Reasoning for Testing
|
Helps athletes and coaches assess athletic talent
Identify physical abilities to play the sport Find improvements, set goals, evaluate progress |
|
Test (Definition)
|
Procedure for assessing ability in a particular endeavor
|
|
Field Test
|
Test used to assess ability
Away from a laboratory Does not require extensive training |
|
Measurement
|
Collecting test data
|
|
Evaluation
|
Process of analyzing test results for purpose of making decision
|
|
Pretest
|
Test administered before beginning of training
Establish athletes initial basic ability levels |
|
Midtest
|
Test administered one or more times during training period
Assess progress Modify the program as needed |
|
Formative Evaluation
|
Periodic reevaluation based on midwest
At regular intervals |
|
Posttest
|
Test administered after training period
To determine the success of a training program |
|
Validity
|
Degree in which the Test or the Test Item measures what its supposed to
Most Important characteristic for tests |
|
Construct Validity
|
Overal Validity
Extent of which the test measure what it supposed to |
|
Face Validity
|
Appearance to the athlete (or others) that the test measures what it is supposed to
|
|
Content Validity
|
Assessment by Experts that the test covers all relevant Subtopics, Component abilities
In appropriate proportions |
|
Criterion-Referenced Validity
|
Extent to which Test Scores are associated with other measure of the same ability
|
|
Concurrent Validity
|
Extent to which test scores are Associated with those of other accepted test that measure same ability
|
|
Convergent Validity
|
Evidence by high Positive Correlation between by
- Results of the test being assessed - Those of the recognized measure of the construct (gold standard) |
|
Predictive Validity
|
Extent to which the test score corresponds with future behaviors or performance
i.e. NFL combine and if it shows a player will succeed in the NFL |
|
Discriminant Validity
|
Ability of a test to distinguish between two different constructs
Evidenced by a low correlation between the results of the test and those of Different construct |
|
Reliability
|
Measure of the degree of Consistency or Repeatability of a test
A test must be reliable to be valid |
|
Test-Retest Reliability
|
Statistical Correlation of the Scores from two different Administrations
|
|
Intrasubject Variability
|
Lack of consistent performance by the person tested
|
|
Interrater Reliability / Objectivity / Interrater Agreement
|
Degree to which different raters agree
|
|
Intrarater Variability
|
The lack of consistent scores by a given tester
|
|
Sport Specific Validity
|
Test must Emulate the
Energy Requirements (Metabolic Needs) Important Movements (Biomechanical Needs) of the sport being tested |
|
Variables of Testing Athletes
|
Athletes Experience
Training Status Age Sex Temperature Humidity Altitude S&CC must try to standardize all conditions/variables |
|
Test Battery
|
Sparate by 5 mins to prevent effects of fatigue
|
|
Sequence of Tests (Important)
|
1. Non-fatiguing tests (i.e. ht, wt, flexibility, skin fold, VERTICAL JUMP)
2. Agility 3. Max Power/Strength 4. Sprint Tests 5. Local Muscular Endurance (sit up test) 6. Fatiguing ANaerobic Capacity 7. Aerobic Capacity |
|
Warm Ups for Tests
|
General and Specific Warm Ups
Increases test's reliability |
