Chapter Flashcards
Statics
Study of systems in constant motion (zero as well)
Dynamics
Study of systems subject to acceleration
Kinematics
Study of the appearance or description of motion.
Velocity, angle joints, displacement
Kinetics
Study of the actions of forces (ex. Force production during isokinetic leg extension)
Mass
Quantity of matter in an object
Weight
Measure of the force of Graviry acting on an object
Inertia
Property of an object to resist change in its motion
Gravitational acceleration constant
9.81 m/s^2
Slugs
English constant (32.17ft/s^2) Divide by lbs
Kinesiology
Study of human movement
Biomechanics
Application of mechanical principles on living organisms
Adapted PE
Program involves: Physical fitness Motor fitness Fundamental motor skills/patterns Aquatic skills Dance skills Individual/group games Sports
Motor behavior
Study of the psychological and physiological processes that affect motor performance.
ex. Learning to kick ball
Pedagogy
The strategies, techniques, and approaches that teachers can use to facilitate learning.
Sport philosophy
Examination of the nature and values of human movement utilizing the nonempirical methods of philosophers.
Qualititative
Relating to quality of performance
(No numbers
Ex. Gymnastics, figure skating
Quantitative
Involving numbers
Ex. 100meter dash
Quantitative problem solving steps
Step 1: read carefully Step 2: list info Step 3: write down "x" Step 4: draw a diagram Step 5: select proper formula Step 6: review if more info needed Step 7: substitute the info into formula Step 8: solve Step 9: use common sense to see if T/F Step 10: box answer, use correct units
