essential organ of the body with needs to be developed (sensory system) |
|
tactile defined |
touching system which needs to be developed |
|

|
3 out of the 10 key factors of LTAD that were studying |
fundamentals developmental age physical, mental, cognitive and emotional development |
|
3 pre-walking movements |
crawling: scooting along creeping: hands and knees, contralateral pattern happening for the first time in their development locomoting with hands held |
|
2 reasons why locomotion with hands held is a major limitation? |
1. hands are required to move 2. child cannot explore the environment |
|
walking defined |
characterized by a progressive alteration of leading legs and continuous contact with the support surface |
|
gait cycle |
the mature walking pattern |
|
gait cycle/walking cycle |
distance covered by 2 heel strikes of the same foot |
|
phases of the gait cycle |
swing phase- beings when one foot of one leg leaves the support surface - ends when foot touches the surface support phase- time when balance is maintained on one foot -right foot swing phase while left foot is in support phase double support phase-when both feet are in contact with the ground |
|
what does independent walking require? |
1.leg strength 2.equilibrium |
|
dynamic base |
a change in the wide of the base of support from wide (immature) to narrow (mature) |
|
running (natural extension of walking) |
characterized by: - an alternate support phase, -flight phase -recovery phase |
|
requirements of running |
-lower limb strength to propel body through the air -lower limb strength to handle the additional force -improved motor coordination to control the moving legs |
|
immature running/walking consists of 3 things: |
1. wide base support 2. arms held in high guard position 3. flat-footed contact with floor |
|
Running - pattern phases |
1. support 2. flight 3. recovery |
|
running- support and flight phases |
leg absorbs the impact of striking foot, supports the body, and maintains forward motion while accelerating the bodies COG as the leg provides thrust to propel the body forward |
|
running-recovery phase |
-back leg is brought forward quickly -experienced runners flex the knee so the recovery foot comes close to hitting the buttocks -inexperienced runners have very little knee and hip flexion |
|
running -arm action |
beginning: arms are flexed and held in high guard position adult- like: arms are lowered and hang free, but do not help with running speed; arms swing across midline of the body experienced: arms are in opposition to legs, elbow flexed at 90 degrees, extreme pumping action midline |
|
female running speed peak age |
14 to 15 years old |
|
male running speed peak age |
beyond 17 years |
|
jumping defined |
body is projected into the air by force generated in one or both legs and the body lands on one or both feet |
|
2 forms of jumping |
1. hopping 2. leaping |
|
4 phases of jumping |
1. preparatory phase 2. takeoff phase 3. flight phase 4. landing phase |
|
jumping- preparatory phase |
-crouch (flexion at hips, knees, ankles) -backward swing of the arms these are missing inexperienced jumpers |
|
jumping- takeoff and flight phase |
rapid and vigorous extension of the hips, knees and ankles along with vigorous swing of the arms in the direction of desired travel provide the impetus for the body to become airborne |
|
hopping |
one foot is used to project the body into space with landing on the same foot (performed better on the preferred foot & requires additional strength and balance) |
|
Gallop |
-a forward step followed by a leap onto the trailing foot -same leg always leads |
|
slide |
same as a gallop except instead of moving forward, the slide if formed in a sideward direction -difficult because the child must face ahead while moving in a sidewards direction |
|
skipping |
most difficult motor pattern of the 3 forward step followed by a hop on the same foot alternation of the leading leg |
|
3 phases of over arm throwing |
preparatory phase: all movements directed away from the intended line of projection execution phase: all movements performed in the direction of the throw follow through: all movements following the release of the projectile |
|
catching |
the action of bringing an airborne object under control by using the hands and arms |
|
How do children at first attempt catching an airborne object? |
sit on the floor with legs spread apart |
|
first attempt at an airborne object is passive |
tosser throws the ball so the child can use the outstretched arms and body to catch |
|
striking |
fundamental movement in which a designated body part or some implement is used to project an object |
|
stationary ball bouncing |
advanced levels, a person bounces or dribbles a ball using the hand to push the ball repeatedly downward |
|
kicking |
another form of striking - foot is used to give impetus to the ball |
|
key concept of specialized movement skills |
development of specialized movement skills is highly dependent upon opportunities for practice, encouragement, quality instruction, and the ecological context of the environment |
|
specialized skills defined |
proficient fundamental movement skills that have been further refined and combined |
|
developmental reality- oftentimes lag behind because of: |
- insufficient opportunities for practice -ineffective or absent appropriate instruction -ecological context of the environment |
|
the proficiency barrier |
inability to move from fundamental movement, skill phase to the specialized skill phase due to lack of proficiency in locomotor, manipulative or stability skill(s) |
|
youth sport |
interest is high but the drop out rate is 20-35 mill from 6-18 in the USA |
|
sport skills |
proficient fundamental movement skills refined, combined, adapted to a particular competitive setting |
|
why kids join sport programs |
1. increase physical competence: learn new skills and improve skills 2. gain social acceptance & approval: be with and make new friends 3. enjoyment: have fun and do something interesting |
|
examples of early specialization in sports |
