Chapter 1 Fundamental Concepts

Characteristics of Motor development:
 Change in movement behaviour
 Sequential
 Age –related
 Continuous
 Underlying process(es)

Motor learning: Relatively permanent gains in motor skill capability associated
with practice or experience
Motor control: The neural, physical and behavioural aspects of movements
Physical growth: Quantitative increase in size or body mass.
Physiological maturation: Qualitative advance in biological makeup and may refer
to cell, organ or system advancement in biochemical composition rather than to
size alone.
Aging: The process occurring with the passage of time, that leads to loss of
adaptability or full function and eventually to death.

Constraints: A constraint is a characteristic of the individual, environment or task
that encourages some movements while discouraging others.
There are three types of constraints:
1. Individual constraints; are a person’s or organism’s unique physical and
mental characteristics.
 Exists within the body
Structural constraints; Are individual constraints related to the body’s
structure.
 Related to the body’s structure  weight, height. Muscle mass.
Functional constraints; are individual constraints related to behavioural
function.
 Attention and motivation
2. Environmental constraints; are constraints related to the world around
us.
 Exists outside the body
 Global, not task specific
 Physical: gravity/ surfaces
 Socio-cultural: Gender roles
3. Task constraints; Include the goals of a particular movement or activity,
the rule structure surrounding that movement or activity, and choices of
equipment.
 External to the body
 Related specifically to tasks or skills
 Goal of task
 Rules guiding task performance
 Equipment.
Newell’s model of constraints
