overbalance
|
=balancing and then slightly shifting the weight (center of gravity) outside of the base of support in order for a transference of weight to occur
ex. headstand into a forward roll |
|
what is difficult of weightbearing for a child?
|
-the fewer # of body parts, or smaller surface of supporting body parts, the more difficult it is to maintain a balance
|
|
countertension
|
=pulling away from the partner to achieve balance
ex. locking hands and leaning backwards, creating a V |
|
counterbalance
|
=two people pushing against one another in order to achieve stability
ex. an inverted V |
|
2 types of body concepts
|
a. weight transference
b. weight bearing |
|
base of support
|
-some body parts are better bases, the wider the base, the more stable the support
ex. the head and hands should form a triangle in a handstand to create a wide base of support |
|
center of gravity
|
-must be above the base of support, the lower the center of gravity, the more stable the balance.
ex. hips should be above the hands in a handstand |
|
counterbalance and countertension characteristics
|
-appropriate for older children in partners
-contact with hands with feet usually base of support -both reqire guidance so children are not carrying the weight of another |
|
2 types of weight bearing
|
a. balance
b. suspension |
|
4 ways gymnastic actions are done
|
a. on the floor (run, jump, roll, slide, step)
b. with an apparatus (climb, jump, roll, slide, step, swing) c. balance (static balance, rock) d. suspend (balance, rock, hang, swing) |
|
static balance
|
=balancing on specific body parts.
ex. head/handstand, and back arch |
|
balance
|
=requires muscular control, a sense of equilibrium, and a sound kinesthetic sense
|
|
weight bearing
|
=various skills of balance and suspension are developed
|
|
what are the component parts of balance
|
a. static or stationary shapes
b. center of gravity is avove the base of support c. shape held for a period of time |
|
what is the most simple body concept?
|
-weightbearing b/c it only deals with how we are supporting our weight
|
|
absorption of force
|
=force needs to be absorbed in order to balance
ex. bending of the knees and then balancing |
|
weight transference
|
=locomotor skills are developed, including jumping, rolling, and stepping activities
|
|
segmented body
|
-stability is greatest when each segment of the body is vertically above the center of gravity of the segment below
ex. handstand should be as straight as possible |
|
law of inertia
|
-an object continues in a state of rest (or uniform motion) unless it is compelled by an external force to change that state
ex. tight muscles will hold, loose will fall |
