Praxis 5095 - Physical Education.
Content and Design
What disciplines combined create the foundation for physical education? - answer
Human Movement and Physical Fitness (motor and health-related); and is based on the
following disciplines: motor learning, motor development, kinesiology, biomechanics,
exercise physiology, sport psychology, sport sociology, and aesthetics.
What is kinesiology? - answer The study of human body movement and its mechanics
What is the relationship between kinesiology and biomechanics? - answer Kinesiology
and biomechanics work together to help determine what exercises a person should do,
how the workouts should be conducted and how effective the exercise is and if the
exercise is safe.
How does an understanding of kinesiology help a person to teach physical education? -
answerAn understanding of kinesiology can guide teachers in helping their students
decide what workout would be best for each student.
How do movement concepts impact students' ability to learn? - answerRecent finding
have linked movement to both cognitive skill and emotional health and well being.
Children who have higher self-esteem are much more likely to learn better and also
develop better social skills.
What is the overall importance of exercise physiology in relation to physical education? -
answerIt is what happens to the body as it exercises a single time, how these changes
are brought about, what changes in function occur after repeated bouts of exercise and
how these changes come to pass, and finally, what can be done to improve the body's
response to exercise and its adaptation to training.
How does the body react to exercise? - answerAn acute/short term change in the body
due to exercise
Ex.) HR goes up, sweating
What are the components of exercise physiology? - answerCardiovascular Endurance.
Muscular Strength.
Muscular endurance.
Flexibility.
Body Composition.
,How can an understanding of exercise physiology contribute to lifelong fitness? -
answerUnderstanding exercise physiology is understanding all of the benefits your body
gains from exercise, different methods of exercise, how to create an exercise plan, etc.
What are the different types of exercise a person can engage in? - answerAerobic,
anaerobic, isometric, isotonic, isokinetic
What are the body systems and how do they interact? -
answerCirculatory/Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Nervous, Digestive, Muscular, and
Skeletal. They all interact to help our body operate and survive.
What are the current trends in teaching physical education? - answerTeaching to
promote life-long fitness and health
What are the important theories in fitness and physical education? - answer
What are the different teaching methods physical education teachers can use? -
answerCommand, Practice, Reciprocal, Task, Guided Discovery, Problem Solving, and
Exploration
How are games and activities categorized? - answerInvasion Games, Target Games,
Net and Wall Games, Striking and Fielding Games, Chasing and Fleeing Games,
Fundamental Movement Skill Games, Cooperation Games, Health and Fitness Games
What is the basic idea of a given sport? - answerA competitive activity in which you are
competing against one or multiple participants and enhancing physical abilities
What are Bloom's Taxonomy Learning Domains and how do they affect the design of
instruction? - answerthe cognitive - focused on intellectual skills such as critical thinking,
problem solving, and creating a knowledge base
affective - focuses on the attitudes, values, interests, and appreciation of learners
psychomotor - encompasses the ability of learners to physically accomplish tasks and
perform movement and skills
anatomy and physiology - answerStructure or function of the body/ working system
exercise physiology - answerfocuses on the changes in function and structure caused
by exercise
biomechanics - answerA study that uses principals of physics to quantitatively study
how forces interact within a living body.
motor learning - answerRepeated practice of motor control processes, which lead to a
change in the ability to produce complex movements.
,motor development - answerThe development of action and coordination of ones limbs,
as well as the development of strength, posture control, balance and perceptual skills
agonist - answermuscles that causes motion
antagonist - answerA muscle that can move the joint opposite to the movement
produced by the agonist. EX biceps - triceps, back- chest, shoulders-chest and back,
quad-hamstring
isokinetic - answerpulling and holding weight. Resisting weight while lengthening
muscle. EX exercise bike
Isotonic - answerlifting constant amount of weight at different speeds through ROM
dynamic - answerThe contractions of a muscle resulting in movement. Concentric and
eccentric contraction are considered dynamic movements.
isometric - answerThe contraction of a muscle without significant movement, also
referred to as static tension EX leg extension no weight
Anatomical Position - answerForward facing and palms out
distal position - answerfarthest from body part referenced
proximal position - answerclosest to referenced body part. EX shoulder closer to neck
than fingers
superior position - answerbody part above another EX knees above toes
lateral position - answeraway from sagittal midline of body EX arms out laying down
medial - answerPOS toward sagittal midline of body EX arms resting
origin - answermuscle attachment that moves least, generally more proximal.
insertion - answermuscle attachment that moves most, generally more distal.
abduction - answerLateral movement away from the midline of the body. EX arms up
adduction - answerMedial movement toward the midline of the body. EX arms down
circumduction - answercircular movement (combining flexion, extension, adduction, and
abduction) with no shaft rotation
extension - answerstraightening of the joint to increase the angle
, eversion - answermoving sole of foot away from medial plane
flexion - answerthe bending of the joint to decrease the angle
hyperextension - answerthe extension of a joint past the anatomical position
inversion - answermoving sole of foot toward the medial plane
pronation - answerInternal rotation resulting in appendage facing downward
supination - answerExternal rotation resulting in appendage facing upward
rotation - answerRotary movement around the longitudinal axis of the bone
Newtons 1st Law - answerNewton object stays at rest unless acted upon
Newtons 2nd Law - answerNewton heavier objects require more force to move.
Force=Mass X Acceleration
Newtons 3rd Law - answerNewton for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite
reaction
Inertia - answertendency of body to maintain a state of rest unless acted upon
Velocity - answerspeed and direction of the body
acceleration - answerchange in velocity involving the speed or direction
mass - answeramount of matter possessed by an object
force - answerany action that changes or tends to change the motion of an object
Force that is applied to a body through a distance and in direction of the force -
answerWork
Amount of work accomplished in one unit of time - answerPower
Capacity of the body to perform work - answerEnergy
potential energy - answerEnergy that is stored and held in readiness
kinetic energy - answerthe energy an object has due to its motion
torque - answertwisting, turning, or rotary force related to the production of angular
acceleration
