|
Cognitive domain: the brain's ability to gather and retain info and knowledge, like remembering choreography affective domain: describes emotional behaviors, beliefs, and attitudes, like associating fitness learning with positive feelings psychomotor domain: refers to activies requiring movement, like physical side of learning a new motor skill |
Domains of learning When teaching a motor skill, learning takes place in these three levels of human behavior |
|
Cognitive: movements are new to participant, errors are made Associative: improvements in basic fundamental of the skill, can concentrate on cues now and improve performance Autonomous: motor skill becomes automatic or habitual |
Fitts and Posner: Stages of learning for motor skills |

steps for managing an asthma attack |
|
pursed-lip breathing diaphramatic breathing |
breathing techniques |
|

exercise considerations for participants with asthma |
|
inflammation of joints, degenerative joint disease |
Arthritis |
|
-avoid vigorous exercise during acute flare-ups and periods of inflammation, but still do gentle ROM exercises -stop exercise if joint pain is too severe -explain that a small amount of joint and/or muscle discomfort during exercise is normal, and that it does not necessarily mean that damage has occurred to the joints -perform an adequate warm up and cool down -start with light aerobic exercise -dynamic flexibility exercises - water temps for aquatic exercise should be between 83-88 degrees to relax muscles |
exercise considerations for participants with osteoarthritis |
|
exercise can have a significant effect on lowering blood glucose proper timing of medication administration and nutrient consumption -measuring blood glucose levels before and after exercise, if levels are below 100mg they should have a small carb snack before activity -levels should be between 100 and 300mg |

exercise considerations for older adults |
|
-children sweat less which allows them to conserve water better than adults -MHR is higher than the adult population (200-205 bpm) -gamify exercise sessions to increase adherence -use light-weight equipment and supervise |
exercise considerations for youth |
|
-exercising in temperature-controlled areas and eating a snack before exercise will promote safe exercise for the baby -the center of gravity will be off when the belly grows resulting in poor balance and coordination -more flexible during pregnancy -avoid repetitive jumping or skipping and deep knee bends -incorproate exercises for postural muscles -avoid long periods of standing -extended warm up and cool down -avoid prone and supine exercises and do side-lying and all-fours instead |
