PE Praxis 5095 Content and Design Questions and Answers
What disciplines combine to create the foundation for physical education? Human
Movement and Physical Fitness (motor and health-related); and is based on the following
disciplines: motor learning, motor development, kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise
physiology, sport psychology, sport sociology, and aesthetics.
What is kinesiology? study of human movement
What is the relationship between kinesiology and biomechanics? Kinesiology and
biomechanics work together to help determine what exercises a person should do, how the
workouts should be conducted and how effective the exercise is and if the exercise is safe.
How does an understanding of kinesiology help a person to teach physical education? An
understanding of kinesiology can guide teachers in helping their students decide what workout
would be best for each student.
How do movement concepts impact students' ability to learn? Recent finding have linked
movement to both cognitive skill and emotional health and well being. Children who have
higher self-esteem are much more likely to learn better and also develop better social skills.
What is the overall importance of exercise physiology in relation to physical education? It
is what happens to the body as it exercises a single time, how these changes are brought about,
what changes in function occur after repeated bouts of exercise and how these changes come
to pass, and finally, what can be done to improve the body's response to exercise and its
adaptation to training.
, How does the body react to exercise? An acute/short term change in the body due to
exercise
Ex.) HR goes up, sweating
What are the components of exercise physiology?
How can an understanding of exercise physiology contribute to lifelong fitness?
Understanding exercise physiology is understanding all of the benefits your body gains
from exercise, different methods of exercise, how to create an exercise plan, etc.
What are the different types of exercise a person can engage in? Aerobic, anaerobic,
isometric, isotonic, isokinetic
What are the body systems and how do they interact? Circulatory/Cardiovascular,
Respiratory, Nervous, Digestive, Muscular, and Skeletal. They all interact to help our body
operate and survive.
What roles do the body systems play in an understanding of physical education?
How does the law impact teaching physical education?
