kin exam Flashcards
What is the difference between Paralympic and special Olympics
Main difference in the philosophy.
Special olympics- power of sport to help those who participate full fill their potential.
Paralympics- Competitive.
Must fulfill a certain standard
. Elite performance.
what are components of growth/development (4)
physical- growth bones, muscles, energy systems
cognitive- interpret and process info, establishment of persons self concept and self awarness
social- development of relationships with others
emotional- manage and regulate emotions
concept of age
chronological age
skeletal age
developmental age
chronological age- measured in years/months
skeletal age- indicated by physical maturity of a skeleton
developmental age- interaction between physical, cognitive, social, emotional
R.A.E
relative age effect
age different for development
jan vs dec babies competition
Canada physical activity guidelines
- recommends adults/ senoirs 150 min activty per week
-strength x2 per week
peak height velocity
measure of max rate of growth in stature (height) occurs in growth spurt
critical periods of human growth/development
-hormonal changes- bones more susceptible to growing/denser
-stronger our bones are at a young age- more protection to decay later in life
what are the two main sequences that effect development?
cephalocaudal sequence
- growth progress first in head, followed by trunk
Proximodistal sequence
- body movements that originate close to the center of body develop earlier
why are infants unstable
center of mass is higher when infants- relativity unstable
factors effecting physical growth and development- hormonal activity-
endocrine gland
-produce and release hormones
- regulate metabolism
- growth and development
-tissue function. sexual function, reproduction and sleep
pituitary gland> HGH- high growth hormone
responsible for stimulations of bone/muscular development
decrease after 30- less lean muscle mass
thyroid gland- thyroxine
metabolic functions, normal growth and development
gonadal gland
secrets testosterone and estorgen
heredity
transmission of genetic characteristics
from parents to offspring
stages in motor learning
(3)
personal development- physical/psychological factors
cognitive stage
- basic understanding how to perform a task
associative stage
-begin to refine skills, aware of mistakes that making
autonomous stage
-don’t have to think about it
fundamental movement skills
stability (balance)
locomotion (traveling)
manipulation (object control)
skill transferability
transfer skills to improve performance in another activity
long term athlete development (LTAD)
relationship between fundamental movement skills and physical literacy
title IV
-section of the U.S educational legislation
-equal opportunity legislation passed in 1972
-prohibited gender discrimination in any schools
- allowed girls to have same physical education and sport opportunities( paved the way for more scholarships)
gender defining rules
NCAA VS IOC guidelines
IOC- whatever gender you identify as
NCAA- must transition before 12
NCAA- monitor hormonal levels
-fall under federation guidelines for sport, if no federation follow IOC
difference between professional, semi professional and amateur?
Professional- paid to compete in sport
Amateur- personal enjoyment, not paid, rely on government funding
Semi-professional- blend of professional and amateur
Canadian sport for life (CS4L)
promotes physical activity based on developmental age rather than chronological age
own the podium
- not for profit
-additional finances and programing to help high skilled athletes succeed
-largest funding for Canadian armature athletes
purpose of helmets
DONT prevent concussions
prevent skull fractures
spinal cord injury- quadriplegia
prevents movements of both arms and legs
spinal cord injurie- paraplegia
prevents use of legs but arms are not effected
average recovery time concussion
1-2 weeks adult
3-5 weeks children
CTE
chronic traumatic encephalopathy
degenerative brain disease found in athletes, veterans, history of repetitive brain trauma
-diagnosed after death
-protein clumps called tau form clumps that slowly spread throughout the brain slowly killing brain cells
-effect patients mood, behavior, problems thinking and progressive dementia
-cause by repetitive hits
brain imaging- plasticity
when nerve pathways get effected. brain adapts to damage by using other pathways (plasticity)
take take to adapt
when older- brain already maxed out on development- vulnerable cannot adapt anymore
media coverage and female athletes
40% of all athletes are woman
43% of college scholarships are given to woman
they only receive 2-4% media coverage (usually out of uniform based on looks/sexual poses)
why do females have more concussions
-females have a higher risk and report more than male
-female axon more likely to be damaged (fewer microtubules)
-females have decrease neck strength. smaller neck size, hormonal differences
-female take longer to recover *reported
sponsorship vs endorsement
promotion in association product/event service
vs
celeberty lending their name to a product
how many bones are in the human body
206 bones
300 at birth- several bones fuse together as growth takes place
14% body weight
what happens during osteoporosis?
ways to prevent
- bones become increasingly more weak/brittle and breakable
-low bone mass/deterioration, more susceptible to bone fractures
-degenerative disease
-no cure- prevent by:
-balanced diet
-weight bearing exercise
-avoidance of smoking
what does collagen (protein) help
- gives bone flexibility, helps resist pulling forces
-with age collagen is slowly lost and bone becomes more brittle
what is calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate responsible for?
60-70% of bone weight
provides bones with stiffness and resistance
what are the five basic types of bones
long bone (femur/thigh)
-flat bone (roof/skull)
-irregular bone (vertebra)
-sesamoid bone (patella)
-short bone (wrist bone)
what is the diaphysis?
where the bone is the thickest
