what does bernstein mean by degrees of freedom
movement possibilities of the MSK system
possible axes of rotation and directions of linear motion
what are the 3 movement constraints that produce movement behaviour
- task
- organism
- environment
the opportunities for action within the environment is defined as what central idea of motor behaviour
affordance
many different ways to achieve a task is defined as what central idea of motor behaviour
redundancy
what is phylogeny
evolution development e.g. how humans became bipedal
what is ontogeny
development across lifespan of individual
what is learning a result of _____ not _____
practice not maturation
can motor learning be observed directly
no
what are fundamental movement skill examples
locomotion, object control (throwing)
what are perceptual motor abilities
the ability to modify posture
what is physical proficiency
balance
what does APA stand for
anticipatory postural adjustment
what is anticipatory postural adjustment
prepares us for upcoming events, important for balance
what is an example of APA
when you shift your weight over before lifting foot off ground or preparing yourself to stand up
what does CPA stand for
compensatory postural adjustment
what does compensatory postural adjustment do
allows you to be successful at the task for a long time
what is an example of CPA
the foot is off the ground an you are trying to balance (swaying side to side)
what is the assessment the product of
measurement
what is norm- reference standards
hierarchical order
what is criterion -reference standards
performance relative to external standards
to complete a comprehensive physical motor assessment what three things do you need
- biological growth
- development (level of functioning)
- motor behaviour (performance)
what are the two ways that motor competence can be assessed
- product e.g. how far someone can jump (result)
- process e.g how the person moves e.g. are there limbs doing what they should
what is validity
are you measuring what you want to measure
what is reliability
are you going to get the same results across multiple measurements
