National Association for Sport and PE (NASPE)'s - Answers :Identifies quality PE as
both developmentally and instructionally appropriate for the actual children involved.
Developmentally + Instructionally Appropriate - Answers :Consider both physical and
cognitive development by enabling students to analyze, communicate, question,
integrate, apply concepts, and attain multicultural worldviews.
Also promotes affective development throughout the school year.
Physical Fitness - Answers :Defines the individual as being able to complete all of one's
daily living tasks without become overly tired and still having enjoyment for other
actives.
Effective fitness programs include: aerobic exercises, resistant training, and flexibility.
Body + Spacial Awareness - Answers :Pointing, touching, seeing different parts of the
body
Fit body into differently sized and shaped spaces
Spacial Concepts: up, down, right, left, forward, backwards, diagonal. (Levels: low,
medium, high)
Movement Concepts - Answers :Pathways + PLANES (vertical, horizontal, circle)
Energy (short term, high term)
Time (shorter, longer)
Speed (slow, medium, fast)
Force (soft, hard)
Torque - Answers :Rotational version of force. How much given force can make
something/someone rotate or turn.
Example. Skater with longer arms, rotates quicker.
Bio mechanical Summation - Answers :Summation of forces is to attain maximal force
with any movement that used multiple muscles in a manner that enables generating the
maximum force possible.
, Concept: Force-motion states that, when we produce or change movement, unbalanced
forces act upon our bodies or objects we manipulate.
