Aerobic Power

Maximum rate of energy production from the aerobic energy.

Anaerobic Capacity

The total amount of energy obtainable from the anaerobic energy systems.

Muscular Strength

The peak force that a muscle can develop.

Muscular Power

The ability of a muscle or group of muscle to exert a maximum amount of force in the shortest time period.

Muscular Endurance

The ability of a muscle or a group of muscles to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time.

Speed

The rate of motion.

Agility

Combination of speed and balance, allows performer to change direction with maximal speed and control.

Flexibility

The range of motion around a joint.

Balance

The ability of a body to remain in a state of equilibrium while performing a desired task.

Coordination

Ability to use different body parts together smoothly and efficiently.

Aerobic Power Factors

Sex- Males generally have a higher aerobic power than females.

Anaerobic Capacity Factors

Lactate Tolerance- The greater a persons lactate tolerance, the greater their anaerobic capacity.

Factors Affecting Muscular Strength and Power

Speed of muscle contraction- The more slowlt a muscle contracts the more force it can create.
Warm-up- Warmed up muscles have greater ability to create strength than cooler muscles.

Factors Affecting Muscular Endurance

Muscle fibre type- Greater percentage of slow twitch fibres increases muscular endurance.

Factors Affecting Speed and Agility

Reaction Time- The faster the reaction time, the greater the speed.

Age- As age increases, agility and speed decrease.

Factors Affecting Flexibility

Sex- FEmales are generally more flexible than men.

Factors of Balance

Muscular Strength- The lower the muscular strength, results in less balance.

Factors of Coordination

Stage of Learning- Increases in coordinationas learners move from cognitive to autonomous.

Activity Analysis

The recording or analysis of movement and skill data from a game, sport or activity.

Data Collection

The process of gathering information.

Direct Observation

Subjective, common method but low accuracy and involves someone watching.

Digital Recording

Statistics, analysed during or after the event but is more accurate.

Skill Frequency Tables

Number of times common skills are executed during a set time frame.

Movement Patterns

Typical movements completed by a performer during a game or activity.

GPS Tracking

Individual players wear devices to record data to indicate movement patterns and efforts.

Heart Rate Analysis

Provide information on efforts such as intensity, and can be used as an example of energy expenditure.

Work to Rest Ratio Analysis

Comparison of total time spent working against the total time spent resting.

Pre-Program testing

Collecting data to set benchmarks, identifying strengths and weaknesses.

During program testing

Evaluating the effectiveness of the training program.

Post-program testing

Review benchmarks and revaluate effectivetiveness of the training program.

Test Protocols

Participants should be clearly informed about the nature of the fitness.

Informed Consent

Must outline that a participant can withdraw their consent at any time.

Validity

Degree to which a test accurately measures what it claims to measure.

Reliability

Consistency and dependability of measurements, tests, or assessments used to evaluate.

Accuracy

Precision of measurements, observations or actions.
