Chapter 12 Flashcards
growth
a measurable change in body size, qaunity, or fucntioning
maturation
the extent a characteristic reselmbles a mature biological state
motor development
the study of how motor behaviour change over time because of biological and enviornmental influences
cepholocudual vs proxidmal
head to foot
center to outward
readiness
is when an indivdual is pro[ared to aquire a particular behvaiour or skill and has internal motivation to learn
infancy <1 year
mlaes are usally slightly heavier, and longer than females at birth
extermely rapid growth
3 x birth weight
increased bith height by 50%
childhood (1-13 years)
1-6-loss of baby fat, rapid growth, good flexibility, lots of muscle develoment
7-10- slower and more constant growth
improments in coordination and motor functioning
10-13 -growth spurt preceeded by fat accumulation
puberty- 12-14- height spurt, redistribution of body weight
adolescence (14-20 years)
somatotypes: develop
ectomorph: linear shape, delicate bone structure, litle fat, and long, limbs
mesomorph: well-muscled little fat, broad shoulders, narrow waist
endomorph: rounded appearnce, heavy bone, little bone and muscle definition
body comp
male fat content at birth 13%
recommneded 10-22%
women fat content at birth 15%
recommended 20-32%
motor devlopment
infants: reflective-sucking spontaneuous-kicking redimentary- rolling early to mid childhood: fundemental movemnets walking, running, catching, tthrowing late childhood and adolescence: advanced fundemental movements specilizaed movements are formed by combing skills that are sport specific
infant brain
midbrain:
reflex center
most developed at birth
reflexive movements for feeding and protection
cerebrum: (cerebral cortext, hippocampus, basal ganglia)
controls volentary movement, memory, and sensation
redimentary movements that are volutariry cntrolled rolling, sitting, reaching
cerebullum:
the little brain that controls balance and coordination
standing crawling, grasping
cardiovasular system
supplies muscles and organs with O2 and nutrients removes metabolic by-products from tissues
cristical for preformace
enhanced by training
cardiovasular anatomy
heart
peripheral curriculatory system
red blood cells
heart
pumps blood through the human body
will beat about 3 billion time sover our life
one of the first organs to begin functioning after conception
muscle cells
3 layers: 1. endocardium (within) lines the heart chambers allows smooth blood flow 2. myocardium (middle) thick and muscular pumps blood 3. apicardium (upon) thin protection pericardium (around) protective sac containing pericardial fluid loosely surrounds heart reduces friction
