Motor Learning
This is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior brought about by experience.
What is learning (or motor learning)?
This initial phase of learning is characterized by the learner trying to understand instructions and simplify directions.
What is the cognitive phase?
This pedagogical approach is teacher-centered and moves learners through linear cognitive stages.
What is linear pedagogy?
This unit represents the energy expenditure or oxygen consumption of an individual at rest.
What is a MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task)?
This is the leading cause of death globally as of 2019, responsible for nearly 9 million deaths.
What is coronary heart disease?
Unlike learning, this is a temporary occurrence that fluctuates over time.
What is performance?
This is the time it takes for the body to begin responding to a stimulus.
What is reaction time?
These very fast movements cannot be changed once they start and are not affected by feedback.
What is open-loop control?
This graph shows that the risk of upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) is lowest with regular moderate training.
What is the J-curve?
This lifestyle disease occurs when cells stop responding to insulin despite it being present.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
This type of skill involves a combination of movement and sensory interpretation, such as out-dribbling a defender.
What is a perceptual-motor skill?
Response time is calculated by adding these two components together.
What are reaction time and movement time?
This theory, aimed at combining open and closed-loop control, uses "Recall" and "Recognition" schemas.
What is Schema Theory?
This model describes the period after overreaching where an athlete is most susceptible to infection.
What is the "Open Window" model?
This hormone is responsible for stimulating hunger, while leptin suppresses it.
What is ghrelin?
While skills are acquired through practice, these are innate traits that give us the capacity to perform skills.
What are abilities?
In the Welford model, this is the limit of bits of information that the Short-Term Memory (STM) can hold.
What is 7 ± 2 bits?
This type of pedagogy encourages exploratory learning and individualized movement solutions.
What is non-linear pedagogy?
These three hormones signal white blood cells to move to parts of the body where pathogens might enter during stress.
What are norepinephrine, epinephrine, and cortisol?
Bone mineral density (BMD), the main determinant of bone strength, typically peaks during these years.
What is 25–45 years?
In the Information Processing Model, this "black box" stage is where the Central Nervous System (CNS) acts on sensory input.
What is the Central Nervous System (or the process between input and output)?
This period occurs when a second stimulus is processed slower because the first is still being handled.
What is the Psychological Refractory Period (PRP)?
These are "opportunities for action" provided by the environment that can cause a change in behavior.
What are affordances?
This index relates height to weight but can be misleading for athletes with high muscle mass.
What is BMI (Body Mass Index)?
This condition, characterized by a severe loss of bone mass, can be mitigated by weight-bearing exercise.
What is osteoporosis?
