What testing might help to accomplish…
- Identify Strengths and Weaknesses
- Monitor & Evaluate Progress, Plateau, Decline
- Improve the education process
- Potential Health Status indicator
What Wont testing do
measure potential, talent, motivation
Effective Assessments are?
- The variables measured are specific and relevant
- The assessments are valid and reliable
- Tests are administered at appropriate time &
repeated at regular intervals - The administration of the assessments are
rigidly controlled - The basic human rights of the individual/athlete
are respected. - The results of the assessment must be explained
directly to the athlete in written and verbal
form.
Submaximal exercise tachycardia is an abnormal ECG response consistent with those with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
agree
Discriminant validity should demonstrate that two traits that ought to be different are, in fact, different when both traits are measured in the group at the same time
agree
The results of the assessment must be explained directly to the athlete in written and verbal form.

The new ACSM exercise pre-
participation health screening process
1) the individuals current level of physical
activity,
2) presence of signs or symptoms and/or
known cardiovascular, metabolic, or renal
disease, and
3) desired exercise intensity,
light, moderate and vigorous exercise is described as
light :<3 METs, 9–11 RPE moderate: 3 to <6 METs, 12–13 RPE, vig: ≥6
METs, ≥14 RPE
Liability as exercise tester
- Use reasonable care when training a client
- As always an individual assumes some risk
with regard to fitness training - The new guidelines are NOT a replacement
for sound clinical judgement
CSEP GA is self administered
True
If you answer yes to 1 of the questions where do you go
and can you still do testing
Yes you can do testing and its the reference page, then the
CSEP if No for all where do you go
Page 2 of the
Get Active Questionnaire – ASSESS YOUR CURRENT PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
Par-q+ yes response to what is a instant fail
2,6, 7
pain in chest at resting, joint problems that exercise will worsen, If doc said you can only exercise with medical supervision
PAR-Q if person answers yes to one or more questions on page one they?
need to go to next set of questions
what does the Par-Q suggest about 45 year-olds
If not used to vigorous exercise but wish to engage in this must get a referral from doc
Cesp pre test requirements
2 hours before - no smoking or caffeine, or large meals
6 hours before- vigorous exercise and alcohol consumption
Other reasons to differ
2 or more co morbid conditions, wants to work at maximal aerobic or anerobic level, client cannot exercise independently, HR or BP is higher then screening requirement
What is the purpose of the Get Active Questionnaire for Pregnancy (GAQ-P)?
Helps pregnant individuals decide if they should consult a health care provider before beginning or continuing physical activity.
Serves as an evidence-informed pre-screening tool that removes barriers to exercise participation.
Still emphasizes the importance of identifying contraindications to exercise during pregnancy.

Must be completed by a M.D.
➢ “Physicians Summary” - description of protocols.
➢ Make sure you receive a “Physical Activity Readiness
Conveyance/Referral Form” back from physician.
➢ Based on this, proceed with testing or limited testing
and prescription.
➢ PARmed-X for Pregnancy
what is the connection between lack of practical skill and legal liability
lack of practical skills–>improper actions and inactions—> breach of duties–> injuries—->negligence
what are the 7 lines of defense
- professional Environment:
Promote a caring, professional atmosphere to reduce injuries and claims. - Legal Compliance:
Follow laws and published standards of practice. - Qualified Staff:
Hire competent, trained professionals. - Policies & Procedures:
Use written, evidence-based protocols for screening, supervision, and safety. - Emergency Action Plan (EAP):
Have a practiced EAP and staff with CPR/AED & first-aid certifications. - Waivers & Assumption of Risk:
Use legal forms to protect against negligence or inherent risk claims. - Liability Insurance:
Maintain general and professional liability coverage for defense and damages.
what is true score
a concept that assumes that traits, abilities or characteristics
can be measured perfectly by a test (which is not possible in the real world) (impossible)
Systematic error
situations that result in a unidirectional change in
scores on repeated testing.
random error
situation that changes up and down with repeated testing
