Motor Development - Midterm Review

One of the things that define motor development is:

• Development involves sequential change.

• Development stops in your 20's.

• A continuous process of physiological change.

• The nervous system's control of muscles.

True or false: motor development is the continuous, age-related changes in someone's movement abilities.

• True

• False

The constraint most related to one's physical growth is:

• Structural

• Functional

• Task

• Social

Someone's functional constraint:

• Changes slowly over time

• Is related to the rules of the motor skill

• Changes quickly depending on the motor skill

• Is universal for each motor skill

An example of an environmental constraint is:

• Running shoes

• Perceived capability

• Social norm

• Height

The product of an object's mass and its acceleration is known as:

• An action

• A force

• Velocity

• A system of interest

The tendency of an object at rest to stay at rest is known as:

• Inertia

• Force absorption

• Stability

• Open Kinetic Chain

A child runs into a wall. The child's injuries are due to:

• The child's force upon the wall.

• The wall's force upon the child.

• The child's poor balance

• The wall's acceleration

A limb's rotational movement is converted into:

• An object's inertia

• An object's linear velocity

• An object's trajectory

• An object's interception

True or false: as someone's limb length increases, their rotational velocity decreases, meaning they can project an object further.

• True

• False
