1) My client, Jacob, is a 22 year old senior in college, and desires to deadlift with proper form. His overall goal is to gain muscle mass on a semi-ectomorph body frame. His knowledge and experience with the deadlift movement is nominal. He wants to increase the weight he lifts, but under an initial consultation, I noticed that his initial movement, breaking the weight from the floor, was inadequate to improve his performance goal. Jacob admitted his novice status in the use of free weights for mass building, and submitted to begin learning as if he were unaware of any knowledge of the movement. Gross motor skills showing need for improvement were scapular retraction and load preparation in the lower body in order to break the bar from the surface. Based on Gentile's 2D Classification, Adams (1999) describes a closed skill as self-paced, unchanging, and stable environment in which the learner is trying to learn consistent movement patterns. This plan will be designed with a closed environmental context, with an action function of a quasi-mobile body with object manipulation due to the motor learning detected. In the Fitts-Posner Cognitive Stages of Learning, Jacob is in the cognitive stage, as he lacks the experience to achieve the break with proper form. Zwicker and Harris (2009) explained that during the first stage, the cognitive stage, an individual may have a general idea of the movement required for a task but might not be sure how to execute that movement. The complete execution of the exercise requires the lifter to grasp a barbell at mid–shank level in a squat position and elevate the load by extending the lower back, hip, knee, and ankle joints (Swinton, Stewart, Agouris, Keogh, & Lloyd, 2011). To pinpoint this ...

    Ready, set, move is exactly what kinesthetic arts is all about. Kinesthetic art is a form of art that is set into motion by an external stimulus such as wind, light or by a mechanism. The importance of physically moving does not only get our blood flow pumping to the skeletal muscles it also increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain. When increased oxygen and blood flow reaches our brain it increases the ability to think with more clarity. "In 2003, Sibley and Etnier demonstrated that, for four-eighteen-year-olds, exercise positively impacts perception skills, IQ, achievement, verbal and math scores, development and academic readiness." (Walker, 2011). Ready, set, move!

    If motion capture is able to help produce the most accurate and powerful shot, after analyzing and collecting data from multiple lacrosse athletes, it could potentially improve the game. Some athletes could attend a sports program to produce the “perfect” shot. They would be taught how to exactly position their arm muscles, torso and joints to follow through with the swing of the stick creating the best motion of the ball. This study could potentially be a huge advancement in the game of lacrosse, furthering the popularity of the game. It could help advance the overall background of neuromechanics to the game. Furthering the research on motor control and biomechanics in the game of lacrosse.

  • Motor Development Case Study

    1044 Words  | 3 Pages

    Motor development is directly associated to the advancement of our capabilities for voluntary physical movement. However, these changes take affect through the duration of our life, the most significant changes for humans occur between birth and 2 years of age. Motor skills is defined as “the learned ability to move some part of the body, from a large leap to a flicker of the eyelid” (Berger 2008). When a baby is born, they immediately are able to move their legs, grab things with their fingers and show facial expressions. This is due to the automatic movements that we refer to as reflexes. These reflexes includes the ability to maintain oxygen supply, maintain a constant body temperature and the ability to manage feeding, which are all essential for survival (Berger 2008). Usually at about 5 months, babies start to develop what 's called gross motor skills. According to Dorothy Einon “gross motor skills are larger movements a baby makes with his arms, legs, feet, or his entire body.

  • Cognitive Stage Of Throwing A Frisbee

    1056 Words  | 3 Pages

    It is my goal to teach my client how to throw a Frisbee backhanded because she wants to join SCORCH, the University of South Carolina’s Women’s Club Ultimate team. My client is a 22 year-old female who is 5 feet, 8 inches and weighs approximately 130 pounds. She is in good physical condition, but has never played the game of Ultimate or thrown a Frisbee before. Sam, the client, has no learning-disabilities or physical-disabilities. She is right-handed and is a self-proclaimed visual learner. As she has had no prior experience with Ultimate, she is classified in the cognitive stage of Fitts and Posner’s Learning Stage Theory. This stage means that Sam will make many gross errors in her movements and will be unable to self-correct her body errors and movements.

  • How Does Play Affect Child Development

    609 Words  | 2 Pages

    accepted that children acquire and develop motor skills, both gross and fine, in a somewhat predictable sequence during growth. Unstructured and structured play may both offer opportunities for children to get to know their bodies and repeat essential movement patterns. The exploration and practice of those emerging skills are critical to attaining the next level of movement or motor abilities. This is probably most evident as regards locomotor skills, which are altered and advanced through a person’s life. The sequence of creeping and crawling all the way to galloping and running is dependent upon consistent and unfettered movement

  • Motor Behavior Essay

    1157 Words  | 3 Pages

    New skills are learned regularly throughout the human lifetime and are enhanced over time with repetition. Starting with childhood, one learns basic skills such as crawling and walking. As a person ages and reaches young adulthood, they begin to build on those basic skills and combine them with others to learn new skills including running and playing sports. However, as one ages and reaches late adulthood, some skills may also begin to deteriorate. With age, the body begins to degenerate causing difficulty performing tasks which were once not very difficult. Tasks such as running become increasingly challenging. Without the routine practice of the skill, the body begins to forget how to perform these tasks, resulting in the decline of motor

  • Fine Motor Development Essay

    849 Words  | 2 Pages

    Mastering fine motor skills is a very important process needed for physical and cognitive development. It is during early childhood that most children develop these skills, however there are many children that do not. A young child’s fine motor skills are developed through a vast array of activities that aide the child in doing little things such as grasping a toy as an infant, and buttoning buttons as a toddler or tying shoes when they are a preschooler. Fine motor development is the development of the small muscles in the hands and fingers. Many crucial daily activities depend on strong motor skills, such as writing, using eating utensils and getting dressed, among other things. Without fine motor skills a child will have difficulties preforming

  • Physical and Motor Development

    1405 Words  | 3 Pages

    Physical and motor development are two similar but different areas that describe child development. Physical development encompasses all of the various changes a child's body goes through. Those changes include height, weight, and brain development. Motor development is the development of control over the body. This control would involve developing reflexes such as blinking, large motor skills like walking, and fine motor skills like manipulating their fingers to pick up small objects like Cheerios. It is important to objectively study physical and motor development in children to gain knowledge on what characteristics are considered typical for each age and stage of development. This will enable me to be aware of when a child or children are developing at an irregular pace, and devise recommendations or find experiences and other resources that can aid in stimulating their development and to work towards closing achievement gaps. This particular assignment was to observe the selected child and reaffirm the importance of studying physical and motor development, and to develop ideas on how to involve it in my work as an early childhood professional.

They encouraged the students to explore throughout their unique bodily movements getting them to develop skills on their own. They also focused on the teacher’s role, which was to provide an environment that supported this focus. The teachers will test the students in ways that trigger all types of physical responses and these were done individually, in groups or with partners.

    Throughout this motor learning and motor control course I have learned so much. I can honestly say that with everything I have learned I will be able to put to use in my life and coaching career. A lot of what I learned was terms that dealt with the body and how it moves like motor learning, control, development, learning, skills, abilities, error, retention, and so much more. Motor learning involves the study of the acquisition of motor skills and motor control is the study of how the neuromuscular system function to enable coordinated movement. This class will benefit me in my coaching career because it is going to help me to become a better coach, teacher and help me to better my athletes. I can now further understand the human body and
