All individuals possess motor abilities
All people differ in amount of ability
Motor abilities cannot be measured or quantified
Motor abilities limit the individuals achievement potential

Balancing
Running
Throwing
Catching
Striking
They are all FMS
Fundamental Movement Skill

True

Children do not master FMS in any predetermined order
FMS can only be developed in childhood
Improved FMS can lead to higher self-esteem and self management
It is more difficult to 'unlearn' bad habits than to learn correctly to begin with
To decide whether or not the individual can play a particular sport
Determine which part of the skill is deficient
In order to intervene in a concise and organised manner
Easy to track improvements
Receives information from sensory receptors
Uni-polar: no dendrites and one axon
Cell body and most of the axon are in the peripheral nervous system
There are two types: alpha and gamma
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Temporal
Memory
Visual perception
Abstract thought
A) & b)
A) & c)
Primary Motor Cortex
Pre-Motor Area
Supplementary Motor Area
Parietal Lobe
A), c) and d)
All of the above
Prepares for the transitioning between movements
Sending axons to specific skeletal muscle
The organisation of movements before initiation
The execution of smooth and accurate movement
Fitt's
Size
Frequency
Magnitude
The larger the action potential, the larger the intensity
The longer the duration of the action potential the larger the intensity
The greater the speed of the action potential, the larger the intensity
The greater the frequency of the action potentials, the larger the intensity
How we perceive sensation
The process whereby we attach meaning to sensory information
The neural response triggered by a stimulus
Sensory nerve impulses that travel the sensory nerve pathways to the brain
Inability to perform movement tasks at an age appropriate level
Diagnosed in children who are bad at sport and always get picked last
The lack of proficiency in all motor skills
Develops when children suffer an injury and are unable to properly rehabilitate
Poor movement proficiency for age
Significant interference in daily life
Needs to be an association with a medical condition
If mental retardation is present, motor difficulties are greater than expected
Yes, as it follows each of the criteria
No, as a form of mental retardation is present
Poor fine motor skills (eg. handwriting)
Poor gross motor skills (eg. locomotion/object manipulation)
Poor body management (eg. balance and postural)
Inability to make decisions about motor skills (eg. game tactics)
Abnormal muscle tones (stiff, poor flexibility)
Speech Problems (eg. verbal dyspraxia, mispronunciation)
