What are 4 sub-disciplines that relate to kinesiology? How do they aid in student skill acqui-
sition and performance? - ANSWER -Motor Behavior (monitor motor development)
-Exercise Physiology (creating appropriate training)
-Nutrition (daily food choices)
-Biomechanics (proper execution of skills)
What are 4 other sub-disciplines that relate to kinesiology? How do they aid in student skill
acquisition and performance? - ANSWER -Pedagogy (proper teaching)
-Sport History (excite, inspire, caution)
-Sociology (address social dynamics)
-Sport Psychology (understanding motivation)
Biomechanics is the study of... - ANSWER the way the body's muscles, bones, tendons,
and ligaments work to produce movement
Motor Behavior is the study of... - ANSWER how cognitive and biomechanics factors inter-
act to produce motor skills
What are the 3 parts of Motor Skills - ANSWER -locomotor skills
-non-locomotor skills
-manipulative and coordination skills
What are 3 options to maximize participation (accommodations)? - ANSWER -activity
modification (equipment or rules)
-muti-activity design (more than 1 activity choice)
1
, -homogeneous and heterogeneous grouping (equalizing competition)
What is the "normal" developmental progression for a 3yr. old? - ANSWER Gross motor
skills mostly developed; fine motor skills need refining
-stand on 1 foot and balance
-jump in the same spot
-kick a large ball
-throw a ball
-catch a ball
What is the "normal" developmental progression for a 4yr. old? - ANSWER -climb ladders
and trees
-throw a ball with greater distance
-run and maneuver around obstacles
What is the "normal" developmental progression for a 5yr. old? - ANSWER -stand on 1
foot and balance for 10 sec.
-jump in the same spot 10 times
-walking backwards
-using stairs with alternating feet
What is the "normal" developmental progression for a 6-8yr. old? - ANSWER Most gross
and fine motor skills acquired
-movement is more accurate
-though some clumsiness may persist
What is the "normal" developmental progression for an 8yr. old (end of 4th grade)? - AN-
SWER Well developed gross and fine motor skills
-can balance a number of objects at a time
