12PE - Assessment of Fitness

Which of the following is the most accurate measure of aerobic power?

• VO₂ max treadmill test

• Yo-yo test

• Cooper 12-minute run

• 20m Multistage Fitness Test

Which of the following tests does not require the participant to run as long as they can?

• VO2 max treadmill test

• Yo-yo test

• 20m Multistage Fitness Test

• Cycle ergometer test

The cycling track sprint ranges from 600 metres to 1000 metres. An athlete who scores highly in which test would be best suited to this event?

• Phosphate recovery test

• Wingate cycling test

• Yo-Yo Test

• Squat test

Which test requires the participant to complete as many repetitions as possible?

• Flexed arm hang test

• 1 RM squat

• 3 RM bench press

• 60-second push-up test

Pre-training program testing does not:

• motivate athletes.

• set benchmarks.

• identify strengths and weaknesses.

• identify predominant muscle groups and energy systems required for activity.

Which of the following shows the correct order of tests to ensure the most accurate results?

• Least to most fatiguing

• Most to least fatiguing

• Aerobic tests first then anaerobic tests, as the aerobic tests act as a warm up

• Flexibility tests first

To ensure the reliability of tests when comparing a number of participants on the same fitness component, what should be the only variable that changes between tests?

• The participant

• The test, as long as it still tests the same fitness component

• When the testing is held

• The norms used

Post-season testing:

• should not be done unless the athlete is elite.

• should use the same tests as used in any pre- or in-season testing.

• can use different tests but must test the same fitness components and energy systems.

• is a waste of time as the season is finished.

Which fitness test is most likely to be used if the activity analysis shows a W:R of 1:1?

• 20-metre sprint

• Phosphate recovery test

• 20m Multistage fitness test

• Vertical jump test

As the person conducting the test, what do you need to consider about releasing information about the results?

• accuracy

• reliability

• specificity

• confidentiality
