- Factors that effect childhood growth and motor development- Nutrition, physical activity, Illness, and lifestyle
- zJdjs
Differentiation - the gradual progression from gross motor skills to refined and functional movements as the child matures
Integration- The coordinated interaction of opposing muscle and sensory systems
Later childhood development
-Vision is fully developed
-children have great imaginations but their self-consciousness often predominates
-Children are responsive to authority and are critically conscious of what is "fair"
Combative skill movements
stability-axial dodging( head movement/ slipping punches) - in the picture the man moves his head out of the right straights way.
Locomotor- stepping
Manipulative- striking
info encoding stage- utero to 4 months
info decoding stage- 4 months - one yr
reflex inhibition stage- birth- one yr
precontrol stage- one - two yrs
initial stage- two- three yrs
elementary stage- four to five yrs
mature stage- six-seven yrs
transition stage- seven - ten yrs
Application stage- ten to thirteen yrs
Lifelong utilization stage- Fourteen and up
Elementary development appears to depend on maturation of the three to five year old. Movement is still awkward, but they are much more controlled. Adults are at the elementary level with some movements like striking themselves, due to their inexperience.
Mature development- These movements are the basis for all sport skills. This is reached when a child can integrate all the component parts of a pattern into a well-coordinated, mechanical correct, and efficient act. Usually this is reached between ages five and seven. Some children aren't introduced to these movements, so they never learn them. It is much more difficult and frustrating to learn them as an adult, making good physical education extremely important.
Early childhood age
-Children are farsighted
-children learn the "how and why" of their actions through play.
- They're learning to distinguish right from wrong
Initial- Movements are very gross motor, and lack refinement. Much like the running child in the photo. Generally the age range is two and three years.
