General Motor Ability Lab Report

Decent Essays
In lab 7.1 we took a look at the general motor ability hypothesi and henrys specifically hypothesis. specify we were looking to see if the general motor ability hypotheses suggests that all motor performances are based on a single ability. such as an all around athlete would possesses a strong gernereall capability for skilled performance then someone with pro head-eye coordination. we put his hypothisies to the test by perfuming both static and dynamic balanings task and compering the results with the other participants. The first two tests were fairly esay for me. the first one was the Stork stand, the participant had to stand their preferred foot while locking their other foot behind the standing legs knee. the participant was then asked to place their hand on their hips, once they were in position they were going to be timed on who long they could hold that position on the ball of their foot. The second test was pretty similar, in that the participant had to balance using both feet on the ball of their foot, but they had to close there eyes. In comparison to the people in my group I was able to hold the positions much longer. for example by best time was 50.32 seconds and …show more content…
i think this is because this test my weight and balnce was shifted the back and i couldn't not find my centere where as being on the ball of my foot i knew right away where my center was due to the background I have. With out even completing the other three test, from the result and information thus far it was clear that the Genreal motor ability hypotheses does not hold true because if i was good and test one and test two then I should be good at test three as well. there would be a very pro correlation between

    Whether you are sitting at a desk doing a physiology lab report, or playing a sport in the park, you are constantly using muscles to accomplish those tasks. The fingers that are used to type the lab report rely on individual myofibrils to contract and cause movement. However, this mechanism occurs on a microscopic level, and predominantly in the myofibers. When a motor neuron experiences an action potential it releases acetylcholine to the motor-end plate which binds to a receptor on the myofibril called the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.…

    Introduction Some people believe that we have only one type of muscle in our bodies that help us with all different types of tasks, however; not only do our bodies have different muscle types, they also contain different muscle fibers that are used for different activities. Skeletal muscle contain three types of muscle fibers: slow twitch, fast twitch oxidative, and fast twitch glycolytic. Most muscles in our bodies have different combinations of these muscle fibers, although our body recruits different muscle fibers for different activities. The first muscle fiber to be recruited are slow twitch fibers, are also known as Type I. “Slow twitch muscle fibers are the smallest in diameter, contain the least amount of actin and myosin, and allow…

    To understand muscle stimulation we will search for a correlation between different workloads for different muscle groups and their respective threshold of stimulation. For this experiment four different frog leg muscles will be measured under varying load ranges. The load will be considered the independent variable with each individual muscle tested being the dependent variable. Each muscle group will be isolated and then tested under an increasing load and increasing threshold stimulus. My hypothesis is that as the size of the muscle increase so will its ability to endure greater loads and have a higher threshold of stimulation.…

    Identify two components of fitness for which you were strongest (indicate the component of fitness, the related fitness test and your score for each test). For each of the two fitness tests you mentioned, what was one physical sign that you were pushing yourself? (i.e. my triceps burned during the push-ups test) The two components of fitness that was my strongest fitness component were Power and Flexibility. During the fitness test my fitness component for Power, I scored a total of 1.27 cm in height, throughout the fitness test the one physical sign that I felt I have pushed myself was that my quadriceps and hamstrings started to burn during the long jump test.…

    Sports have been a part of human history since our very existence. Although, the earliest recorded sporting event was around 776 BC during the ancient Greek era. The literature explains that "The Archaic Age (c. 750–500 BC) laid the foundation for modern athletics when athletic festivals complemented earlier funeral games, and by the mid 6th century Olympia (see OLYMPIC GAMES, ANCIENT) was the greatest of the four Panhellenic crown, or stephanitic, games (non-war games of crown festivals), the others being Delphi's Pythian Games, Corinth's Isthmian Games, and Nemea's Nemean Games" ( Oxford dictionary of sports ) and sporting events like "The Athenian games had an expanded gymnastic programme and prizes (initially sacred olive oil…

    Parallel Bar Reflection

    "This is the first week of starting my training program in the gym and practising the walk on the parallel bars. On my first attempt at the walk on the parallel bars I was able to make the whole length of the bar, but I found that my legs were wobbling too much and my elbows were collapsing to often. This meant that I needed to focus on my core exercises to lessen the wobbling of of my legs and I also needed to focus on my upper body strength to keep my elbows firm and locked, for the full length of the bar. I feel quite happy with my start and progress, I had no injuries because of the warm up at the start of each lesson. My recovery stretches really helped as my core in particular was quite sore after doing some extra planks.…

    There are two types of motor abilities per Fleishmen’s model: perceptual and physical. Some perceptual motor abilities required to perform a lay-up are: multi-limb coordination, control precision, rate control, manual dexterity, finger dexterity, arm hand steadiness and visual acuity. Some physical motors abilities required to perform a lay-up are: dynamic strength and muscular endurance. Some decisions that pupil must make when approaching the lay-up are: how to approach the basket? Where on the backboard is the target?…

    Furthermore, I did the eyes closed trial immediately after the eyes open trial, without taking any breaks. This means I was standing on one leg for a long time, which can be a factor as to why the best time was smaller in eyes closed. Another limitation that could affect performance in this one leg stand test is the individual’s…

    By paying attention to these factors which he refers to as constraints, it is evident that there is much more to simple every day movements than what meets the eye. Newell’s Model of Constraints is most commonly represented as a triangle with three key points, each of which if changed would play a highly influential role in the outcome of a movement. While developing this model Newell pressured that “we must consider all three corners of the triangle in order to understand motor development” (Getchell & Haywood, 2014, P.6). When Newell originally created the model he pressured that “to understand human movement, we must consider the relationships between the characteristics of the individual mover, his surroundings, and his purposed or reasons for moving” (Getchell & Haywood, 2014, P.6). As a result, Newell broke down the influential factors in movement to three categories; individual, environmental and task constraints.…

    According to the American Psychiatric Association, the developmental co-ordination disorder can be defined as a neuro-developmental condition (DCD) that affects a child’s ability to perform everyday tasks in self-care and academic areas. Other terms for this disorder/Synonyms for DCD includes motor delays, clumsiness, clumsiness -motor delay, developmental delay, gross motor and fine motor developmental delay, developmental apraxia, disorder of attention and motor perception, developmental dyspraxia, perceptuo-motor dysfunction, motor learning difficulty and sensorimotor dysfunction (Gibbs, Appleton and Appleton, 2007).
