What is the main focus of Movement Competency Training (MCT)?
Developing specific sport skills
Enhancing competitive performance
Developing an individual's fundamental ability to move efficiently, effectively, and safely across a wide range of physical activities.
Increasing muscle mass
What does Movement Education emphasize, rather than just the acquisition of specific sport skills?
Competitive outcomes
The development of movement competency and understanding
Strict drills
External rewards
Movement Education is 'Process-Oriented,' meaning it emphasizes:
Solely the end result or product
How a child moves and learns
Scoring a goal
Winning competitions
Holistic Development in Movement Education recognizes that movement is linked to:
Only physical growth
Cognitive, social, and emotional growth
Economic success
Technological advancement
What is the aim of Movement Education by building a broad movement vocabulary and positive attitudes?
To create elite athletes
To equip individuals with the tools and desire to remain active throughout their lives.
To specialize in one sport
To discourage physical activity later in life
