HKIN 215 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Escalator, Fine Motor Skill, Slapshot
Document Summary
Concept: classifying skills into general categories helps us to understand the demands those skills place on the performer/learner. Describe the goals of the three sub-disciplines of motor behavior. Being able to perform an activity and control that motor skill. Aims to understand how humans control their movements and how they learn movement skills. Refers to the field and to various activities that involve movement. Motor performance: an observable execution of a motor skill; refers to what we can see and measure. Three sub-disciplines in the field of motor behaviour. What constrains the mechanisms of the neuromuscular system that carry. How is the control of movements explained by professionals interested in. Interaction between the brain and cns with the muscles of our body. Mechanical factors: muscle forces and limb velocities ex: when you walk on ice, you reduce the degrees of freedom of your limbs. 1. a. out movements? b. c. motor control? d. e. f. in order to keep balanced.
