Why Measurement is Important
|
Research
(make sure measurements are valuable and reliable)
Normative Data
(have normative data from population to compare patient to)
Track goals/progess
(track patients progress)
|
Measurement
|
Assigning a number based on individual attributes
(height, fat, etc.)
|
Evaluation
|
Statement of equality about the measurement
(Putting a quailty to the number: very tall for a 6'7" person)
|
Accuracy
|
Direct VS. Indirect Measurements
Direct: Use ruler to see how far they jump
Indirect: Depression (something you cannot easily see)
|
Validity
|
Measures what it is intended to measure
Degree of truthfulness
(measuring what you set out to measure: weight not height)
|
Reliabilty
|
Repeatability of a measure
A measure MUST be reliable in order for it to be vaild, however a measurement can be reliable but not valid
(every time you take their amount of fat --> it is the same every time)
Need at least 3 measurements to determind if reliable
|
Three types of validity
|
Content Validity
Criterion Validity
Construct Validity
|
Content Validity
|
Degree to which the task represents the actual content to be assessed
(40 yard dash in football; sit and reach)
Cannot say a football player is good all because he had a good 40 yard dash time
|
Criterion Validity
|
Correlation between a measurement and the criterion "gold standard" for the measurement
(Body fat assessment; VO2 max)
Skin fold (to get body fat) is not good enough alone. Correlate that and dexa scan (used for body composition: gives body fat percent, bone fat, and lean muscle tissue --> GOLD STANDARD) = good.
|
Construct Validity
|
Degree to which a test measures an intangible quality or attribute (construct)
(Depression, mental fatigue)
For psychological measures: cant see it, but can feel it
|
Four ways to assess Reliability |
Test-Retest
Equivalence
Split-halves
Intraclass
|
Test-Retest
|
Same participants complete the assessment twice
Take an exam twice. If reliable = about the same score
|
Equivalence
|
Two similar (equivalent) measurements of the same characteristic are compared
Dexa scan and skin fold should be about the same results
|
Split-Halves
|
Half of the assessment is compared with the other half
Good for depression questionaires. Can compare the odds and evens.
|
Intraclass
|
Comparing multiple assessments (>2)
Do 4 sprints = how reliable
|
Objectivity
|
Subset of reliability
|
Objective tests VS. Subjective Tests
|
Objective: Multiple choice questions. Form is always the same.
Subjective: Short question essay. How you evaluate you think we did
|
Four Measurement Levels
|
Nominal
Ordinal
Interval
Ratio
|
Nominal
|
Assessment of equality or difference
Categorical: Usually word descriptions, but can be numbers
(blones vs brunettes)
|
Ordinal
|
Specific order
Hierarchical
1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place
|
Interval
|
-Numeral
-Permits statements about the equality of measurement
-Does NOT include a measure of 0 that indicates an absence of the measurement
(Temp of F scale)
CANT COMPARE
|
Ratio
|
-Numeral
-Permits comparison statements
-Includes a measure of 0 that indicates an absence of the measurement
(Temp in K)
CAN COMPARE because allows you to use 0
|
Domains of Human Experience
|
Cognitive Domain
(memory, attention, executive function)
Affective Domain
(emotion, mood, attitudes, perceptions)
Psychomotor Domain
(physiological and physical performance)
|
Psychomotor Domain
|
Direct observation or self report
Direct: 40 yd dash (MORE RELIABLE)
Self: Questionaire of activity leevl of past 7 days.. not concrete answers
|
Fitness Assessments

History of Anatomy
|
Anatomy: One of the oldest branches of medicine
People have been interested in anatomy for purpose of killing of animals, treating illnesses and injuries, mummification, and religious beliefs
Government and religion have both played important roles in how science has progressed
|
Hippocrates
|
Father of western medicine
Greek Physician
Although many beliefs were later dispelled (because of lack of technology), one of the greatest contributions was shifting believes about disease
Disease was not caused by the gods, rather it was due to natural casues
