Words like weight, high BMI, unhealthy weight were acceptable, whereas, chubby, fat, and obese were not. On a scale of motivation, most of the words were at a similar level.Lecture 3Motor Behavior. Three sub disciplines Control, Learning, and Development. Motor Control: understanding how the brain communicates to control one’s body. It deals with neural, physical, and behavioral aspects of movement. Every movement can be a topic of motor control. The most common is a reaching and grasping movement. It’s important to study this because professionals can then better understand how to adapt this knowledge to create reaching and grasping robotics. Relatively permanent gains in motor skill capability associated with practice or experience.Motor Development: sequential, continuous age-related process whereby movement behavior changes. Example, if one plays tennis for 6 months, they will improve but that would be considered motor learning; whereas, player over 6 year would be considered motor development. Initial training under one condition can be studied versus initial training under another condition. These studies can help understand how movement information is transferred between hemispheres, or across different effectors. Dominant and non-dominant hemisphere/limb systems are specialized for controlling different movement features.Lecture 4Physical Therapy Job Description: Assist those to help them want to improve. Being a teacher to patients to guide them to their goals. Always ask questions based on different patients, the therapist themselves, and the science of Physical Therapy. Give the patient contexts and be creative. Improve the human experience to benefit all subjects. Types of doctors: Medical, pharmacy, podiatry, chiropractic, dentistry, veterinarian, and optometrist.Lecture 5 The goals of sport and exercise psychology is to understand the social-psychological factors that influence people’s behavior and performance in physical activity, to understand the psychological effects derived from participation in physical activity, and to enhance the sport and exercise experiences for those who participate in physical activity.Exercise psychology focuses on the psychological aspect of fitness, exercise, health, and wellness. Sport psychology focuses on the psychological aspect of competitive sport participation. Both have close tires with kinesiology AND psychology.Lecture 6It is the scientific study of the psychological factors that are associated with participation and performance in sport, exercise, and other types of physical activity. It is not just about how we behave but also how we think and feel. It is mix of behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. All work together interchangeably. Two main purposes: 1. Help individuals use psychological principles toachieve optimal mental health and to improve performance. 2. Understand how participation insport, exercise and physical activity affects an individual’s psychological development, health and well-being throughout the lifespan.Lecture 7Physical activity: a behavior; any bodily movement produces by the cpntraction of skeletal muscle that increases energy expenditure above a basal level. Categories include intensity, mode, and purpose. Health related physical fitness components: Cardiorespiratory endurance, body composition, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility. Skill related fitness: the ability to perform specific skilled require to take part in various activities and sports. Including agility, balance, coordination, speed, power, etc. Types of fitness: Aerobic activity: “with oxygen” requires additional steady supply of oxygen in the muscle to perform the activity like running, biking, rollerblading, walking, etc. Anaerobic activity: “without oxygen” doesn’t require additional oxygen to be taken in by the muscle to move the body like sprinting, lifting weights, etc. Exercise Metabolism: compared to rest, exercise greatly increases bodily demands.Lecture 8 Strength and conditioning coaching is applied performance-based coaching and training. “Strength coaches design weight training programs and cardiovascular conditioning programs based on the demands inherent to specific sports and the specific needs of individual
