Exam 2 Flashcards
What should you think about when you hear the word ‘landing’?
Absorbing force
What are the 6 ways to land?
Hands, feet, shoulders, forward, backward, and sideways
What role does maximizing surface area play in landings?
Landing forces are dissipated over the maximum surface area
What are the 2 landing principles?
- Force dissipation
- Maximize body surface area
Describe force dissipation
Absorb landing force over as many joints as possible to reduce impact
Describe force dissipation
Absorb landing force over as many joints as possible to reduce impact
What is an example of maximizing body surface area?
Shoulder roll to reduce impact on hands and feet
What are FITT’s 3 stages of learning physical skills?
- The cognitive phase
- Intermediate phase
- The automatic phase
What are the 4 teaching styles (from learner led to teacher led)?
- Problem-solving
- Guided practice
- Recipricol/partner teaching
- Drills and progressions
What are the 5 ways of making gymnastics safer?
- Lowe apparatus/raise mats
- More lead up activities to a skill
- Physical preparation for gymnasts

Follow me, group running or specific commands. Telling everyone to touch the blue mat
What is an example of getting the class into groups?
Communities; tell them to get into groups of a certain number
What are the 4 ways of maximizing participation?
- Taking attendance
- Warm-up stretches
- Waiting for a ‘turn’
- Changing stations
What is the downside to ‘waiting for a turn’ and ‘changing stations? How can it be improved?
Divide into more sections, engage in constructive activity when waiting, ensure efficient practicing, announce when to move through stations
What is locomotion?
Movement pattern in which the body repetitively moves outside its base of support
What are the 3 good spring fundamentals?
- Powerful muscles in take-off limbs
- A rigid body to maintain generated force
- Use of non-support limbs to increase force
What are the 3 rotational axes of the body?
- Longitudal axis
- Transverse axis
- Anterior/posterior axis
What are examples of movements along the longitudinal axis?
Pivots, pirouettes, and spins
What are examples of movement along the transverse axis?
Bar circle, rolls
What are examples of movements along the anterior/posterior axis?
Cartwheel
What are rotations caused by?
Off-center force
What are the effects of greater off-centre force?
Greater the rotations and less displacement
What are the 4 origins of gymnastics?
- Military
- Education
- Medical
- Performing arts
What 4 events originated from the military?
