Exam 21: Laboratory Assessment of Human Performance

Both the lactate threshold and the measurement of critical power have been used to predict performance in endurance events.Studies reveal that,from an exercise intensity viewpoint,critical power measurements represent an exercise intensity_____________.

Which of the following is a method to estimate the lactate threshold?

The concept of critical power is based on the notion that athletes

VO₂ max is an excellent predictor of performance in endurance events for trained runners.

A more economical runner will have a higher VO₂ at a given speed than with an uneconomical runner.

Performance of a one-repetition maximum (1RM)test to determine muscular strength is an example of a(n)_______________ strength test.

Measurement of the highest VO₂ obtained during an incremental arm ergometer test is often called

The vertical jump test uses the ATP-PC system,so it is considered a good predictor of success in running a short (40-100 yards)dash.

Many investigators argue that the following measurement is the single best predictor of success in endurance events.

Which of the following components of performance testing are NOT important to consider when designing a laboratory test to evaluate sport performance?

Measurement of VO₂ max can be performed using either the arms or the legs.

Exercise scientists often use data from laboratory tests to predict performance in a variety of sports.Which of the following measurements (or performance tests)are required to predict a performance time for a 10,000 meter race?

Peak running velocity is defined as the highest running speed that can be maintained for

An isokinetic dynamometer monitors the

Which of the following is NOT among the criteria used to determine if a VO₂ max test is valid?

Which of the following statements about Laboratory (physiological)testing is NOT true?

The vertical jump power test has been used to evaluate explosive anaerobic power.This test is valuable in predicting performance in______________.

A handgrip dynamometer is an easy method of assessing ______________ strength.

Lactate threshold can be used to predict the estimated finish time in a race.

Which of the following laboratory tests would provide the LEAST important information about performance potential in a long endurance event (e.g. ,a marathon)?
