|
refers to the degree to which a test or test item measures what it's supposed to measure; the most important characteristic of training
|
validity
|
|
|
what are the types of validity
|
construct
face content criterion-referenced |
|
|
To maximize the validity of the sit and reach test, the athlete should?
A. not stretch the quadriceps before the test B. not stretch the hamstrings before the test C. warm up before the |
warm up before the test
|
|
|
construct validity
|
the ability of a test represent the underlying construct
-refers to overall validity (test measures what it is designed to measure) |
|
|
face validity
|
the appearance to the athlete and other causal observers that the test measures what it's purported to measure
assessment is informal and nonquantitative |
|
|
content validity
|
The assessment by experts that the testing covers all relevant subtopics or component abilitites in appropriate proportions
(componnet abilities needed for a particular sport or position) ie jumping ability, sprinting ability, muscular strength |
|
|
Which of the following tests are the MOST sport-specific to women’s collegiate field hockey?
I. T-test II. 40-yard (37-m) sprint III. 1.5 mile (2.4km) run IV. 12 minute run |
40 yard sprint
T-Test |
|
|
criterion-reference validity
|
extent to which test scores are associated with some other measure of the same ability
3 types: concurrent, predictive, discriminant |
|
|
concurrent validity
(type of criterion-reference validity) |
extent to which test scores are associated with those of other accepted tests that measure the same ability
(convergent v=is a type and is the gold standard) |
|
|
predictive validity
type of criterion-reference validity |
extent to which the test score corresponds with future behavior/performancescore
measured through a comparison of a test score with a measure of success in sport |
|
|
discriminant validity
type of criterion-reference validity |
the ability of a test to distinguish btw 2 different constructs and is evidenced by a low correlation btw the results
|
|
|
reliability
|
measure of the degree of consistency or repeatability of a test
test must be reliable to be valid |
|
|
factors of measurement error
|
intrasubject variability- within person tested
interrater reliability (agreement)- between raters intrarater variability- with in rater failure of test itself |
|
|
Test Selection
|
it is best for test to simulate the physical movements and energy demands of a real game
|
|
|
when selecting/using a test consider:
|
experience & training status, age/sex, environmental factors as well as metabolic energy system of sport and physical movements of sport
|
|
|
Which of the following guidelines is the most important to follow when planning to administer an aerobic endurance test in the heat?
A. have the athletes fill out a waiver before conducting test B. measure the relative humidity and air temperature before testing C. allow athletes to acclimatize to the heat 1 hour before testing D. eliminate the warm-up prIor to performing the test |
measure the relative humidity and air temperature before testing
|
|
|
What procedures should be followed when testing an athlete’s cardiovascular fitness in the heat EXCEPT
|
perform the test in an indoor facility.
schedule the test in the morning. drink fluids during the test. |
|
|
what is the sequence of test order
|
1. nonfatiguing tests
2. agility 3. max power and strength 4. sprint test 5. local muscular endurance 6. fatiguing anaerobic capacity (400m) aerobic capacity (1.5 mile or 12 min run) |
|
|
When measuring maximal strength of an American football lineman, which of the following could potentially adversely affect the test-retest reliability of the results?
I. using multiple testers II. retesting at a different time of day III. an athlete’s inexperience with the tested exercise IV. using an established testing protocol |
retesting at a different time of day
an athlete's inexperience with the tested exercise |
|
|
Which of the following sequences will produce the most reliable results?
1. T-Test 2. 1RM incline bench test 3. 1RM power clean 4. 1-minute sit-up test |
T-test
power clean incline bench 1 min sit up |
|
|
Which of the following tests should be completed prior to performing a muscular power test using this exercise?

Which of the following tests should most preferably be administered on a separate
day? A. body weight measurement B. 440-yd (400-m) run C. skinfold measurements D. 12-minute run/walk |
