Document Summary
Processes that lead to skilled motor behaviour and factors that influence these processes from a genetic perspective. Modification of the processes that lead to skilled motor behaviour directly attributed to practice and experience. Study of sequential, age related change in motor behaviour across lifespan. 2: early childhood, adolescence, complex motor skills during adulthood, declining ability to perform motor skills with age. Conception until birth - emphasis on ] structures and movement. Development of motor skills (birth - 2 years) Including reflexes, basic control of body segment, locomotion, speech. Fundamental movement skills - running, jumping, climbing, hopping, throwing and catching. Gender differences (strength, speed, aerobic capacity, flexibility) Declining ability to perform motor skills with age. Decline in ability to perform motor skills with age. Decline in late adulthood when neural, skeletal, muscular, sensory and endocrine systems change. Children with low motor proficiency: fall behind in classroom, more likely to be rejected by peers and play by themselves.
