Document Summary

Continuous change in motor behaviour throughout the life cycle brought about by interactions for the task, biology of the individual and environmental conditions. (gallahue & ozmun) Gallahue"s hourglass model - phases and stages of motor development.

Developed as a view for lifelong participation and engagement with movement and physical activity: locomotor skills beginnings. Chest & stomach on the floor commando style, tummy on floor (= crawl) Low creeping stomach raised, legs acting symmetrically (5 months) Creeping - legs & arms alternating patterns (9 15 months) Proficient walking double knee lock; reciprocal arm swing hanging by side . Improvements: balance, longer step length, longer single support, narrow gait (hence heel-toe walk tests) Roll off ball of foot (not flat foot)
