monitoring to maintain stable blood sugar levels
8 24. Fine motor skills fine motor skills: movements using small muscle
groups (writing, grasping, finger snapping, etc)
9 25. Flexibility flexibility:the ability of a joint to move in a range
of motion (usually the wider the range, the
better)
10 26. frequency frequency: in relation to exercise, how often an

exert force on an object
15 31. nonlocomotor movement nonlocomotor movement: movement that does
not result in location change (vending, twisting,
stretching etc.)
16 32. opposition opposition: when throwing a ball, the foot
opposite the throwing hand steps forward
17 33. overload overload: in relation to fitness, the concept that
the only way to progress is to increase the level
of difficulty
18 34. progression progression: in relation to fitness, the concept
that level of difficulty should be gradually
increased, beginning at a difficulty level
corresponding to the initial fitness level
19 35. specificity specificity: in relation to fitness, the concpet that
specific types of exercise are appropriate to
increase specific types of fitness (jogging for
cardiovascular fitness, crunches for abdominal
muscles)
20 36. time time: in relation to exercise, for how long an
exercise is performed in a single session
21 1. Accomodation Accomodation - the process by which a child
incorporates new experience into previous
understandings, and modifies those existing
concpets to include the new information.
22 2. Assimilation Assimilation- the process by which a child
interprets a new experience in terms of their
previous understandings.
