Aerobic Power

Maximum rate of energy production from the aerobic energy and a higher aerobic power allows an athlete to better produce ATP under aerobic conditions.

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.

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. Referred to as stats and completed during direct observation or using different technologies.

Movement Patterns

Typical movements completed by a performer during a game or activity, locomotor movements showing how and where a player has moved across a playing space.

GPS Tracking

Individual players wear devices to record data to indicate movement patterns and efforts throughout the playing period.

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.
1:5 and above- ATP-CP
1:3-1:4- Anaerobic Glycolysis
1:1-2:1- Aerobic

Pre-Program testing

Collecting data to set benchmarks, identifying strengths and weaknesses.

During program testing

Evaluating the effectiveness of the trainign 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 for sporting situation testing such as, aims, methods and safeguards for testing.

Informed Consent

Must outline that a participant can withdraw their consent at any time, outline specific uses, requires participants to disclose an injury, and outline risks.

Validity

Degree to which a test, measurement or assessment tool 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.
