Fitness testing
What is the test for balance
Standing stork test
This component of fitness is most responsible for maintaining technique during the final stages of a 1500m race.
Muscular Endurance
This plane divides the body into front and back halves.
Frontal Plane
This is the pivot point of a lever system
Fulcrum
This muscle is responsible for flexing the elbow.
The bicep
This test is a sub maximal cardiovascular test
The harvard step test
This component of fitness allows joints to move through a full range of motion and helps prevent injury
Flexibility
A forward roll in gymnastics occurs in this plane.
Sagittal Plane
This class of lever has the load between the fulcrum and the effort.
Second class
These muscles act as the antagonists during knee extension.
the Hamstrings
This factor would most reduce the reliability of a fitness test if not controlled.
fatigue / inconsistent warm-up / environmental conditions
This component of fitness allows an athlete to decelerate and re-accelerate rapidly during invasion games.
Agility
This axis is used when a gymnast performs a somersault
Transverse Axis
This class of lever provides a speed and range of movement advantage.
Third class lever
This muscle acts as the agonist during hip extension in sprinting
Gluteus Maximus
This is a limitation of the Harvard Step Test when testing elite athletes.
it does not replicate sport-specific movements / can be affected by leg length
This component of fitness is most affected by loss of fast-twitch muscle fibres.
Power
A cart wheel uses this plane and axis combination
Frontal plane and sagittal axis
Plantar flexion at the ankle when standing on tiptoes is an example of this lever.
Second class lever
This muscle is responsible for plantar flexion at the ankle during take-off in sprinting.
the Gastrocnemius
This reason explains why a test could be reliable but not valid.
it produces consistent results but does not measure what it is meant to measure
This component of fitness is best developed through plyometric training
Power
A discus thrower rotating in a spin uses this plane and axis combination
Transverse Plane and vertical Axis
This is one disadvantage of third class levers in the human body.
they require greater effort of force to move the load?
This muscle fibre type produces fast, powerful contractions but fatigues quickly.
Type IIa
