Motor Behavior What is reaction time? Movement time? Response time? You should be able to identify the differences between skills and abilities, as well as classify skills with respect to the following terms: gross vs. fine; open vs. closed, and discrete, serial, and continuous. Fitts Law pertains to skills that require both speed and accuracy. What does Fitts law suggest about the relationship? What are the important variables that make up Fitts law? Vision is an important component to skill performance. You should be able to distinguish between Ventral and Dorsal stream vision as well as understand how each is used in performance. What are common methods for assessing attention demands? For example, the effect of texting on driving is typically researched with what type of procedure? What are performance variables? How do performance variables relate to learning curves? What are some examples of performance variables? Memory is important to motor behavior. Look up and know the differences between the three types of memory and how each is used in motor behavior. What are the stages of learning according to the Fitts and Posner three-stage-model? What are common characteristics of learners at each stage? What are the common performer and performance changes across the stages of learning? What is augmented feedback? Should it be positive (what the performer is doing right), error- correcting (what the performer is doing wrong) or both? What is the benefit, if any, of positive feedback? What is the benefit, if any, of error-correcting feedback? How is practice used to impact performance? What are strategies other than breaking the skill into parts (part practice) that can be used in the early stages of learning 1) to simplify skills and 2) to focus attention on specific parts of the skill that need work? In experiments that compare all-mental practice to all-physical practice and no practice conditions, how do research findings suggest that participants in the all-mental practice condition learn the skill in comparison to the other conditions? Fitness Assessment and Exercise Prescription The mechanisms behind VO2 and measurement of cardiorespiratory fitness, including a basic overview of cardiac output, where oxygen is consumed in the body and how it is transported, where it is utilized in the cell, and the techniques used to measure cardiorespiratory fitness. Common diseases and their mechanisms (diabetes, obesity, hypertension, etc). What considerations need to be addressed before/during exercise? What role does prescreening play in exercise prescription? How does the training principle of specificity apply to prescription of exercise? Be able to describe the various tests available to measure muscular fitness, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness. Know the basics of EKG and what it can be used for in a clinical exercise testing setting. Structural Kinesiology Be familiar with how structural features of a muscle influence its function. What muscle characteristics are important, and how are they related to function? Which bones make up the various joints of the body? (elbow joint, knee joint, shoulder joint, etc.) Which muscles contribute to the movement of the different joints? If provided with a joint movement, you should be able to select a muscle that is responsible. What do the terms “agonist”, “antagonist”, and “synergist” refer to in terms of muscles? What is the relationship between the mobility and stability of a joint? Recall the bones and muscles associated with each joint, as well as know any bones of significance covered in class (patella, scaphoid, etc). What are the functional features of the spinal column and its muscles? What are the different proprioceptors and what is each one responsible for? Be familiar with the different planes/axes of motion, including which planes/axes different joint movement occur in (i.e. scapular retraction occurs in the transverse plane) Know which muscles belong to particular muscle groups (i.e. hamstring group, quadriceps group, elbow flexor group), and which muscles certain groups are assembled from. fill out this study guide thoroughly
