Document Summary
Initial research comparing rt and mt: henry and colleagues showed low correlations, a sprinter can have a fast rt and a slow mt, in all cases, rt and mt are in fact independent abilities. Recent research has investigated whether variations of a motor ability commonly seen as specific actually represents one ability. Two examples: balance (postural stability) as a motor ability, two types. Standing in one spot; sitting in one spot. Balance when you"re moving from point a to point b. Is balance one trait, or two? (static and dynamic) Children with cp showed balance problems while walking but not. Drowatzky and zuccato correlations among various tests of static and dynamic balance typically ranged from . 03 to . 26 (see table 3. 1: correlation is extremely low. What types of things can we do to test static balance: stand on one foot, close your eyes.
