Importance of fitness testing (physiological)

examination and understanding of various bodily systems and functions that influence athletic performance

• seek areas that need development

• strengths/weaknesses

• track progress

• construct effective training/check training effectiveness

• identify specific talents/positions

Test validity

Test should measure what it claims to measure

speed - max intensity and appropriate distance

anaerobic capacity - insufficient recovery to use the anaerobic system

muscular strength - max force and resistance, few reps

agility - changes of direction at max intensity

aerobic power - sufficient duration to test capacity

Test reliability

Tests should be able to be replicated with consistency and accurate conduct and measurements

• same warm up, recovery, sequence, surface, time of day, similar enviro conditions

Test accuracy

Results recorded are a true reflection of what is being tested.

Ways to increase reliability:

• specialised technology, precision of measurement/observation, increased understanding of instructions, calibration of equipment

Reasons to ensure test accuracy, reliability and validity

Feedback of tests must be interpretable and comparable, allowing participants to receive feedback on:

• what results represent

• how they compare with other results and participants in group

Aerobic power - short/sharp movements

The maximum rate of energy production from the aerobic energy system

TEST- Yo-yo intermediate recovery

Anaerobic capacity -400m

The total amount of energy obtainable from the anaerobic energy systems

TEST; Phosphate recovery test

Muscular power

The ability of a muscle/group to exert a maximum amount of force in the shortest period

TEST; seated basketball throw

Speed

Ability to move your body from one point to another, or preform a movement quickly

TEST; 20m sprint

Agility

The ability to change body position quickly while maintaining balance

TEST; semo agility

Types of data collected

Direct observation

• Practical but subjective - speed = low accuracy

Digital recording

• less practical - higher accuracy = slow, replay, pause

What kind of data was collected

• movement patterns

• HR

• W:R ratio

Movement patterns

Helpful in detecting distance and intensity of efforts = fitness components

HR analysis

helps identify intensities and roles of energy systems

W:R ratio

Summary of the time the athlete spends working and resting

• determines intensity and energy systems

• 1:5+) rest higher than work = ATP-CP

• 1:3/4 = Anaerobic glycolysis

• Similar W:R = aerobic
