The systematic observation and introspective judgement of the quality of human movement to provide the most appropriate intervention to improve performance; non numerical assessment of movement.
|
Qualitative Movement Analysis
|
Kinesiology subdisciplines that are utilized during qualitative movement analysis.
|
Biomechanics (applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance in order to gain a greater understanding of performance)Motor learning (a change resulting from practice or novel experience; a relatively permanent process)Motor development (changes in children's ability to control their body's movements)Exercise physiology (the identification of physiological mechanisms underlying physical activity)Exercise psychology (involve the scientific study of the psychological factors associated with sport)Pedagogy (deals with the theory and practice of education)
|
What are the four tasks of qualitative movement analysis?
|
Preparation, observation, evaluation & diagnosis, and intervention
|
What is the difference between qualitative and quantitative movement?
|
Qualitative feedback is based on the comparisons and descriptions of characteristics of movement in a non numerical manner. Quantitative feedback is based on numbers and can be used to develop detailed statistical data.
|
The organization and interpretation of stimuli from our environment, mediated by our senses.
|
Perception
|
What are the four major senses involved in qualitative movement analysis?
|
Vision, audition, touch, and kinesthetic proprioception
|
What are the processes in information processing?
|
Stimulus input --> stimulus identification --> response selection --> action (movement)
|
The continuous process of building a prerequisite knowledge base.
|
Preparation
|
What are the three major areas of prerequisite knowledge?
|
Knowledge of activity, knowledge of the performer, knowledge of effective instruction (pedagogy)
|
The skills, strategies, and physical requirements of sport or movement pattern; how rules and situational strategy can change the goal of a movement.
|
Knowledge of activity
|
What are the three main sources of prerequisite knowledge?
|
Experience, expert opinion, and scientific research
|
A broad category of movement for a general purpose, such as running, throwing, or kicking.
|
Fundamental movement pattern
|
An adapted fundamental movement pattern for a specific activity or goal, examples are football passing, punting, and field goal kicking.
|
Motor skill
|
A skill with a more specific purpose, such as a banana or bend kick in soccer.
|
Technique
|
Personal differences or idiosyncrasies, such as pitching wind up or basketball shooting form.
|
Style
