Back 25

early childhood = bellybutton
later = pelvis

Front 26

stats on post-menopausal bone fractures

Back 26

1/2 will experience one related to osteoporosis

Front 27

Regular physical activity, started early in childhod can: (related to bone health)

Back 27

increase peak bone mass
delay onset of bone loss
reduce rate of loss

Front 28

Phylogenetic skills

Back 28

occur in a predictable sequence and develop automatically (Motor milestones)

(grasping, walking, etc.)

Front 29

Ontogenetic behaviours

(Kinder who cannot tie shoes)

Front 32

Movement awareness

Back 32

monitoring, interpreting, correctly responding to sensory experiences

Front 33

Body awareness

Back 33

correctly identifying body parts and their relationships to each other

may also include knowledge of capabilities and limitations

Front 34

Spatial Awareness

Back 34

the ability to recognize and respond to objects in 3D space - sense of location in relation to environment

Front 35

Visual Awareness

Back 35

needed for spatial awareness

depth & distance perception, form discrimination, visual-motor coordination

Front 36

Rhythmic Awareness

Back 36

genetic & environmental factors (physical activity & diet)

Front 40

A child's environment can

Back 40

facilitate or delay motor development

Front 41

how to handle sensitive development periods

Back 41

create good environmental influences

capitalize on opportunities

Front 42
