Understanding Motor Skills Development and Program Planning

Understanding Motor Skills: Running Development

  • The Race: Running is essentially fast walking, distinguished by a flight phase. It depends on three factors:
    • Strength
    • Coordination
    • Balance

Factors Influencing Running

  • Fixed Factors
  • Variable Factors (intelligent opposition)

The Level of Risk

  • Physical Risk: High / Low (pedagogical progression)
  • Sports Risk: High / Low

The Sequencing of Decisions

This depends on the purpose of the task and the rules governing it.

  • Order of Fixed Motor Sequence
  • Order of Variable Motor

Understanding Brake System Components and Operation

Brake System Components and Operation

Phases of Braking

Pressure Rise Phase

During the pressure rise phase, the hydraulic solenoid valves are not activated. Pressure is created by the effort exerted on the brake pedal. The braking force increases, the wheel slows down, and consequently, the vehicle’s speed reduces. Acceleration and velocity are reduced to values such that the adhesion of the vehicle to the ground is compromised. Therefore, we must reduce the braking force to allow the wheels to increase
