part 2: test analysis challenge

1. coach wants to assess her teams ability to change direction quickly. which test should she use?
2. to measure explosive leg strength for improving a vertical jump, what test is best?

part 3: performance prediction
scenario / activity
predicted performance impact
how would regular yoga practice affect sit and reach test results?
how will a students 40 yard dash time change if they focus on sprinting?
part 4: component integration
for each activity, list the top 2 - 3 fitness components most critical for success.
basketball:
swimming:
dance:

Explanation:

1. The ability to change direction quickly is related to agility. The shuttle run measures agility & speed, so it should be used.
2. To measure explosive leg - strength for vertical jump, the standing long jump which measures power (related to explosive strength) is a good test. Regular yoga practice improves flexibility, so it would likely improve Sit and Reach test results. Focusing on sprinting would likely decrease a student's 40 - yard dash time. For basketball, key fitness components are agility, speed, and power. For swimming, cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and muscular endurance are important. For dance, flexibility, agility, and power are crucial.

Answer:

1. Shuttle Run
2. Standing Long Jump

For Part 3: Regular yoga practice would likely improve Sit and Reach test results. Focusing on sprinting would likely decrease 40 Yard Dash time.
For Part 4:
Basketball: Agility, Speed, Power
Swimming: Cardiovascular Endurance, Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance
Dance: Flexibility, Agility, Power
