Revision tasks Flashcards
What are some of the fundamental motor skills?
Common movement activities such as running, jumping, catching, throwing, kicking, and striking.
What does skill acquisition relate to?
How individuals learn motor skills.
What is biomechanics?
The science that applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human movement
What can summation of forces involve?
Either sequential summation of forces or simultaneous summation of forces
What does impulse refer to?
Impulse refers to the amount of force applied to an object and the period of time over which this force is applied.
What can impulse do?
It can be manipulated to increase the change in momentum of an object or decrease the risk of injury.
What is speed of release determined by?
Speed of release is largely determined by the principles of force production (summation of force and impulse).
What factors does the stability of an object depend on
The area of the object’s base of support; the height of the center of gravity of the object above the base of support; and the position of the line of gravity relative to the base of support.
What measures are used to assess movement proficiency?
observation, checklists, rubrics and rating scales, measurements, norm- and criterion-referenced standards and percentile ranks, and statistical information.
How should skills be practiced?
Skills should be practised through basic skill drills to begin with, before continuing on to more complex intermediate and advanced drills, and, eventually, to game-like practices such as grid games and game sense drills.
