Cognitive
The learner is endeavoring to understand the nature and/ or goal of the activity to be learned.
Dynamography
Technique used to measure the forces produced during a movement.
Body Composition
Description of the body in terms of muscle, bone, fat, and other elements.
Autonomous
Reached after much practice. The learner can perform the skill consistently with few errors. The skill has become almost automatic.
Dr.Kenneth Cooper
Publish book Aerobics,The new Aerobics. He was a pioneer in promoting Aerobic Exercise.
Biomechanics
The application fo scientific principles of mechanics to understand movements and actions of human bodies and sport implements.
Lever
Mechanical device used to produce a turning motion about a fixed point, called and AXIS.
Ergogenic Aids
Work-producing substances or phenomena believed to increase perfomance.
3rd-class lever
The force is between the fulcrum and weight.
Physical Fitness
Ability of the body's systems to function efficiently and effectively.
Motivation
A condition within an individual that initiates activity directed toward a goal.
Motor Learning
The study of the acquisition of motor skills as a result of practice and experience.
Newtons First law
The law of inertia states that a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion at the same speed and in the same directin unless acted on by some outside force.
Gravity
Force that accelerates all objects vertically toward the center of the earth.
Kinetics
Study of forces that act on a system, such as gracity and muscles
Weight or resistance arm
The distance from the fulcrum to the wieght on which the force is acting
Newton's Second Law
The law of acceleration states that a change in velocity (acceleration) of an object is directly proportional to the force producing it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Mass
Amount of matter possessed by an object.
Nonlocomotor(Axial Movements)
Done from relativly stationary postion, using a stable base of support.
Statics
The study of factors relating to nonmoving systems such as studying factors the contribute to stability and balance.
Fundamental Motor Skills
Locomotor,Nonlocomotor,Manipulative Skils
Kinematics
Describing motion and includes the study of time and space factors in motion such as velocity and acceleration.
Manipulative Skills
Handling objects;throwing, catching, striking, and kicking are examples.
Electromygraphy
Used to measure the electrical activity produced by a muscle or muscle group.
Feedback
Information about the performance of the movement and its quality, the appropriateness, and/or outcome. This information can be used to proved input for making ongoing adjustments in performance or to modify the next skill attempt.
Force Arm
The distance from the fulcrum to the point of application of force
Anthropometry
Concerned with measurement of the human body.
Telemetry
Involves the wireless recording of varous aspects of movement.
Exercise Physiology
The study of the effects of exercise on the body.
Motor Behavior
Concerned with the learning or aquisition of skills across the lifespan and encompasses three areas.
Dick Frosbury
High-Jumper, won the Gold Medal at the Olympics Games in Mexico. Created a new kind of jumping used to approach to the bar.
2nd-class lever
The weight is between the fulcrum and the force.
Locomotor Skills
Body moves through space and include runing, jumping, and sliding.
Angular Velocity
Angle that is rotated in a given unit of time.
Timing devices
To record speeds of body movements
Acceleration
Change of velocity
Electrogoniometry
Technique that can be used to provide information about the angles of join as part of total motion pattern.
Associative
The basics of the skill have been learned and the learner concentrates on refining the skill.
Newton's Third Law
The law of action and reaction states that for evry action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Stroboscopy
An older photographics technique that can still be used today to study human movement.
Power
Amount of work accomplished in one unit of time
Velocity
Change in the speed and/or direction of a body per unit of time.
Pressure
Ratio of force to the area over which the force applied
1st-class lever
The fulcrum is located between the weight and point of application of force.
Force
Any action that changes or tends to change the motion of an object. Forces are describes in terms of magnitude and direction.
Motor Control
The study of the neurophysiology and behavioral processes affecting the control of skilled movements.
Borelli
The father of biomechanics
Stimulations
Requries the use of mathematical formulas to develop models of a specific movement.
Reinforcement
Using events, actions, and behaviors to inrease the likelihood of a certain response.
Work
Force that is applied to a body through a distance and in the direction of the force
Angular Acceleration
Change in angular velocity for a givin unit of time.
Friction
Force that occurs when surfaces come in contact with each other
Center of gravity
Point at which all of an object's mass is balances at a specific moment.
Physiological Readiness
The development of the necessary strength, flexibility, and endurance, as well as development of the various organ systems, to such a degree that children can control their bodies in physical activites.
Input
The process of obtaining information from the environment . (Senses)
Torque
Twisting, turning, or rotary force apploed to the productin of angular acceleration
Fulcrum
The center or axis of roation
Dynamics
The study of mechanical factors that relate to systems in motion.
Energy
Capacity of a body to perform work