|
Aristotle
|
Founder of Comparative Anatomy
Dissected and described animal biology
Developed ideas about evolution that Darwin later recognized
He was limited by his dissection of animals and being able to generalize to humans
|
Herophilus |
Father of anatomy
Dissected up to 600 human bodies
First to distinguist:
1. motor and sensory nerves
2. cerebrum and cerebellum
Correctly identified the brain as being the center for intelligence
|
Erasistratus
|
Father of Physiology
Studied the heart and circulatory system
Unknowingly perceived the capillary system
|
Claudis Galen |
Prince of Physicians
Although not always correct, the catholic church did not allow anyone to criticize his work
Correctly described the difference between arteries and veins
Arteries: Blood away from heart
Veins: Blood to heart
|
Early Middle Ages of Anatomy (Dark Ages)
|
Church forbade studying human body and destroyed many scientific writings
Arabian forces had previously taken many of the greek writings, which allowed them to be preserved during the middle ages
Lack of advance in learning
Faith was foundation of knowledge rather than reason
(FAITH VS. SCIENCE)
|
Renaissance of Anatomy
|

(adaptations due to exercise)
|
Cardiovascular System
|
Heart
Transports oxygen and nutrients to tissue via blood
Removes waste products from the body
Dissipates heat
Primary components:
Heart, arteries (blood away from heart; Oxygen rich) , veins (blood back to heart; Deoxynated)
|
Pulmonary System
|
Lungs
Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between air and blood
Exercise:
-Very few (if any) adaptations to exercise
-Adaptations to the musculature that controls breathing
|
Pulmonary Disease |
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
- Includes : emphysema, asthma
- Can utilize exercise as a means to treat
Exercise Induced Asthma
-Adherence and sub-maximal performance
|
Muscular System
|
Primarily responsible for creating movement bu pulling on bones.
Muscular adaptations to training
-Depends on type of exercise
-Enzyme contractions (responnsible for endurance)
-Contractile protein content (responsible for increases in strength)
-Vascularization (blood supply to muscles)
|
Bioenergetics and Metabolism
|
How energy is utilized to produce movement
ATP
-energy utilized during exercise
-made available from the breakdown of food (fat, carbohydrate, protein)
Energy source depends on type of exercise being performed and what metabolic pathway is used
|
Endocrine System |
Hormones
-released by endocrine glands
-important during exercise
-examples:
growth hormone
cortisol
epinephrine
testosterone
Exogenous Hormone Supplementation
-examples: anabolic steroids - build muscle (testosterone)
|
Cardiovascular Disease
|
Coronary artery disease
-Primary type of cardiovascular disease
-Cholesterol and other blood lipids build on the walls of the artery; eventually causing a blockage, which leads a heart attack
Exercise decreases rick of this disease
-decreasing resting blood pressure
-improves cholesterol
(decreases LDL "bad" ... increases HDL "good")
|
Nervous System (2 parts) |
Motor/Voluntary
-Motor Control : control of movement by way of skeletal muscle
-Neuromuscular Fatigue: CNS plays a major role (brain and spinal)
-Neuromuscular Adaptations to Training: Motor activation and firing rate of active muscle changes as a result of training
Autonomic/Involuntary
-Involuntary control of body function
-Two divisions:
Sympathetic (activated during stress)
Parasympathetic (activated during rest)
|
Immune System
|
-Fights off pathogens and infections
-Study on the effects of exercise and the immune system is relatively new
Very intesnse exercise may result in short term immunosuppression (more likely to get sick)
Submaximal exercise may enhance the immune system (exercise regularly @ a good pace = reduce chances of illness)
|
Skeletal System |
Structural and lever system
-Muscle contraction leads to movement of the system
Effects of exercise on skeletal system
-focus on bone mass
-relationship between bone density and risk of fracture in older adults and osteoporosis in post-menapausal women
Exercise will increase or maintain bone mass
|
