Physical Education

Question 0

Ability to arrange objects in a logical progression, like shortest to longest.

Question 3

Assimilation

Answer 3

Blending new information with prior knowledge.

Question 4

Accommodation

Answer 4

Adjustment of new information to fit a new experience.

Question 5

Answer 5

Complex style, appealing to the senses, involving strong emotion, also emphasized depth and space. Landscapes were popular, usually did not include people.

Question 6

Locomotor skills

Answer 6

Skills used to move the body from one location to another (i.e. Jumping, running, skipping, hopping, leaping, sliding, galloping, walking, etc).

Question 7

Nonlocomotor skills

Answer 7

These are activities where an individual does not have to change location to practice an activity. Ex. Stretching, pushing, twisting, circling, and calisthenic activities.

Question 8

Manipulative skills

Answer 8

Participant handles play objects like bats, balls, wands and hoops. Activities increase eye/hand, eye/foot and hand/foot coordination. They also increase tracking skills and dexterity and propulsion skills.

Question 9

Specialized skills

Answer 9

Skills related to a specific sport, game or apparatus. They are structured skills that apply specific rules, guidelines and techniques.

Question 10

Gross motor skills

Answer 10

Skills that use large muscle skills.

Fine motor skills use smaller muscle movements (manipulative) to perform the activity.

Question 11

Directional vocabulary

Answer 11

Horizontal, vertical, diagonal, circular, etc.

Speed, acceleration, deceleration, rhythm, etc.

Force and effort (how fast can you stop? Or what body mechanics improve force?)

Flow - the direction of the movement.

Question 12

Body factors

Answer 12

Unilateral - one side
Bilateral - two sides
Cross-lateral - each side working independently
Anterior - the front of the body
Posterior - the back of the body

Question 13

Classifying movement patterns

Answer 13

Unstructured movement - exploring involving response, experimentation, exploration, and balance. (Example - scavenger hunt). May be PE & science at the same time.

Structured movement - involves a specific skill that can be quantified. (Relay race). Keep score, etc.

Question 14

Perceptual-motor Competencies.

Answer 14

General coordination - ability to move in rhythm with muscular control.
Balance - control of the center of gravity.
Static balance - stationary balance (ex. riding a bike).
Rotational balance - movement in circular motion (ex. Pivoting in basketball).

Question 15

Rhythmic activities

Answer 15

Basic movement using the medium of rhythm and often includes locomotor, no locomotor, and manipulative skill. (Ex. Jump rope for Hearts to music).

Integral component of a comprehensive physical education program - 40% of K activities can be rhythmic.

Question 16

Principle of Learning

Answer 16

Readiness - ability to learn and understand movement patterns which is influenced by coordination, maturation, physique, and experiences.
Motivation - influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic rewards.
Form and Technique - Sound mechanical principles in learning a skill.

Question 17

Throwing

Answer 17

Arm swings back
Elbow moves forward
Trunk rotates toward the throwing side of the body
Weight shift during follow through

**evaluate student readiness: eye/hand coordination, stance, arm movement.

Question 18

Catching

Answer 18

• -Eye follows the ball or object
• Elimination of avoidance (fear)
• -Arm bends at the elbow
• Relaxed
• -Object is brought toward the body (absorb force)
• Non-rigid catching style - hands brought together the catch is made.

Question 19

Fitness: Exercise and Health

Answer 19

Conditioning - an exercise program to counteract heart disease and other circulatory problems.

Factors include diet and regular exercise.

Poor physical conditioning contributes to coronary heart disease (40% of all deaths and blood circulatory problems).

Question 20

Fitness tests measure:

Answer 20

Body conformation
Body balance
Agility
Muscular power
Endurance
Flexibility
Strength

Question 21

FITT - Prescription for Aerobic Exercise

Answer 21

F - Frequency: How often? 3 x’s per week w/no more than 2 days off.

I - Intensity: How hard?

T - Time: How long? 20 minutes

T - Type: What activity?

Question 22

Fitnessgram Assessment

Answer 22

Aerobic capacity - 1 mile run/walk

Body Composition - Percent of fat (20% mildly obese; 40% moderately obese; 100% severely obese)

Muscle fitness - curl ups, push ups.
Students must meet certain standard=criterion.

Question 23

Nutrition

Answer 23

Daily caloric requirements depend on age, size and activity (older folks need fewer calories)

Maintenance Diet vs. Reducing Diet

Question 24

Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats

Answer 24

Proteins include essential amino acids.
Sources of protein include meat, dairy products, fish, nuts, whole grains, and beans - 20% of diet.

Carbohydrates - sources include bread, cereal, rice, potatoes, and beets - 55%-60% of your daily diet.

Question 25

Fats

Answer 25

Saturated fats - solid at room temperature.
Unsaturated fats - sources are oils and some foods (nuts, avocados).
Cholesterol - natural fatty substance only found in animals, made in the liver. Excess=200 and up. Blood fat levels indicate the amount of cholesterol in the body.
LDL - low density lipoproteins BAD(Lousy)
HDL - high density lipoproteins GOOD(Happy)

Question 26

Vitamins and Minerals

Answer 26

Fat soluble - A, D, E and K; can be dangerous if too much is ingested.

Water soluble - other vitamins

Question 27

Blood pressure

Answer 27

Force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries.

Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood AWAY from the heart. All arteries, except pulmonary and umbilical arteries, carry oxygenated blood.
Veins carry blood to the heart.

Question 28

Blood pressure continued.

Answer 28

Resting Blood Pressure - Normal diastolic is under 85 and systolic under 140

Resting Heart Rate - 40 to 90 beats per minute (regular exercise lowers the heart rate)

Question 29

Breathing and Lungs

Answer 29

Aerobics - oxygen based exercise (running, walking, swimming). Good for the heart.

Anaerobic - exercise for short amounts of time at high power levels (football, baseball, sprinting). Not particularly good for the heart.
