KINS 4400 EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
ergogenic aids - CORRECT ANSWERS are substances, devices, and phenomena that truly
enhance athletic performance
all valid ergogenic aids must work by changing what? - CORRECT ANSWERS physiology
what are the individual ABCS of psychology? - CORRECT ANSWERS Affect, behavior, and
cognition
what is quiet eye? - CORRECT ANSWERS quiet eyes is the duration that the eye focuses on
a specific target
What are the four considerations in using ergogenic aids? - CORRECT ANSWERS legal,
safe, ethical, and effective
F tier on evidence grade scale - CORRECT ANSWERS F is an expert option only; no
published research evidence
D tier on evidence grade scale - CORRECT ANSWERS low quality studies (poor research
design, small samples, flawed outcome measure, other key biases)
c tier on evidence grade - CORRECT ANSWERS multiple high-quality correlational studies:
cross-sectional or prospective cohort
b tier on evidence grade scale - CORRECT ANSWERS one high-quality randomized
controlled trial (RCT) with a positive outcome
, A tier on the evidence grade scale - CORRECT ANSWERS consensus of topic experts and a
large body of strong evidence
strong evidence = meta-analyses of many high-quality RCT's with consistent results
minimum evidence = 2 RCTs with a positive outcome
most studies in kinesiology are what? - CORRECT ANSWERS correlational or experimental
correlational research - CORRECT ANSWERS goal: assess relationships quantitatively
Advantage: can be used to make accurate predictions
disadvantage: cannot infer causal relationships
experimental research - CORRECT ANSWERS goal: assess if changing one variable (IV)
causes a change in another (DV)
advantage: can conclude casual relationships
disadvantage: not all important variables can be controlled so more experiments is best
who created flow in sports - CORRECT ANSWERS mihaly csiskszentmihalyi
what type of scatterplot is this - CORRECT ANSWERS positive linear relationship (r= 1.0)
what type of scatter plot is this - CORRECT ANSWERS negative relationship (r= -1.0)
pearson correlation strong - CORRECT ANSWERS r >=.50
moderate - CORRECT ANSWERS r= .21-.49
