This scale indicates how a person perceives the difficulty of his or her level of effort.
What is the Rate of Perceived Exertion (Borg) Scale?
100
This method is considered the "gold standard" for assessing body fat percentage.
What is the DEXA (x-ray) method?
100
An example of this kind of test is a 1-rep max test.
What is a muscular strength test?
100
Typically evaluated as the peak (maximal) power output developed during a single bout of maximal exercise lasting less than 10 s.
What is anaerobic power?
200
Force x Distance
What is work?
200
These both increase with exercise intensity.
What is heart rate and blood pressure?
200
Anything over this BMI score is considered obese.
What is 30?
200
The ability of a muscle to exert a submaximal force repeatedly over time without fatiguing.
What is muscular endurance (or strength-endurance)?
200
This is known as the degree of power drop-off during an anaerobic test.
What is the fatigue rate (index)?
300
The rate of doing work.
What is Power?
300
This is the main energy system used within 0-10s of activity.
What is the Phosphogen system?
300
This method of measuring body fat is based on the principle that muscle contains a high water content and conducts electric current more readily than fat which has a low water content.
What is bioelectrical impedance (BIA)?
300
The maximum amount of force a muscle can produce to resist a load in a single effort.
What is muscular strength?
300
Typically evaluated as the mean power output achieved during bouts of maximal exercise that last between 10 s and 120 s.
What is anaerobic capacity?
400
Any device that can quantify work performed by humans (or animals).
What is an ergometer?
400
This is the main energy system on a 5k run.
What is the Oxidative system?
400
This is the substance our body is mainly comprised of.
What is water?
400
The ability to sustain an isometric muscular contraction for a period of time.
What is static muscular endurance?
400
The ability to reproduce explosive movements one after the other with minimal fatigue.
What is speed (distance/time)?
500
The protocol used to calculate calorie expenditure based on work in which the subject moves up and down the step at a timed cadence (via metronome) for a set amount of time.
What is the Bench Step Protocol?
500
This is the main energy system used on a 400 m sprint.
What is Glycolytic system?
500
Generally, you can do this by: 1. Increasing your physical activity level and 2. Improving your dietary intake.
What is improve your body composition (reduce body fat percentage)?
500
This test performed in lab measures the muscular strength of the abdominals.
What is the 7-Stage Abdominal Strength Test?
500
This anaerobic test involves six sprints over 35 meters with a 10 second recovery between each sprint.
