The process of adjusting to high altitude for 10 days to effectively prepare for aerobic tests.

A structured series of tests to evaluate different performance attributes.

Consistency in test results. How reproducible the results are.

Essential for improving test results and reliability by increasing body temperature and preparing muscles.

Maintaining similar environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) and standardized protocols across test sessions.

The highest force a muscle can exert in a single effort (low speed strength).

The body's ability to perform high-intensity exercise without oxygen.

High-speed strength tests focus on explosive lifts, like power cleans and hang snatches

The ability of a muscle group to perform repeated contractions for an extended period.

Tests that measure the ability to change direction quickly and efficiently.

Measures the time taken to cover a distance, often used to evaluate acceleration.

Methods to determine the proportion of fat and lean mass in the body.

A high-tech method to measure body fat and lean mass; expensive.

Measuring skin folds to assess body composition, cost-effective.

Bench press, back squat, and deadlift, focused on strength with lower speeds.

Using different activities (e.g., cycling for runners) to reduce injury risk and maintain fitness.

Reducing training volume or intensity before a competition to allow for full recovery and peak performance.

A gradual increase in training intensity over time, divided into phases like off-season, pre-season, and in-season.

Training divided into blocks of specific focus (e.g., strength, endurance) for professional athletes.

Incorporating light training after intense exercise to allow the body to adjust and recover.

Developing general cardiovascular fitness, even for non-endurance athletes, to improve performance and recovery.

Increased maximum oxygen uptake through greater stroke volume and cardiac output.

Increased number of mitochondria within muscle cells, boosting energy production.

Tests used to measure a person's balance and stability, like the Balance Error Scoring System or Star Excursion Balance Test.

Summarizing data using measures like mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent).

Measures the spread of data scores around the mean.

A score representing a data point's position relative to the mean, in terms of standard deviations.

A grip with palms facing up, often used for exercises like curls.

A method of performing a bench press involving maintaining five points of contact: head, shoulders, butt, both feet flat on the floor

Position your feet hip to shoulder-width apart, and maintain a neutral spine, avoiding bending at the waist.

Different grips used in lifting exercises, including narrow, common, and wide grips.

Factors influencing the difficulty of plyometric exercises, including body position, speed, height of jumps, and body weight.

How often you do plyometric exercises, typically ranging from 1 to 3 times per week.

The time needed to rest between plyometric workouts, typically 2-4 days.

Different types of plyometric exercises, including jumps, hops, and box drills, which improve power and explosiveness.

Important factors for safe plyometric training, such as body weight limitations, optimal jump heights, correct footwear, and suitable landing surfaces.

Incorporating plyometrics into preseason training, if high-intensity jumps aren't already part of practice.

For beginners, limiting intense plyometrics to avoid overtraining; 80-100 contacts per session represents a good starting point

Gradually increasing the intensity of plyometric exercises as the athlete's ability improves, starting with low-intensity drills.

A running technique that alternates between periods of high-intensity effort and easy recovery runs.

Running at a pace that's just below or at the point where your body starts to produce high levels of lactic acid.

A training plan that carefully divides training into specific periods of time with different goals and intensities.
