INTRO TO EXERCISE SCIENCE EXAM
4 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Two important issues to consider before testing - Correct Answers -1) to make sure that
the assessments and evaluations that are selected are valid and reliable
2) that the data being collected are specific and relevant to the information that is
required for testing
Valid & Reliable - Correct Answers -Valid- measures what it claims to measure
(accurate measurement)
Reliable- when the results from the assessment or evaluation are consistent and
reproducible (consistent measurement)
Important issues to consider and control during the assessment and evaluation process
include: - Correct Answers -1) Ensure that standardized and clear instructions are given
to subjects, patients or clients.
2) Provide sufficient practice or warm-up procedures prior to testing.
3) Make certain that the order of the assessment and evaluation items does not
influence the results.
4) Give sufficient recovery time between assessment and evaluation items.
5) Control the environmental conditions where the tests are being conducted.
Ground reaction forces - Correct Answers -the force produced by a body part when in
contact with the ground
isokinetic dynamometers - Correct Answers -used to measure force during isometric
and isokinetic movements of muscles and various body parts
when skeletal muscles contract - Correct Answers -force is generated
Fitness and functional capacity testing - Correct Answers -used to provide an objective
measure of an individuals safe functional abilities.
Diagnostic testing - Correct Answers -used to determine a specific condition or possible
illness
Tests outside lab - Correct Answers -field tests
