Deck 12: Needs Analysis

Question 1

Which of the following questions is NOT addressed by the needs analysis?

A) What are the metabolic (energy) requirements for an athlete based on their sport and position?
B) What are the biomechanical requirements demanded of an athlete during competition?
C) What are common injuries associated with an athlete's sport?
D) the goals of the athlete

Answer 1

D

Question 2

Sport injuries are often sustained as a result of:

A) contact that overloads a particular structure
B) overload that occurs without contact
C) gradual overuse of tissue
D) all of the above

Answer 2

D

Question 3

Which of the following would NOT be part of a biomechanical analysis?

A) the length of the event
B) the movement patterns performed during competition
C) the muscles recruited and major joint actions
D) movement velocity

Answer 3

A

Question 4

An injury analysis should identify:

A) common injuries associated with a given sport
B) factors that predispose or increase risk for a particular injury
C) the injury history of the athlete
D) all of the above

Question 5

The dominant energy system used in volleyball is the:

A) phosphocreatine system
B) glycolytic system
C) oxidative system
D) all systems are used equally

Question 6

Which of the following is least important to obtain during a needs analysis?

A) the physical needs of the sport
B) the strengths/weaknesses of the athlete
C) the athlete's gender
D) the common sites of injury for the sport

Question 7

A needs analysis shows that a sport mostly uses the phosphogen energy system. What type of of metabolic training will be most effective for this sport based on the needs analysis?

A) long distance running
B) long interval running
C) circuit training with short rest intervals
D) short sprints with long rest intervals

Question 8

A biomechanical analysis reveals that a sport requires high levels of lower body power. What method of resistance training will be most effective at meeting this need?

A) total body circuit training
B) plyometrics
C) hypertrophy training
D) heavy strength training

Question 9

The 400m sprint is an example of an event that requires significant contribution from the ____________ energy system.

A) Phosphogen
B) glycolytic
C) oxidative
D) all of the above

Question 10

What injury occurs with regularity in volleyball, soccer, and basketball?

A) shoulder sprain
B) hamstring strain
C) ankle sprain
D) lower back pain

Question 11

Performing a work to rest ratio analysis of a tennis match is an example of assessing the _______________ requirements of a sport.

Question 12

Analyzing the muscles used in throwing a baseball is an example of assessing the _____________ requirements of a sport.

Question 13

Because the ____________ system is mobilized quickly, it is also referred to as the immediate energy system.

Question 14

A needs analysis examining injury risk in female athletes should include their increased risk of ___________ injury compared to male athletes.

Question 15

Within the same sport, metabolic and biomechanical demands can change depending on an athlete's ____________.

Question 16

The first step in designing a resistance training program is to implement the acute program variables.

Question 17

Because adaptations are specific to the type of training performed, careful consideration must be given to the needs analysis.

Question 18

Many team sports require contributions from both anaerobic and oxidative mechanisms of energy production.

Question 19

A needs analysis should identify the demands of the sport itself, not the specific needs of the individual athlete.

Question 20

The strength and conditioning professional should document any previous or recurring injuries so that program design can incorporate appropriate interventions.

Question 21

What does a needs analysis address?

Question 22

You are asked to plan a physical assessment of a football team. You plan to do a "needs analysis" looking at both the individual player and the game of football. Discuss tests you will have to perform and the process you will go through to administer the tests.

Question 23

Upon completing the needs analysis how is this information used?

Question 24

Why is it important to conduct a needs analysis for different positions within a sport?

Question 25

How does a needs analysis fit within an overall injury prevention program?
