Cards

Term
Biomechanics
Definition
examines the internal and external forces acting on the human body and the effects produced by these forces.
Term
Quantitative analysis
Definition
involves measurment of variables that are thought to optimize and maximize performance (deals with numbers)
Term
Qualitative analysis
Definition
Involves obtaining information visually or auditorilly to assess performence
Term
Kinematics
Definition
The study of time space factors of a body in motion
Term
Ergonomics
Definition
Sometimes called human factors engineering/biotechnology find the relationship between humans and machines to make us as efficient as possible
Term
Acceleration
Definition
rate of change of velocity a=v/t
Term
Displacement
Definition
Length and direction of the path an athlete takes from start to finish
Term
Velocity
Definition
displacement per unit time v=d/t
Term
Angular velocity
Definition
angular displacement per unit of time
Term
First class lever
Definition

Applied force and resistance are located on opposite sides

ex (touching chin to neck. spine=fulcrum, chin=applied force, neck muscles=resistance)

[image]

                                           

 

Term
Second Class Lever
Definition

The applied force and the resistance are on the same side of the axis

(plantar flextion)

[image]

Term
Third Class lever
Definition

When the applied force and the resistance are on the same side of the axis but the applied force is closer to the axis

 [image]

Term
Scalar Vs. Vector
Definition

Scalar: just the magnitude (number)

Vectore: magnitude + direction 

Term
Linear Motion Vs. Angular Motion
Definition

Linear: Requires a force which all parts of the body move in the same direction at the same time,caused by forces which act through a bodies center of mass


Angular: The body moves along a circular path through the same direction at the same time, Caused by forces that do not act through the bodies center of mass.

Term
Methods of increasing stability
Definition

Static equilibrium: increase base of support, imcrease intertia of the body, decrease vertical distance between center of mass and base of support

Dynamic equilibrium: Enlarge body base of support in direction of external horizontal forces, adopt a starting position in which the center of pressure is close to the edge of the base of support wherever a quick acceleration is important

Term
Newtons laws of motion
Definition

Inertia: an object will not change its state of motion unless acted upon by a net external force

2) acceleration f=ma

3) action/reaction fnet=0

Term
Projectiles
Definition
ASK ABOUT HOW TO MAXIMIZE HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL RANGE
Term
Chronological vs. Skeletal vs. Develpmental
Definition

Chronological: age measured in days,months,years

skeletal: age by bone date

developmental: age is expressed by ability to preform tasks

Term
Cephalocaudal vs. Proximal-distal development
Definition

Cephalocaudal: "head to tail", posture lift head-->lift chest/stomach

Proximal distal: learning to move (roll over--> crawl)

Term
Somatotypes
Definition

Endomorphs: more fatty tissure, thick body parts

mesomorph: mature early, stocky/heavily muscled/broader bodies

Ectomorph: late to reach maturity, thinner body, narrow hips,longer arms/legs

Term
Piagets 4 stages of cognitive development
Definition

Sensorimotor

-demonstrates intelligence by means of motor activity w/o symbols

-knowledge based purly off immediate experience

-ability to use memory to recall objects

Pre-operational

-intellegince through use of symbols

-considerable language development

-significant growth in memory+imagination

Concrete operational

-logical thinking

-empathy develops

-solve problems ligically

-use emmory to recall objects/events

Formal operational

-solve increasingly complicated problems w/ logiv

-return to egocentric thinking

-think about societal issues+own identity and appearance

Term
Stages of learning
Definition

Cognitive: come to basic understanding of a task; learner commits large errers and needs specific instruction on how to improve

Associative stage: learner begins to refin/develop awareness of mistakes + effort becomes more consistent

Autonomous stage: skill becomes automatic, not much time spent thinking about fundementals, aware of mistakes and how to correct them

Term
Factors affecting physical growth/development
Definition

Glandular/Hormonal activity

-hormones affect metabolism

-glands can suffer from disease

Heredity

-difficult to predict many areas of genetically inherited growth

nutrition/diet

-inadequet/unbalanced diet can lead to physical development issues

physical activity

-Lack of activity harmful, excessive also bad

-balance is key

sociocultural factors

-can be difficult to assess

-depends on opprotunity/values

Term
Motor Learning
Definition
Process by which a person develops, through a combination of physical and psychological factors. the ability to preform a task.
Term
Factors affecting movement intelligence
Definition

Be able to expound

-Inherited ability

-stimulus at an early age

-practice

-feedback

-Expert instruction

-et...

Term
Knowledge od results
Definition

Internal: you can tell if you hit a ball or missed a basket -outome

External: coach telling you what was right/wrong

 

Term
Knowledge of performance
Definition

Internal: you know that as soon as you release, a shot will  or wont go in

External: You don't understand why your preformance is wrong so you ask for correction from coach

Term

Feedback

 

Definition

Summary

-generates movement consistency

-avoids overlearning learner

ex) newplayer give feedback every 3 shots, pro every 10

Bandwidth:

-eventually faded feedback occurs

-lack of feedback=positive reinforcement

-movement consistency develops, learner not encouraged to change movement each trial

Faded:

-teacher can tailor feedback to respect individual differences

Term
Open Vs. Closed skill
Definition

Open: preformed in an unpredictable environment, requores participants to adopt their movements to changing nature of environment,environmental conditions are in motion

Closed: Predictable environment, permits participants to plan movement in advnace, environmental conditions are stationary

Term

Arousal vs. anxiety

 

Definition

Arousal: Being "psyched up" athlete feels ready physically

Anxiety: general sense of uncertanty, muscular tenstion "butterflies"

Term
Imagery
Definition
tools used to assist oneself succeed
Term
Stress reduction strategies
Definition

Meditation:

Imagery:"seing is believing" if athlete see's themself in successful situation, they will be sucessful.Recall past experiences of triumphs. script their own story

Hypnosis: state of intense concentration. body blocks out all external unnecessary stimuli. willingness of an athlete to respond to suggestions. 3 stages: induction(relaxation), hypnotic(capable of carrying out suggestion) and wake phase(suggestion given). 

Mescle relaxation:

Self talk:"getting psyched up" sometimes self talk is negative, "competition is more talented that me". psychologists ceate scripts to potray positive self talk

Term
The sports ethic, How could it lead to cheating?
Definition

1)Athlete makes sacrifices for the game

2) Strive for distinction

3) accepts risks and plays through pain

4)an athlete accepts no limit in the pursuit of possibilities

ex) karrie strug

cheating: need for distinction, equipment tampering, ineligable equipment, drugs. 

Term
Causes of aggression in sport
Definition

-Parents/coaches: demonstrating interest through televised sporting events

Outcome of event: agression occurs after losing, low league standing teams demonstrate more ag 

Point spread: large point gap causes ag. nothing to lose winning out of reach

-Physical contact:result in more aggression, if player believes another is trying to cause harm, agression increses.

Fan Reaction: aggression occurs when team plays away from home, linked to fan reaction(unfriendly crown angers team)

-increased opprotunities

Term
Hold backs of women in sport
Definition

1)society: gender roles of men and women

2) school: segregated class + activities(sewing class) and the athletic program (girls less teams, poor coaches)
