Exercise Testing and Prescription part 1

Validity

• Specific

• Accuracy, measuring what it is supposed to measure

• Consistency, the consistency of a test or how well it produces the same results over multiple trials

• The extent to which you can generalize the findings of a study to other situations, people, settings, and measures

Context

• Muscular fitness, cardio respiratory fitness, flexibility, and body composition

• Specific

• The extent to which you can generalize the findings of a study to other situations, people, settings, and measures

• Accuracy, measuring what it is supposed to measure

Speed

• A 40 yard sprint is valid for measuring speed

• Speed, agility, balance, coordination, and power

• A timed mile run is valid for measuring speed

• Doing a vertical jump test is valid for measuring speed because of the power behind the jump
