2. A high school football team with 65 athletes requires how many coaches?
a. 3 coaches
b. 4 coaches
c. 5 coaches
The recommended coach to athlete ratio at the high school level is 1:15.
Therefore 4 coaches could supervise a maximum of 60 athletes. In order to
supervise 65 athletes, 5 coaches would be required.
The correct order for testing is: Non fatiguing test (ex: height, weight, vertical
jump), agility test, max power and strength, sprint test, local muscle endurance,
fatiguing anaerobic capacity, aerobic capacity.
4. Which of the following should be prioritized to allow a soccer player to maintain speed
and agility at the end of a match?
a. Hip Strengthening Exercises
b. Interval Training
c. Plyometric Training
The key to answer this one is to see that the question asks about “At the end of a
match”. This means that the athlete needs to train an adaptation that will result
in improvements in a fatigued state. Hip strengthening exercises is not the best
answer, because this does not specify that it is muscular endurance or will help
in a fatigued state. Plyometric training should not be performed in a fatigued
state. Plyometrics will improve maximal power output, rate coding, impulse, etc.
but none of those adaptations will directly improve the end of the match
performance. Interval training will improve work capacity, lactate threshold, and
allow the athlete to work harder and maintain sprint speed and agility at the end
of the match.
Content Validity is how well the experts believe the test covers the relevant
subtopics and component abilities. Face Validity is how good the test looks or if
the athlete thinks the test is good. Construct validity is how well the test
measures what it should measure. Concurrent validity is how well the test
correlates with the gold standard test.
