    - Detect force through tendons due to lengthening of skeletal muscle
    - Works with muscle spindles
    - Aid in spatial positioning
  3. Muscle spindles:
    - All skeletal muscles
    - Detect change in muscle fiber length, limb movement, velocity and acceleration, and limb spatial position
  4. Vestibular apparatus:
    - Located in temporal lobe or inner ear
    - Head position, linear/angular acceleration of head
    - Visual fiction aid
  5. Joint receptors (pacinian corpuscles):
    - Muscle corpuscles & ligaments of synovial joints
    - Helps to detect joint spatial position, joint velocity, end joint detection
    - Detects leigh of flexion or extension

Q

In almost every study of Kinesthetic illusions, the participants reported improvements but there was no data to support actual improvements. Why is this?

A

No measurable improvements were made due to the fact that motor skills are temporal and spatial and the changes from the kinesthetic illusions throw off spatial and temporal aspects

    - Social learning theory
    - Experiences with family and coaches
    - How they were treated as a child when they experienced pain
  2. Training state:
    - The meaning you attach to pain
    - Example: childbirth is painful but it means more than the pain
  3. Personality
  4. Nature of task:
    - If pain is fundamental to the activity

Q

5 generalizations of pain

A
  1. Almost all humans have the same pain threshold
  2. There’s a low correlation between pain tolerance and severity of the injury (an athlete suffers extreme injury but doesn’t experience the pain)
  3. Contact-sport athletes have higher pain tolerance than non-athletes
  4. Anticipation of pain can heighten anxiety and could cause increased perception of pain (completing physical therapy and being physically ready to go back to practice but emotionally and mentally unprepared to go back - worried about getting hurt again)
  5. Higher-skilled performers have higher pain tolerance than lower-skilled performers (this could be the reason they became higher skilled performers)

Q

2 types of fatigue perception

A
  1. Objective fatigue:
    - A specific, measurable, biochemical (lactic acid) or structural change (frayed cells)
    - Need to look “under the hood” to see objective fatigue
  2. Subjective fatigue:
    - Arbitrary, subjective, perceptual, highly variable, varies person to person and situation to situation
    - Saying “I’m tired”
    - “Our minds slow us down”

Q

5 generalizations of fatigue

A
  1. Very low correlation between objective and subjective fatigue
  2. Moderate fatigue will impair activities that involve strength and endurance but not those who involve balance and accuracy
  3. Fatigue caused by one task doesn’t necessarily impact fatigue of another
  4. General fatigue on occasion can actually improve learning that task (having children run laps to get out excess energy so they can focus and learn the task at hand)
  5. For most tasks, moderate fatigue imparts performance but not learning (learning to perform under fatigued conditions - practicing while fatigued leads to better performance while fatigued)

Q

Speed/Accuracy trade off - Solley’s Law

A
  1. In skills in which speed is a prime factor, the best results occur when speed is practiced at the beginning - which decreases accuracy
  2. In skills in which accuracy is a prime factor, the best results occur when accuracy is practiced at beginning - which decreases speed
  3. If BOTH speed and accuracy are prime factors, then both need to be emphasized equally in practice

Q

5 generalizations regarding speed and accuracy

A
  1. Skills need to be performed under game-like conditions and pressure
  2. An early emphasis on speed is better than an early emphasis on accuracy BECAUSE there is a stronger transfer set from speed to accuracy than accuracy to speed
  3. At the proper speed, there are no movement variations
  4. An early emphasis on accuracy can actually be detrimental
  5. An extreme emphasis on either speed or accuracy is detrimental

Q

Fitts Law

A

As the target size decreases and the distance increases, the movement speed will decrease in order to allow more accurate movements

Example: a shortstop takes an extra step toward the target to decrease the distance to allow for a more accurate throw to first base

Q

Early vs. Late learners and prediction of success

A
  1. Never write your learners off
  2. Prediction is more difficult unless 50% of the practice trials have been achieved
  3. At least 95% of your clients’ potential should be achieved before you can make a prediction that’s accurate - which is impossible
  4. Prediction is enhanced when predictor task finally represents the final task
  5. Frequently, early success is misleading
  6. Early success has 0 correlation with final achievement
  7. Rate of learning has 0 correlation with the amount that is learned
  8. Different abilities contribute to different learning stages
  9. In most studies, late learners achieve same level of proficiency, or higher, than early learners
  10. In a cognitive setting, when asking a question to students, wait 6-7 seconds before calling on someone

57
Q

Extrinsic Feedback

A

Comes from outside the performer

Ex: Receiving a test score

Ex: After the client finishes a squat, therapist says next time go down lower.

60
Q

Immediate Feedback

A

Always terminal
Within 5 to 7 seconds of a movements completion
Ex: RIGHT after a bench press critiquing form

61
Q

Delayed Feedback

A 
Always terminal
Anytime after 7 seconds after a movement
Could be years. 
Less effective
Ex: After a workout telling someone something about their bench press form
62

Verbal feedback

A

Anything that is spoken language

Shorter duration of practices, which are distributed over more sessions

80
Q

Massed vs. Distributed generalizations

A

1) Distributed practices are generally more efficient for learning and performance than are massed
2) Relatively short practices (in time or in number of repetitions) make for more efficient learning than do longer practices
3) Proficiency, which has been gained over a long period of time, is retained better than that which is developed within a short period
4) A high level of motivation enables one to benefit from longer and more concentrated practices than would be possible with a lesser degree of motivation.

81
