Kinesiology correct answers the study of the art and science of human movement
Measurement correct answers the process of comparing a value to a standard (Distance, force, time, frequency)
Data correct answers the result of movement
Statistics correct answers a mathematical technique by wh...
Validity correct answers the soundness or the appropriateness of the test in measuring what it is
designed to measure (Ex: 6 min walk test to VO2 max)
Variable correct answers a characteristic of a person, place, or object that can assume more than
one value (anything that is free to vary: weight, IQ, 100 m dash time)
Constant correct answers a characteristic that can assume only one value (pi, e, Avogadro's
number)
Continuous variable correct answers theoretically can assume any value; EX: distance, force,
time; value assumed is only limited by precision of measurement instrument
Discrete variable correct answers limited to certain numbers, usually whole numbers (counts of
things); EX: number of children, diagnoses (+ or -), dead/alive - binary variables
Nominal data correct answers mutually exclusive categories; EX: sex, political party
Ordinal data correct answers gives quantitative order to the variables, but does not indicate how
much better one score is than another; EX: pain scales (0-10), Borg scale of RPE (6-20)
Interval data correct answers has equal units, or intervals, of measurement - the same distance
between each division of the scale - but has no absolute zero point; EX: F and C temperature
scales, joint angle
Ratio data correct answers based on order, has equal distance between scale points, and uses zero
to represent the absence of value; EX: Kelvin temp scale; force (N)
Research correct answers a special technique for solving problems; a systematic investigation,
including research development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to
generalizable knowledge
, Observational research correct answers describing events or conditions, which the researcher
does not actively manipulate; examine correlations between variables
Experimental research correct answers research process that involves manipulating and
controlling events or variables to solve a problem; stronger cause-effect inferences than
observational research
Hypothesis correct answers an educated guess or logical assumption that is based on prior
research or known facts and that can be tested
Research hypothesis (Alternate hypothesis) correct answers (H1) the hypothesis that prompts the
research; usually predicts relationships or differences between or among groups
Null hypothesis correct answers (H0); predicts no relationship or no difference between the
groups
Level of confidence (LOC) correct answers value we set which defines our "reasonable doubt"
independent variable correct answers variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher
dependent variable correct answers that which is measured
Internal validity correct answers a measure of the control within the experiment to ascertain that
the results are due to the treatment that was applied
External validity correct answers the ability to generalize the results of the experiment to the
population from which the samples were drawn
Population correct answers any group of persons, places, or objects that have at least one
common characterisitic
Sample correct answers a subset of the population
Random sample correct answers each member of the population has an equal opportunity of
being selected into the sample
Stratified sample correct answers break population into subcategories; then may sample from
each stratum
Bias correct answers factors operate on the sample to make it unrepresentative of the population
Parameter correct answers a characteristic of the population
Statistics correct answers a characteristic of a sample that is used to estimate the value of the
population parameter
