The Description of Human Motion
Chapter ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this chapter, the student should be able to:
| Name the kinds of motion experienced by the human body, and describe the factors that cause and modify motion. |
| | | | Name and properly use the terms that describe linear and rotary motion: position, displacement, distance, speed, velocity, and acceleration. |
| | | | Explain the interrelationships that exist among displacement, velocity, and acceleration, and use the knowledge of these interrelationships to describe and analyze human motion. |
| | | | Describe the behavior of projectiles, and explain how angle, speed, and height of projection affect that behavior. |
| | | | Describe the relationship between linear and rotary movement, and explain the significance of this relationship to human motion. |
| | | | Identify the critical kinematic components that would be used to fully describe the skillful performance of a selected motor task. |
