KIN 3513 Lecture : Lecture 2 Measurement Of Motor Performance
Document Summary
The measurement of performance is essential for: *how to assess performance: determine which aspects of performance should be measured to make (a) valid performance assessment(s) Want to know how far to throw a ball, don"t measure how fast it is going: determine how to measure the identified aspects of performance. What will determine his/her progress during rehabilitation/deterioration and what should change to make this discovery. Performance production measures specific aspects of the motor skill you are measuring. *the two general categories of skill performance measures. Measures of the result of performing a skill. Measures related to specific performance characteristics that produced the performance outcome. Interval between the onset of a stimulus and the onset of the action the measure before the movement (time between the gun going off and you running) Reaction time and anticipation if you anticipate something, you can react faster. Movement time begins when the rt ends.
