the amount of time in which the impact occurs or _____________________ the area
over which the impact occurs. - ✔✔Decrease; Increase; Increase
To throw as hard as he can a pitcher flexes his arm to decrease _______during the
"windup" then extends his arm to increase ________________ before ball release. -
✔✔Inertia; Radius of Rotation
In running, the lower body twists one way and the upper body twists the opposite way.
This movement pattern creates a(n) __________ amount of force than if this movement
were not present. - ✔✔Greater
To increase stability you should - ✔✔widen the base of support and lower the center of
gravity
Which of the following would increase your running speed? - ✔✔Pump arms forward
and backwards
The theoretical perspective that most clearly omits environmental influences is -
✔✔Maturational
Describe the relationship between stability and mobility. How is balance an example of

Relative growth rates of different body parts affects motor development. Which of the
following correctly illustrates this relationship? - ✔✔The larger head relative to the rest
of the body in a toddler limits stability.
Which of the following is a true statement about postnatal growth patterns? - ✔✔After
the age of 3 individuals tend to maintain their percentile position in comparison with
group norms (e.g. if they are at 40 the percentile they tend to remain at 40th percentile
as they grow).
The developing child is termed a(n) __________________ from the second to eight
week of prenatal development. - ✔✔Embryo
