Stages of Development

Initial

-developing fundamental skill. This is the stage of crude, uncoordinated movements, these movements are not rhythmically coordinated, the mature pattern is missing

Elementary

-transitional period between initial and mature, coordination and rhthmical performance improve, and children gain greater control over movements

Mature

-integration of all the component parts of a pattern of movement into a well coordinated, mechanically, correct and efficient act

Characterisitcs of Early and Later Development

• Early childhood characteristics
• Motor= children are farisighted, their eyes are not ready for extended periods of close work, active and entergetic, physiques of boys are girls are remarkably similar, gross motor control is developing rapidly
• Cognitive= children continuously investigate and discover new symbols that have a personal preference, learn "how" and "why" of their actions through active play
• Affective= egocentric so have difficulty sharing with others, fearful of new situations, learning right from wrong, period of nonconforming

• Later childhood characteristics
• Motor= girls are generally a year or more ahead of boys in physiological development, hand preference is firmly established, full of energy but low endurance, visual perceptual abilities are fully developed
• Cognitive= attention is very focused, they are eager to know "why?" limited in abstract thinking and learn best with concrete examples
• Affective= large group interactions, conscious of what is "fair," adventurous and eager to be involved with friends in "dangerous" activities

Sport Skills Of Softball

Stability movement= dynamic balance skills

Manipulative movement=throwing

Locomotor movement= running

Lifestyle

Nutrition

Factors that affect childhood growth and development

Physical activity

Illness

the coordinated interaction of opposing muscle and sensory systems, an example would be picking something up, first controling the arm, hand, and fingers, then connecting that to eye-hand coordination

Differentiation vs Integration

the gradual progression from the overall movement pattern of infants to the more refined and functional movements of children as they mature
