Question 1

biomechanics

Answer 1

physics (mechanics) of motion exhibited or produced by biological systems

Question 2

kinesiology

Answer 2

multidisciplinary study of human motion, including the anatomical, biomechanics, cultural, motor, pedagogical, physiological, psychological, and sociological aspects of motion

Question 3

mechanics

Answer 3

branch of physics concerned with the side effect of forces and energy on the motion of bodies

Question 4

statics

Answer 4

branch of mechanics concerned with objects in a state of equilibrium (at rest or in a constant state of motion)

Question 5

dynamics

Answer 5

branch of mechanics concerned with objects in a state of accelerated or changing motion

Question 6

kinetics

Answer 6

study of forces that inhibit, cause, facilitate, or modify motion of a body

Question 7

kinematics

Answer 7

study or description of the spatial and temporal characteristics of motion without regard to the causative forces

Question 8

spatial

Answer 8

relating to, or with respect to, the three dimensional world

Question 9

temporal

Answer 9

relating to, or with respect to, time

Question 10

exercise physiology

Answer 10

the study of physiology under conditions in which physical work has caused disrupted homeostasis

Question 11

motor control

Answer 11

mechanisms used by the nervous system to control and coordinate the movements of the musculoskeletal system

Question 12

motor development

Answer 12

progression of motor control throughout the life span because of maturation

Question 13

motor learning

Answer 13

relatively permanent changes in proficiency of motor control through experience and/or practice

Question 14

ergonomics

Answer 14

discipline concerned with human-machine interaction

Question 15

physical therapy

Answer 15

field dedicated to evaluating and treating movement abnormalities

Question 16

occupational therapy

Answer 16

field focused on helping people to improve their ability to carry out activities of daily living and self-care tasks after an injury, disability, or other health condition

Question 17

sports medicine

Answer 17

field dedicated to the prevention, immediate treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries that occur during sports participation

Question 18

adapted movement

Answer 18

movement patterns that emerge because of compensation for changes to the physical body

Question 19

pedagogy

Answer 19

study of principles and methods of instruction

Question 20

coaching

Answer 20

study of principles and methods of instructing athletes

Question 21

functional anatomy

Answer 21

study of the specific functions of individual structures that make up an organism

Question 22

open-loop

Answer 22

movements occurring too rapidly to be modified by sensory feedback

Question 23

closed-loop

Answer 23

movements that can change during performance because of sensory feedback

Question 24

proprioceptors

Answer 24

muscle, tendon, joint, and other receptors that provide information about position, force, velocity and more

Question 25

occupational biomechanics

Answer 25

specialized area of biomechanics focused on human mechanisms in work environments

Question 26

sports medicine

Answer 26

field dedicated to the prevention, immediate treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries that occur during sports participation

Question 27

adapted physical education

Answer 27

the process of modifying equipment, the environment, or both in order to successfully teach movement activities to all populations
