Development of skills
Older children, adolescents, and adults should be able to perform mature movements
14. Developmental Sequence of Specialized Movements Progression
“All or None” Phenomenon
Examples
15. Fundamental Movement to Specialized Movement Abilities
16. Developmental Sequence of Specialized Movements 3 separate, overlapping stages
Dependent upon -
Physical Capabilities and Specialized Movement Abilities
17. Developmental Sequence of Specialized Movements Specialized Movement Skills
Extent of development dependency?
Three stages: transition, application, and lifelong utilization
18. Stages within Specialized Movement Development Transition Stage -
“Getting the idea”
Application Stage -
Practice*
Lifelong Utilization Stage -
“Fine-tuning”
