Unit A Flashcards
What is the Relevace of Growth and Development? (4 points)
- Status (physical size, maturation, performance levels)
- Progress (rate of development - height, weight)
- Comparison and Prediction (abnormalities, interventions)
- Physical Activity and Performance (Is an activity in the best intrest of the individual, or for performance pressure? Are they prepared for stress?)
What are Practical Implications of Growth and Development? (10 points)
- Maturity-Related Behaviour
- Individual Developmental Rediness
- Response to Performance Pressures
- Gender Differences
- Maturational Conciderations
- Nature vs Nurture
- How Skills are Developed
- Universitality vs Variability
- Safety/Liability issues
- Sensitive or Critical Periods
Growth, Maturation and Development are influenced by….
5 things
Nutrition Childhood Disease Physical Activity Levels Envoronmental Stress Other Factors
What is Development? (1 point)
What are the 3 types?
the progressions and regressions that occur throughout the lifespan
3 types: biological, behavioural, and motor
What are the Stages of Development from Conception to Adulthood - ages? (5 stages)
- Prenatal: conception to birth
- Infancy: 0-2 years old
- Childhood: 2-12 years old
early childhood: 2-6 years old
late childhood: 6-12 years old - Adolescence: 12-18 years old
females: 11-18 years old
males: 13-18 years old - Adulthood: 18+ years old
What is Growth?
- definition (2 points)
- types of growth (3 points)
Growth is the structural aspect of development, increase in size
types:
1. Hyperplasia: increase in cell number
2. Hypertrophy: increase in cell size
3. Accretion: increase in intracellular substance
What are the 4 Types of Scammon Growth Curves
- General (Body) Curve
- Neural Curve
- Genital Curve
- Lymphoid Curve
What is Maturation? (6 points)
The functional changes of human development
Highly related to growth
Focuses on attaining the mature biological state
Internal time table
Inferred (mainly unobservable)
Mainly a qualitative funcitonal change
What are the 3 Types of Age?
- Chronological Age: in calandar years/months
- Biological (Growth) Age: observable, measurable
- Maturational Age: inferred, unobservable
What is Motor Development? (1 point)
Motor development is the continuous, interactive, and contextual processes through which a child aquires movement patterns and skills
What is Physical Literacy? (1 point)
individuals who are physically literate move with competence in a wade variety of physical activities that benefit the development of the whole person
What are the 3 Phases of Skill Development? Where is the Proficiency Barrier?
From top of triangle to bottom of triangle:
Specialized Movement
Fundamental Skills
Rudimentary Movement
We all start at the bottom, the Proficiency Barrier is between fundamental skills and specialized movement
What are the 7 Periods of Lifelong Motor Development?
- Reflexive/Spontaneous/Stereotypic Movements
- Rudimentary Phase (infancy)
- Fundamental Movement Phase (2-6 years old)
- Sports Skill Phase (middle - late childhood)
- Growth and Refinement Phase (adolescence)
- Peak Performance (20-30 years old)
- Regression (30+, 1% per year)
What is Motor Learning? (1 point)
study of the processes involved in aquiring and perfecting motor skills, inferred from performance
What is the Objective Skills Assessment? (3 points)
accuracy based
repetitive performance
assesses speed performer can complete given task
What are Performance-Based Assessments? (1 point)
demonstrate specific skills and compotencies in a real-life setting like a game
Early Movement Behaviour
What are the 3 Types of Reflexes?
primative
postural
locomotor
Early Movement Behaviour
What are examples of Spontaneous Movements? (3 points)
rhythmic leg kicking
alternate leg kicking
arm waving
