Sport

• What is a maximal test ?

  Participant continues until they are exhausted
• What is aerobic endurance?

  The ability of the cardiorespiratory system to work efficiently, supplying nutrients and oxygen to working muscles during sustained physical activity.
• What are the 4 aerobic endurance tests?

  - Yo-Yo test

  - MSFT

  - Harvard step test

  - 12 min cooper run/swim test
• Equipment for MSFT test ?

  - non-slip surface

  - tape measure

  - cones

  - MSFT CD

  - paper + paper to record results
• What's is VO2 max?

  Max amount of oxygen a persons body is able to take in and use. It is measured in ml/kg/min and is the best measure of aerobic endurance
• MSFT protocol?

  - warm up

  - place 2 cones 20m apart on flat surface with tape measure

  - stand on start line. On 3rd beep run to next cones in time for next beep

  - don't run ahead of beeps

  - run faster as beep gets closer

  - keep running until physically exhausted or failed to reach cone in time

  - record level and shuttle reached to predict VO2 max
• Reliability of MSFT

  - motivation will affect reliability ( because it's a maximal test)

  - distance must be accurately measured

  - environment conditions must be the same
• Validity of MSFT

  - high level for running sports ✅

  - low level for non running sports ❌
• practically of MSFT

  - low cost

  - large numbers of people at a time

  - easy to set up
• Yo-Yo test equipment?

  - tape measure

  - Yo-Yo test CD

  -speakers

  - cones

  - suitable flooring
• Yo-Yo Test Procedure

  - warm up

  -Place cones 5 meters apart and then

  measure 20 m from that line and place another set of cones

  - walk to 5m cones and you should reach next cones on beep

  - then run to 20m and wait for 2nd beep to run back

  - then walk to 5m line and back and repeat until physically exhausted
• What is a submaximal test?

  Participant doesn't have to exercise to exhaustion
• What sport is MSFT and yo-yo test used for ?

  - long distanced runner

  - long distance cyclists
• What sport is Harvard step test used for?

  - long distanced cyclists

  - 5000m runners
• Equipment for Harvard step test?

  - 45 cm high bench

  - stopwatch

  - metronome

  - heart rate monitor

  - pen + paper to record results
• Harvard step test protocol?

  - warm up

  - start metronome to provide stepping pace

  - start on go and start stopwatch

  - step up and down from the bench in time with the metronome

  - test stops after 5 mins

  - 1, 2 and 3 mins after test record heart rate each time

  - use equation to work out results
• Harvard step test equation:

  3000/(pulse 1+ 2+ 3)= result
• Reliability of Harvard step test

  - motivation will affect this

  - conditions must be the same

  - standardised procedures

  -pulse must be measured at the correct time
• Validity of Harvard test

  - shorter or heavier participants may need to work harder due to height of bench ❌

  - minimal replication of sports movement❌
• Practicality of Harvard test

  - low cost

  - easy to step up

  - large numbers can take part
• What sport is 12 min copper test used for?

  - runners

  -swimmers

  -footballers
• What equipment is needed for cooper run?


  - stop watch

  - athletics track or swimming pool

  - cones ( running)

  - whistle

  -tape measure

  - pen + paper for results
• Cooper run protocol ?

  - stand on starting line on track

  - blow whistle for runners to start running

  - after 12 mins blow whistle to signal to stop

  - place cone where participant stopped

  - measure distance covered to nearest 10m
• Cooper swim protocol?


  - stand at edge of pool

  - blow whistle for swimmers to dive into pool and swim

  - at 12 min blow whistle to signal to stop

  - place cone where they stopped swimming

  - measure distance to nearest 10m
• Reliability of Cooper test

  - motivation will affect this

  - environment conditions will affect this

  - conditions must be the same

  - administrator does not need experience
• Validity of cooper test

  - high levels for sports

  - replicates running and swimming movement
• Practicality of Cooper test

  - low cost

  - large numbers can take part

  - easy to set up
• What is muscular endurance?


  the ability for the muscles to be able to keep contracting for sports lasting more than 30 mins
• What are the 3 muscular endurance tests?


  - one min press up

  - one min sit up

  - timed plank test
• Equipment for one min press up ?

  - exercise mat

  - stop watch

  - pen + paper for results
• One min press up protocol?

  - get participant into correct press up position

  - set timer for 1 min and participant must complete as many full press ups
• Reliability for one min press up (same for sit up)

  - motivation will affect this

  - standardised test procedures

  - conditions must be the same

  - administrator does not need expierence
• Validity for one min press up

  - high levels for sport

  - ensure type of press up has been noted
