lecture 2 Flashcards
Motor control
the study of the neural, physical and behavioural aspects of human movement.
Motor learning
the study of the processes involved in the acquisition of a motor skill and the factors that enhance or inhibit an individual’s capability to perform a motor skill
Motor development
: the study of the products and underlying processes of motor behaviour changes across the life span
skill
the adaptation of one’s coordination patterns to produce functional and beneficial outcomes in contexts that require them (Bennett & Franson, 2023)
ability
(generally) genetically predetermined general trait or capacity of the individual that affects performance (Magill & Anderson, 2021)
Posture
Relative arrangement of the body parts (Kendal et al, 2005)
postural control
1) build up posture against gravity and ensure that balance is maintained; 2) to fix the orientation and position of the segments that serve as a reference frame for perception and action with respect to the external world (Maisson, 1994)
Technique
Any coordination pattern (i.e. the way the nervous system organises the different elements of the body together to move) applied to the performance of a specific motor action
fine motor skills
(e.g., playing piano or writing)
gross motor skills
(e.g., kicking or striking)
Time-constraint taxonomy
- Self-paced skills (e.g., foul shot or golf swing)
Externally-paced skills (e.g., cricket batting or hockey shot).
Anticipatory Postural Adjustments (APAs)
your body creating tension to stand up.
Action Planning
hanging our mouth shape before any sound coming out of our mouths.
what does delierate pratice and free play lead to
permenant change to performance ability (retention) and leads to the ability to transfer skill between movement contexts.
FMS ?
Fundamental motor skills are basic movements that form the foundation for more complex and specialised skills used in play, sports, and other physical activities.
