High heel recvery. 12-5 Individual Task Envirnmental Gender Distance f run Age Develpmental stage f running is predictive f prduct measures (speed) f running perhaps due t increasing bimechanical efficiencies. As children develp cmpetence in running they shuld practice a wide range f running speeds & directins. 12-6 2
Cncept 12.2 Prcess measures f a fundamental mtr skill describe the pattern f mvement whereas prduct measures examine the utcme f the mvement; althugh related, each tells smething different abut the mvement f the child. 12-7 Smth, fluid rhythmical actin Lead leg stays in frnt Hips, frnt facing Trail leg lands beside r slightly behind lead leg Feet remain clse t surface Knees are flexed slightly while in flight Ability t lead with bth right & left legs in frnt 12-8 Ttal Bdy 1 A blend f a gallp & run, struggle t keep lead leg in frnt 2 Lead leg emerges, trail leg is stiff (freezes the degrees f freedm) 3 Rhythmical, fluid pattern, stays lw t the grund, lead frnt stays in frnt 12-9 3

Ttal Bdy 1- Braking arms - arms swing backward against bdy. Shrt jump. 2 Winging arms - arms swing frward & sideward (winging). Shrt jump. 3 Arms swing t head - with elbws frward at takeff. Take-ff angle greater 45 degrees. Legs extend. 4 Full bdy extensin cmplete arm & bdy extensin at take-ff, bdy leans 45 degrees. Lng jump. 12-13 Age Individual Task Envirnmental Gender frm age 12 Jumping is a cmplex skills requiring crdinatin, strength & balance. Jumping takes a lng time t develp & weight (strength-t-weight rati) can play a factr in it s develpment. 12-14 Balance effectively n supprt ft Supprt leg fully extends at take-ff & flexes at landing Thigh f nn-supprt leg pumps back & frth with the hp Arms pump in ppsitin t the swing leg s pendular mtin Frward lean f bdy 12-15 5
Ttal Bdy 1- Ft in frnt - free ft in frnt f base leg. Arms in high guard. Labred hp. 2 Ft by supprt leg - free ft alngside base leg with knee in frnt. Slight bdy lean & bi-lateral arms. 3 Ft behind supprt leg - free ft behind base leg. Bdy leans frward & hp. 4 Pendular free leg - free leg pumps in pendular actin. Frward bdy lean & ppsitin f arms with hp. 12-16 FMS Assessments Need: Reliability tests that prvide cnsistent scres frm ne testing perid t anther. Validity tests that measure what it claims t measure. Objectivity tests that will give similar results when it is administered by different testers. Cncept 12.5 Assessments can be categrized as nrm-referenced, criterin-references, prductriented and/r prcess-riented. 12-17 Prduct-riented tests utcme f a skill. 3 f 10 catches, threw 20 feet Prcess-riented tests pattern f the perfrmance. Develpmental sequences Nrm-referenced tests cmpare child s skills t similar age, & gender. At 20 th percentile Criterin-referenced tests examine quality f mvement t pre-determined criteria f perfrmance. Hand catch - Yes r N? 12-18 6
Cncept 12.4 There is a relatinship between prcess & prduct measures in sme lcmtr skills (running & jumping). As perfrmers mve frm initial, t emerging t prficient patterns f perfrmance (prcess), they are able t apply these bimechanical efficiencies int greater utcmes (prduct) such as speed f run & distance jumped. 12-19 7
