Movement Skills
A combination of discrete motor skills.
What is a serial motor skill?
A push or pull, including applied, gravitational, and frictional.
What is force?
Constraints internal to the performer.
What are individual constraints?
Newton's First Law of Motion.
What is the law of intertia?
Body area just above the hips, & milieu of a trash collector.
What is waist/waste?
Categorised by size: throwing a dart.
What is a fine motor skill?
A biomechanical term for rotation.
What is angular motion?
Constraints including rules, equipment, required speed, and accuracy.
What are task constraints?
What is the law of acceleration?

What is bail/bale?
A category of fundamental movement skills like walking, running, dodging, etc.
What is a locomotor fundamental movement skill?
The biomechanical principle stating that the total momentum of a system before a collision equals the total momentum after a collision.
What is the conservation of momentum?
External to the individual—gravity, for example.
What are environmental constraints?
Newton's Third Law of Motion.
What is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction?
It describes something spoken or something you let happen.
What are manipulative motor skills?
When a force causes an object to rotate or turn.

An environment where it is best to train open motor skills.
What is an unpredictable environment?
The perpendicular distance from the axis of rotation to the end of the rotation arm.
What is the radius of rotation?
Behaviours: attention, anxiety, information processing skills, etc.
What are functional constraints?
