Exam 3 Flashcards
Keep Your Eye on the Ball
when projectile is approaching at 100 mph
- can’t keep eye on ball = professional batters
- professional batters can only track the ball within 5 - 5 1/2 feet
- angular velocity of 500 degrees/sec
- humans can only track up to 70 degrees/sec
- fastest reaction athletes were at 5 feet
Kinesthesis Perception
perceptional activity arriving from proprioceptors that reside in muscles, tendons, and skin
Proprioceptors
structural components in the body that reside in muscles, tendons, and skin
Kinethesis
- information about the position of body parts
- ability to discriminate speed or amplitude of movements
- ability to discriminate movement
- ability to discriminate pressure
Proprioceptor
- ruffin receptors
- golgi tendon organ
- vestibular appartus
- muscle spindles
- joint receptors
- pacinian corpuscle
Ruffin Receptors
heat sensitivity, deep in skin, lip and oral cavity
Golgi Tendon Organ
tendons, junction of tendons and muscles, function to detect force through tendons due to lengthening of muscle, work with muscle spindles, aid in spatial position
Vestibular Appartus
temporal lobe of inner ear and give information about head position, linear and angular acceleration, visual fixation
Muscle Spindles
located in muscles, function to direct change in muscle fiber length, limb movement and acceleration, limb spatial spatial position
Joint Receptors
located in capsules and ligaments, function to detect joint spatial positioning and joint velocity and direction
Pacinian Corpuscle
deep pressure, stretch vibration, found in ski and around ligaments, especially in fingers
To Practice Kinesthesis
- close eyes/blindfold
- manual manipulation
- talk “feel” - proprioceptor terms
- video
- mirrors
Kinesthetic Aftereffects
perceived modifications in the weight, size of an object or perceived distortion of limb position, movement, intensity of muscular contraction as a result of exposure to environmental condition or object
KA Research
KA in 100% of studies felt faster or felt better but factual data said no improvements
Pain
perceptional process that represents an individual’s response to noxious injurious stimuli
Objective Measure
- heat
- cold
- cleat
- blood
Pain Tolerance
highly individual and variable, highest level of noxious injurious stimuli you will endure
Pain Threshold
common, inuring, lowest level reported pain
Pain Augmenters
individuals that engage in psychological behavior that increase perception of pain
Pain Reducers
individuals that engage in psychological behaviors that decrease perception of pain
Factors that Effect Pain Tolerance
- past experiences
- training state - meaning attached to pain
- personality
- nature of task
- expectations
Objectice Fatigue
physiological, measurable, biochemical, electrical, or structural changes
Subjective Fatigue
perceptional, highly individual, subjective feeling of tiredness, not measurable
So What? - Fatigue
- optimally fatigue clients based on individual and task itself
- more is not better
Speed/Accuracy
- if you tell a client to be fast they will do it faster with more errors
- if you tell a client to be accurate then they will do it slower and less errors
- if you are told to be fast and speed then fewer errors and a little bit slower
Emphasize Speed or Accuracy
- in skills which speed is the prime factor for success then emphasize speed from the start
- if accuracy is the most important then emphasize accuracy from the start
- if both are important then emphasize both from the start
Either Speed or Accuracy
if it could go either way then emphasize on speed is preferred
- transfer from speed to accuracy is greater than transfer from accuracy to speed
- no spatial or temporal changes
Extreme Emphasize Speed or Accuracy
extreme emphasis on either is detrimental and leads to bad technique
-want game like conditions
Exceptions to Rules
- severe performance problem
- safety is an issue
- different abilities impact speed/accuracy abilities depending on what stage you are in
Visual Learner
early advantage
Kinesthetic Learner
late advantage
3 Things That Making Predicting Even Harder
- if the task is complex
- ample practice time is not available
- the group is the same
Warm Up Research
equival (goes either way)
Warm-Up Decrement
poor performance following a lay off after even a brief time (few minutes —-hours/days/weeks)
