Summary From 8-24-2009
Antatomical Kinesiology: Today we finished discussing different types of bones and their function. Most bones are named for their shape and indicate their function. For example, flat bones, such as the bones of the cranium, are designed for protection. We also discussed the six different types of loading and examples of fractures caused by these different types of loading. Three point bending is my favorite type of loading, this occurs when the bone is subjected to three forces, creating tension on one side of the bone and compression on the opposite side. The classic example of three point bending is the boot top fracture. We will have a quiz on Wednesday on anatomical terminlogy as well as the skeletal system.
Motor Development: Today we finished up the first chapter on the introduction to Motor Development. While the fields of Motor Development, Motor Learning, and Motor Control are related, it is also important to understand and recognize the differences. We have also spent a lot of time discussing contstraints and how they work together to shape movement. Using Newell's model, we can identify the individual, environmental, and task constraints that all work together to influence how we move. Wednesday we will begin discussing the different theories of motor development.
