KINESIOL 3U03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Motor Skill, Exercise Intensity, Physical Fitness
Document Summary
Biological activity that spans the first two years of life, including before birth (prenatal) * 13cm difference on average between a boy"s height and a girl"s height at adolescent. Boys grow longer at a slower rate. Maturity is a state varies with the biological system considered: not all systems mature at the same rate can have different start and. Maturation is a process and occurs in all systems. Maturation finish times: skeletal maturation (best to determine maturity across lifespan, sexual maturation (stage 1, ranges from 1-14 years of age i. e. not helpful, somatic maturation, dental maturation. * girls start into their peak velocity curve two years before boys, boys grow at 5cm a year for two extra years. Need to practice and learn to improve future motor competence. Maturity can affect performance as well (as muscles mature they become: therefore, can perform better as we mature and grow systems will. Physical fitness: three basic components: role in fitness.
