Physical Education Flashcards
Define Body Awarness
The understanding of how one’s body moves, the mechanics of motion, and one’s indivual abilities. (where your body is)
Define Space Awarness
The understanding of the physical enviornment which surronds you including distances, levels, and how other people and objects move in relation to oneself. (your body in comparison with other objects)
What is Locomotor movement ?
movements which result in a change of location.
EXAMPLE: running, skipping, jumping
What is movement exploration?
The idea of going out and participating in physical activities and seeing how we move and getting body awarness and seeing how other things move and getting more space awarness.
- greater body and space awarness are attained through movement exploration*
What is non-locomotor movement?
movement or balancing exercises that don’t cause participant to move from one location to another.
EXAMPLE: ring exercises, balancing, and axail movements
What is object manipulation?
Mani=hold
Skills involve precise movements necessary to effectively catch, throw, or swing a bat, club or stick.
- these skills sometimes combine both fine and gross motor skills.
Fine motor skills….
Fine motor movements are things like writting with a pen so it requires small detailed movements (FINGERS)
Gross motor skills…..
Gross motor movements are things like throwing a ball, the big swing of your whole arm, punnching, running, throwing (BIG MOVEMENTS)
What are the types of joints and their characteristics ?
- Hinge joints: things like our elbows that move in one fixed path ( moves 1 direction) (Door: 1 direction)
- Pivot Joints: move in a variety of directions for example the upper body we have the shoulder another example would be the lower body would be the hip (we pivot in basket ball to move directions)
Fast twitch movement in muscles correlates to……..
Anaerobic activites
What is Anaerobic ?
fast twicth movements, usually fast, powerful, explsosive movements. (WEIGHT TRAINNING)
Slow twitch movement in muscles correlate to……
Aerobic activities.
What is Aerobic?
has to do with the replensihment of the air of oxygen. (AIR MOVEMENT, CARDIOVASCULAR, SLOW TWITCH)
CARDIO
What is the role of ligaments?
Ligaments are the reason that our joints hold together and can move (CONNECT BONE TO BONE)
- Ligaments in our knees that allow the bones of our upper and lower leg to be held together so that the knee joint can move
What is the role Tendons?
Tendons on the other hand attach muscles to bones so the muscle can contract ad pull on that bone to make your leg move thats because of a tendon. That tendon attaches the muscle to the bone.
(HOLD MUSCLES TO BONES)
The biomechanics of movement are also influenced by external factors like?
- Gravity: when you jump you come back down
- Friction: things in the air like wind and water. (wind slows you down)
- Newtons Laws of Motion: inertia, meaning objects in motion want to stay in motion unless they’re acted upon by a external force. and force equals mass times accelaration, so the more mass something has the more force it excerts . and reciprocal action
What are Newtons Law of Motion?
First law: intertia, says that the objects in motion want to stay in motion unless they’re acted upon by a net external force. It also says that objects at rest want to stay at rest unless they’re acted upon by a net externak force. (You go along in a straight path unless you turn your body or something is in your path)
Second Law: force equals mass times acceleration so the more mass something has, the more force it exerts. The more acceleration something has also the more force it exerts.
Third Law: reciprocal acions it says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so if I push against the wall I get pushed backwards, the all didnt push me it was my own force that got redirected equally and oppositely back into myself.
What is the fundamental componenets of mature movement when Throwing a baseball?
- Shift weight to front foot, rotate torso, follow through
What are the fundamental components of mature movement when throwing a football?
-Shift weight to front foot, rotate torso, follow through (like throwing a baseball) but you also spin ball off fingertips
What are the fundamental components of mature movement when Swinging a bat?
- Shift weight to front foot, rotate torso, (like throwing a baseball and throwing a football) but you also releasing back during follow through
what are the fundamental components of mature movement when kicking a ball?
-Standing up right, follow through after contact
Why is Cardiovascular exercise important?
Cardiovascular exercise promotes strong heart muscles and good circulation and is an imortant factor in reducing the risk of heart disease, heart attack, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and stroke.
- Aerobic exercise: jogging, running, swimming
- heart muscle, myocardia
- most important exercise that you can go for long term health
Why is Muscular Strength exercise important?
muscular strength and endurance allows indivuals to participate in a greater range of activites and helps support the skelatal system (muscles and bones)
*Anaerobic workouts, core trainning, weight trainning
Why is flexibitlity important ?
Helps indiviuals perform a greater range of actitvities and helps one to avoid muscle and joint injuries.
(stretching muscles to avoid joint injuries)
- doing streches helps you too avoid hyperextending joints or ripping muscles
Safety and Medical factors that apply in PE for children with Asthma?
asthmatic students should still particpate in cardiovascular exercise, but should be allowed to move at a comfortable pace, should have quick and easy acess to inhaler, and should limit exercise temperture or when in air pollution levels are high.
- adaptive physical education: your progam should be modified so that every student can participate and achieve.
- Steroid Inhaler for children who are starting to have an asthma attack
what does a steriod inhaler do?
helps dilate blood vessels in the lungs helps them to absorb oxygen more easily if they are starting to have an asthma attack.
