Aerobic Power Field Assessments
The Rockport fitness test involves walking for this distance.
What is 1 mile?
This is the gold standard of strength testing.
What is 1RM testing?
This grip involves holding the bar with your palms facing away from you or the back of the hands towards you.
What is a overhand grip?
A rapid eccentric muscle action followed by a concentric muscle action generally performed to generate power describes this.
What is the stretch-shortening cycle?
This measurement of body composition does not actually measure body composition, as it measures just height and weight.
What is BMI?
You should not use this digit to palpate your heart rate as it has a pulse of its own.
What is a/your thumb?
This movement/exercise was used to identify upper body strength in class.
What is a bench press?
This tool was used to measure grip strength isometrically in class.
What is a handgrip dynamometer?
Athletes typically perform better in this jumping based assessment.
What is the countermovement jump assessment?
This is a commonly used measurement of body composition, sending a small electrical impulse through hands and/or feet.
What is a BIA?
This common arteries used for palpation is Garlands preferred choice. He always did have trouble finding the carotid artery.
What is the radial artery?
This assessment was used to assess lower body strength in class.
What is 1RM leg press?
The ability to resist this is what constitutes muscular endurance.
What is fatigue?
This assessment measures anaerobic capacity, its a shame we were not able to do it based on the lack of cycle ergometers.
What is Wingate?
Skinfold calipers measure this type of fat specifically.
What is subcutaneous body fat?
A typical traditional track spans this distance. How many laps was a mile again?
Isometric tests are specific to the muscle group and this being assessed. This would be one of the main differences between a static and dynamic strength test.
What is the joint angle?
Power equals this.
A BMI of 37.5 is this class of obesity.
What is Class 2 Obesity?
Immediately after completing the Rockport fitness test, the client/participant does this.
What is palpates their heart rate for 15 seconds?
To ensure reliability of a 1RM test, the 1RM should be achieved in approximately this many sets
What is around 5? (3-5 acceptable)
Standardizing a warm up, safety pins, and distance of each rep would ensure this.
What is reliability?
Countermovement vertical jump/static vertical jump is the equation for this.
What is the eccentric utilization ratio?
The five component body composition model includes all of these components.
