Primary Data/Central Tendency
Variable that is manipulated
What is independent variable?
The extent to which one tester gets the same results.
What is intra-rater reliability?
During exercise, heart rate is best measured here.
What is the carotid artery?
The measurement of the human body in terms of dimensions.
What is anthropometry?
The largest physiological component of TDEE.
What is RMR?
The spread of a data set
What is variability?
The repeatability or consistency of a measure.
What is reliability?
During blood pressure measurement, these phases/sounds indicate when to read the gauge.
What are Korotkoff sounds/phases?
This gold standard of body composition assessment determines body density based on Archimedes' principle.
What is UWW/hydrostatic weighing/hydrodensitometry?
The increase in energy expenditure after a meal.
What is the thermic effect of food/dietary induced thermogenesis?
A measure of variability that shows dispersion from the mean.
What is standard deviation?
The extent to which observed results are credible and trustworthy, not due to outside factors or methodological errors
What is internal validity?
A heart rate monitor uses this method of measuring heart rate.
What is telemetry?
This body comp technique relies on the principle that electrical conductivity in the body is proportional to fat free mass.
What is BIA?
The gold standard of measuring energy expenditure.
What is direct calorimetry?
Datasets with the same mean, median, and mode
What is normally distributed data?
The extent to which findings can be generalized to real-world scenarios.
What is external validity?
This type of exercise/testing can result in extremely high BP.
What is isometric exercise?
This common consideration (or lack thereof) can drastically increase body fat percentage when using electrical conductivity testing.
What is dehydration?
This technique measures O2 consumption and CO2 production to estimate energy expenditure.
What is indirect calorimetry (metabolic cart)?
The score that best represents all scores collected for a group
What is central tendency?
How accurately a test measures the outcome it is supposed to measure, allowing for prediction of outcomes.
What is criterion validity?
A device for measuring blood pressure that consists of a gauge of graduated mmHg attached to an inflatable cuff.
What is a sphygmomanometer?
The BodPod uses this dual-chamber technology to determine body composition
What is air displacement plethysmography?
VCO2/VO2 =
Respiratory exchange ratio.
