CSCS Flashcards Question and answers
100% correct
What factors should go into selecting the appropriate tests for an athlete? -
correct answer ✔Factors include considering the physiological energy
systems required by the sport/position compared to the test, movement
specificity, feasibility and the athlete's experience with training and testing. A
needs analyssi of the sport/position help determine what aspects of fitness are
most imporant and should be tested. Fromthere, tests shuld be selected
based on their validity for such fitness componsents as well.


What are the pros and consof laboratory tests, and examples of common
tests? - correct answer ✔Pros: the environment can be better controlled,
equipment can be calibrated and usually involves a single athleteat a time,
allowing the tester to select the best test for the athlete and focus all of their
attention on the only athlete and test.
Cons: Typically require equipment (sometimes expensive), familiarity with
complicated protocols, andare less efficient since groups can't be tested
simultaneously.
Examples:wingate, YMCA VO2 max, underwater weighing


What are the pros and cons of field tests and examples of common tests? -
correct answer ✔Pros: Efficient because you can test entire teams or
multiple athletes at one time, typically require minimal equipment, can be
more sport-specific or ture-to-sport because they can usually occur in a
natural environment
Cons: Harder to control environment variables so they can be less reliable,
attention can be split when testing multiple athletes at once, a thletes may be
distracted.
Examples: rockport walk test, shuttle runs, 1-mile run, or step test

, What is the difference between validity and reliability? - correct answer
✔Validity is the extent to which a test measure what it is intended to measure,
such as a strength test actually actually measuring force production. Reliability
is a test's ability to produce consistent measures. Some tests are valid only for
certain populations, and subjective tests become less reliable if they have
multiple raters for different administrations of the test


What is meant by norm-referenced standards, and how does a CSCS use
them in practice? - correct answer ✔They compare the athlete's performance
against that of similar individuals, and scores are presented in percentiles.
Taken together with an understanding of the most important fitness
components for a given athlete, coaches can look at the norm-referenced
standardsfor each test score for an athlete to identify the greates areas of
deficit and be sre to emphasize them, along with those that are most
important for the position, in training programs


What is meant by criterion-reference standards, and how do most athletes'
scores fall relative to these standards? - correct answer ✔Criterion-
referenced standards are based on research- and normative-based
achievement levels of health and fitness that, if reached, predict lower disease
risk for the athlete. These may be lower standardsthan those likely achieved y
athletic populations


What is the difference between intrarater reliablility and interrater reliability? -
correct answer ✔Intrarater reliability is the degree to which a given tester is
consistent in their scoring of a certain test. Interrater reliability is the degree to
which different raters agree or produce the same scores on the same test
(objectivity)


What are the purposes of baseline testing? - correct answer ✔Baseline tests
provide a starting place so that programs can be designed at the right level.
For example, they can identify an athlete's strengths and weaknesses. They
also establish pre-training levels, sos the athlete's growth and the
effectiveness of a program can be measured in subsequent testing.
