. For each of your tests, state what you will be measuring.
Correct Answer-speed test: 20 meter sprint
agility test: 505 agility (change of direction)
strength test: (perform against resistance)
HIIT (aerobic test)
flexibility
Design a field testing battery for a female volleyball team incorporating
at least five assessments. Briefly describe the important physical
characteristics for this sport (i.e. perform a needs analysis), and select
assessments that could test these characteristics. For each of your tests,
state what you will be measuring. Correct Answer-strength: vertical
jump (leg power)
agility: 505 test for change of direction
aerobic: beep test (to reduce fatigue)
flexibility: sit and reach (lower back/hamst.)
core strength test for balance
how does chronological age influence how you program for a HS athlete
Correct Answer--you shouldn't just think of the development for the next
competition; you should think about development for later in life
