Description Hell, I will need help with test selection discussion board post for physiology of exercise lab class. The name of this module is testing batteries. Please when considering "career" relate everything to PHYSICAL THERAPY! Complete all the steps and follow every instruction. It is a discussion board post so it does not need to be long, it is not an essay! Make it simple but follow all the steps please. In many settings testing batteries are completed to inform decision making, such as the target/goal of a training program or whether an athlete is ready to return to their sport. Up until now we have generally investigated assessments one at a time, but in reality these assessments are completed over the course of a day (or couple of days). Even still, in some instances assessments may be combined (integrated) to provide even more meaningful data for the sport and exercise science professional. In this discussion board you will consider your ideal target population you would like to work with and then create a testing battery for that population. You may also consider integrated assessments that are purported to promote more accurate or reliable measurements as opposed to a conventional (or predictive) assessment. Initial Post: Consider your future/current career and identify a target population of interest. This could be a general population client, specific sport or sport position, specific clinical population, injury, etc... Consider what qualities would be of benefit for this target population, and which should be assessed. This could include general fitness components (body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility) or skill-related components (agility, speed, balance, coordination, power). Pick at least three components that you could assess that are specific to your target population. Next, identify assessments that could be used to assess the fitness (health) or skill-related components. You should identify at least three assessments per component that could be utilized in this population. To do this, you may need to refer to the literature using the Cameron Library databases. Discuss these assessments, comparing and contrasting and then select one assessment you would implement. Provide your reasoning for selecting a specific test and complete this for each of the three chosen components. To facilitate this portion, you should utilize current research. Identify the common assessment(s) utilized and make notes on the utility of the assessment, equipment necessary, experience required, time required, etc... Throughout your search you may find some articles that combine an assessment with additional measurements, or assessments that are considered "gold-standard". When this is the case include one of these assessments in your post. For example, gas analysis and lactate measurements during a VO2max assessment is common in aerobic athletes. Finally, assume you will need to complete all measurements on the same day. Provide your proposed testing sequencing along with discussion as to why you sequenced the assessments this way. At least two peer-reviewed journal articles are required for your initial post. These may be original articles or reviews pertaining your target population. Be sure to cite using APA formatting and obtain accessible links of pdf attachments of the articles. See the rubric attached.
