Document Summary
Newell"s model: structural, functional, environmental, and task constraints. Developmental changes in movement occur according to biomechanical principles (all of our movements are constrained by the environment we live in) Motion and stability are the two principles within larger field of biomechanics. Motion and stability are known as the physics of movement. Based on optimizing biomechanical principles of motion and stability over time. Can be see across variety of motor skills (we all meet the same guidelines b/c of the way we are structured, i. e. , two arms and two legs) Importantly, not only do children need to learn how to function within the laws, they have to navigate them with frequently changing bodies (think rate limiters they force kids to constantly keep up with their changing bodies) This however, needs to be considered in relation to age and/or experience: e. g. , basketball throw for child vs. adult.
