and Answers Complete
Components of Health-Related Fitness
1. Cardio respiratory Endurance
2. Muscular Strength
3. Muscular Endurance
4. Flexibility
5. Healthy Body Composition
National Association for Sport and PE (NASPE)'s
Identifies quality PE as both developmentally and instructionally appropriate for the
actual children involved.
Developmentally + Instructionally Appropriate
Consider both physical and cognitive development by enabling students to analyze,
communicate, question, integrate, apply concepts, and attain multicultural worldviews.
Also promotes affective development throughout the school year.
Physical Fitness
Defines the individual as being able to complete all of one's daily living tasks without
become overly tired and still having enjoyment for other actives.
Effective fitness programs include: aerobic exercises, resistant training, and flexibility.
Body + Spacial Awareness
Pointing, touching, seeing different parts of the body
Fit body into differently sized and shaped spaces
Spacial Concepts: up, down, right, left, forward, backwards, diagonal. (Levels: low,
medium, high)
Movement Concepts
Pathways + PLANES (vertical, horizontal, circle)
Energy (short term, high term)
Time (shorter, longer)
Speed (slow, medium, fast)
Force (soft, hard)
Torque
Rotational version of force. How much given force can make something/someone rotate
or turn.
Example. Skater with longer arms, rotates quicker.
Bio mechanical Summation
Summation of forces is to attain maximal force with any movement that used multiple
muscles in a manner that enables generating the maximum force possible.
, Concept: Force-motion states that, when we produce or change movement, unbalanced
forces act upon our bodies or objects we manipulate.
Locomotor Skills Vs. Non locomotor Skills
Walking, running, hopping, jumping, skipping, galloping, sliding, galloping sideways,
leaping.
Bending, twisting, curling, swaying..
Fundamental Motor Skills
Running, jumping vertically, leaping, dodging, kicking, overhand throwing, catching, ball
bouncing, punting, forehand striking, and two handed side arm striking.
Manipulative + Object Control Skill
Fine Motor: zipping zippers, clasps, twist ties, pencils, drawing, using utensils...
Manipulative: pushing, pulling, lifting, swinging, sticking, throwing, catching, kicking,
rolling a ball, bouncing, dribbling (using an object or piece of equipment)
Stages of Human Life (8)
Infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, late childhood, adolescence, early
adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood.
Piaget's Stages for Cognitive Development
Infants are in the sensorimotor stage of cognitive development, perceiving the world
through receiving sensory stimuli and responding and interacting through motor
activities.
Erikson's Stages of Psychosocial Development
Trust vs. Mistrust
Initiative vs. Guilt
Industry vs. inferiority
Identity vs. role confusion
Intimacy vs. Isolation
Generativity vs. Stagnation
Integrity vs. Despair
Gross + Fine Motor Milestones
Birth: Rooting, sucking, grasping
3-6: roll over, pull body forward, grasp edges, reach and grasp objects.
6-9: crawl, grasp objects and pull towards, transfer toys between hands.
9-12: sitting up, standing up, walking without assistance.
1-2 years: Body balance + hand-eye coordination.
Alactic Anaerobic
Lactic Anaerobic
Short (10 seconds or less) not producing lactic acid
Exercise up to 90 seconds
**Both do not use oxygen!!
Somatotype (Individual Body Types or Body Shapes)
1. Ectomorph: long, narrow, thin shape with minimum fat. (Long distance running, high
jump)
