A strength coach selects a 1RM front squat to assess lower-body strength in collegiate football linemen. Several athletes and coaches agree that the test appears appropriate for evaluating maximal strength, even before data are collected. Which type of validity is being demonstrated? Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below. I’ll follow up with my breakdown after enough people have responded. From Chapter 12: Principles of Test Selection and Administration

A strength coach programs the following in-season superset for collegiate soccer athletes: - A1: Back squat — 4 × 4 @ 87.5% 1RM - A2: 30-m sprints — 1 rep max effort (timed) - Rest: 2–3 minutes between paired sets After several weeks, sprint times progressively worsen across the session, while squat performance remains stable. The coach wants to maintain maximal strength adaptations without sacrificing sprint quality. Which adjustment is MOST appropriate? Answer in the poll, then explain your rationale below. I’ll follow up with my breakdown after enough people have responded. From Chapters 17 and 19
