considers human movement from a range of standpoints—historical, psychological,
Exercise science
physiological.
The study of the human body as a machine for work focuses on movement, relying
Kinesiology
on biomechanics, muscles and bones, and how nerves control muscles.
Biomechanics is the study of forces and the effects of those forces on and within the human body
is the study of how bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and muscles, form a
Musculoskeletal anatomy
framework for and work in the body.
Neuromuscular physiology is the study of how the nervous system and muscles work together
movement that involves the large muscles of the body—torso, legs, and arms.
Gross motor skills
Ex. jumping
movement that involves the small muscles of the body—wrists, hands, fingers, feet,
and toes.
Fine motor skills
Ex. writing
skills used by an individual to move from one place to another.
Locomotor skills
These skills include rolling, balancing, sliding, jogging, running, leaping, dodging,
galloping, and skipping.
skills used where the body stays in one place. These movements involve one or more
parts of the body maintaining contact with the ground.
Nonlocomotory skills
These skills include stretching, hopping in place, push-ups, sit-ups, and twisting.
What is an example of Locomotor Skills Sliding
, - Low flight pattern
- Feet do not cross
Correct Slide Technique - Body is facing forward while the body moves side to side
- Knees are bent
- Arms are out in a T-shape
- High flight pattern where the student is bouncing up and down rather than side to
side
- Feet cross
Incorrect Slide Technique
- Body faces to the side
- Knees are straight
- Arms are static to the side of the body
What is an example of nonlocomotory Yoga
skills?
Cognitive, Associative, Autonomous Three stages of motor learning
During this initial stage of motor learning, the goal is to develop an overall
Cognitive
understanding of the skill. 1st Stage
During this stage, the learner begins to demonstrate refined movements through
Associative
practice. 2nd Stage
This is the final stage of learning: the motor skill becomes mostly automatic. 3rd
Autonomous
Stage
The combination of forces produced by different parts of the human body. This
occurs when all body parts act simultaneously. The strongest and lowest body parts
Summation of forces around the center of gravity—trunk and thighs—move first, followed by the weaker,
lighter, and faster extremities—arms and hands. This is known as sequential
acceleration and results in successive force summation.
is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Force, weight, pressure, specific weight, and torque are kinetic vector quantities
Vectors (Hall,1953)
displacement, velocity, and acceleration are kinematic vector quantities.
For a ___________ to be fully defined, it must have both magnitude and direction.
Vector Composition When vectors are added together:
Vector Resolution When vector movements are perpendicular (horizontal and vertical)
these possess magnitude but have no particular direction associated with them.
Scalar quantities
Mass, volume, length, and speed are examples of scalar quantities.
Center of gravity (COG) - The COG can be this is an imaginary point in a body of matter where the total weight of the body is
on the inside or outside of the body concentrated.
this is also called force and velocity relationships. The relationship between force
and speed (velocity) is inverse, meaning, the more force you have to exert on an
object, the less speed you will have.
Force/speed relations
For example, if you are squatting 250 lbs., your speed of the squat is going to be
much slower than if you were squatting 50 lbs. Therefore, the bigger the weight, the
more force needed, which means speed is reduced.
Torque twisting or rotating.
