Functional anatomy lecture (EXAM 1)

Define kinesiology

the study of human movement

Study of the acute adjustments and chronic
adaptations of the body in response to
exercise and physical activity (or lack of).

What is clinical exercise physiology? Give three examples of what a clinical program may consist of.

Clinical exercise physiology is the Supervised exercise programs for patients:

Examples

Define Motor skill

is a task (activity, action) that has
a specific purpose or goal to achieve. And
requires voluntary head, body and limb
movements.

What are the two ways to think about motor skills?

1. Level of performance

2. By the task or action

There are TWO ways to classify motor skills for Level of Performance (Performance Proficiency Perspective)

1. Highly skilled

2. Not Highly skilled

There are FOUR ways to classify motor skills by task or action (task perspective) to help organize research findings and make application somewhat more straightforward. What are they?

1. Precision of Movement

2. Distinctiveness of Beginning and
   End-Points (on-going stream?)

3. Stability of the Environment

4. Relative importance of motor and cognitive components

Describe the Precision of Movement

Based on the amount of muscular involvement needed to
complete/execute a task.

What are the 2 categories under precision of movement?

1. Gross motor skills

2. Fine motor skills

(Define) Gross Motor Skills

Use large musculature (mus-Q-luh-cher)

Musculature means large muscle groups or muscular systems such as the Gluteus Maximus or Quadriceps (QUADS)

EX:

running, jumping, throwing, swimming, walking, climbing, dancing

(Define) Fine Motor Skills

requires greater control over small muscle

EX:

Writing, typing, drawing, buttoning a shirt, zipping a jacket, cutting with scissors

What is the difference between Gross and Fine motor skills?

Gross motor skills use large musculature and Fine motor skills requires greater control over small muscles

What are the 3 categories of Distinctiveness of Beginning and
End-Points (on-going stream?)

1. Discrete skills

2. Serial skills

3. Continuous skills

(define) Discrete skills

have a distinct beginning and ending- ,which involves a single
execution to complete the task

Ex: hitting a baseball, throwing a dart, kicking a ball

(define) Serial skills

have discrete actions linked together- require various steps or a series of movements in a sequence to complete the task.

Ex: playing the piano (because each note is a discrete action, but they must be performed in a specific sequence to play the entire song)

Gymnastics routine: perform a series of discrete skills like flips and twists in a particular order to complete the routine.

(define) Continuous skills

have no distinct beginning or end (arbitrary) - one which requires
repetition of movement patterns.

ex:

Running: the motion is continuous; no distinct start or finish (repetitive)

Swimming: Stroke when swimming is repetitive and continuous without a defined end unless the swimmer stops

What are the differences between the discrete, serial, and continuous skills?

Discrete: have a distinct beginning and ending- one which involves a single execution to complete the task

Serial: have discrete actions linked together- require various steps or a series of movements in a sequence to complete the task.

Continuous: have no distinct beginning or end (arbitrary) - one which requires repetition of movement patterns.

What are the 2 categories of stability of the environment

extra information-
Defined by the stability of the environmental context involved in the performance
situation.
1. Objects involved
2. Supporting surface
3. Other people

1. Closed skills

2. Open skills

(define) Closed skills

skills where the performance can be planned in advanced without fear of environmental changes, or can be made to fit the environment predicted in advance. Performer usually
initiates (self-paced)

-There are no outside or external variables such as people, objects, or changing conditions that make the environment unpredictable

ex:

Bowling: the environment (lane, pins, and ball) is consistent and predictable, and allowing the player to perform the same movement each time with no external obstacles

Archery: Has control over the environment (distance to target, stance, etc.) and can perform the skill in a consistent way without external obstacles

(define) Open skills

require the performer to adjust to or regulate an environment that is unpredictable. Movements are timed to external features of the environment (externally-paced)

-Performed in unpredictable environments where the performer must react to external variables such as people, objects, or changing conditions. That may require constant adjustment to the environment.

ex:

Soccer: Must adjust movements in response to the ball’s movement, other players, and changing game conditions

Basketball: Player must react to movements of other players, the ball, and the overall game flow

What are the differences between Closed and Open skills?

Closed skills: skills where the performance can be planned in advanced without fear of environmental changes, or can be made to fit the environment predicted in advance. Performer usually
initiates (self-paced)

while Open skills is…..

require the performer to adjust to or regulate an environment that is unpredictable. Movements are timed to external features of the environment (externally-paced)

Which skill requires more perception and decision-making? Open or Closed skills?

Open skills

What are the 2 categories of Relative importance of motor and cognitive components?

1. Motor skills

2. Cognitive skills

(define) Motor skills

did not have a definition on the slides so wing it!

Any physical movements and coordination of the body’s muscles.

Ex:

writing, typing, running, and jumping

(define) Cognitive skills

did not have a definition on the slides so wing it!

Involve mental processes like thinking, reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and decision-making these skills are needed to process information and problem-solving.

Ex: memory, attention, language, decision-making

What is the meaning of self-paced and externally-paced?

Self-paced: The performer has full control over when to start and how fast to execute the skill. The timing and movement are determined by the individual, and external factors do not dictate the pace.

ex: kicking a ball in soccer, throwing a dart, and golf swing

Externally-paced: Timing and rhythm of the movement are not controlled by the individual, rather they’re controlled by the external factors or forces, such as other people, objects, or environmental conditions. The performer must react to these external stimuli and cannot control when or how fast the skill occurs

ex: Tennis serve (the opponent must respond to the other opponents serve), catching a thrown ball (individual must adjust their movement in response to the speed/direction of the ball), and racing in athletics (individual has to react to the start signal and keep their pace with the race conditions)

Why is information processing particularly important for open skills?

Because it helps individuals perceive, evaluate, and respond to external stimuli enabling them to make quick decisions, anticipate changes, adapt to unexpected situations, and adjust their actions in real-time.

How do we determine whether a person is skilled or unskilled at a particular task (think Performance Proficiency Perspective)?

These features distinguish higher-skilled performers from lower-skilled ones in 3 components. What are the 3 components?

1. Maximum certainty of goal achievement
2. Minimum energy expenditure
3. Minimum movement time
