Archaic and Classical Greek Sculpture: Evolution
Archaic Period
The Archaic Period is one of the first moments that characterized Greek sculpture. It shows a style relating to the Oriental representative systems:
- Figures adopt closed forms, and geometry dominates. Frontalism, statism, symmetry, and stiffness are present.
- Movement is limited to one leg forward, and forms are unnatural and angular.
- Simplification is rigid and geometric. Hair forms almond shapes, and eyes are parallel lines.
- Faces are inexpressive and without individualization, with
Infant Reflexes, Motor Skills, and Development Stages
Unit 3: Primary Reflexes
Previous step of the voluntary motor activity and movements.
Automatic movements that happen after a specific stimulus in the first months of birth.
In a newborn baby, they are produced in the sub cortex, because of the unfinished development of the brain.
Useful to identify normal brain activity (no MND).
Their main aim is to protect child’s life.
Children need time to take control over the reflexes.
Types of Primary Reflexes:
- Rooting: The baby will turn his or her head and open

Team handball is played by two teams of seven players each (1 goalkeeper and 6 court players). A maximum of 12 players may participate per side, with unlimited substitutions. The object of the game is to throw the ball past a goalkeeper into the opponent’s goal.
Rules
Duration of the Game
- The winner is the team that scores more goals in sixty minutes, divided into two half-times of thirty minutes, with a 10-minute break. The clock is not stopped when the ball leaves the court.
Passive play: When a

Exercise Physiology: Changes in Body Functions
Exercise can be categorized as light, heavy, or severe work. Light work requires up to 4 times the normal oxygen consumption, heavy work between 4-8 times, and severe work an oxygen consumption higher than 8 times the normal uptake (normal uptake = 3.5 mL/(kg·min)).
Energy Production During Exercise
As work increases, more ATP is required for muscle contraction. This can be produced via oxidative metabolism (Krebs cycle and ETC) or via anaerobic metabolism,

Understanding Physical Qualities
Endurance is defined as the capacity that allows us to maintain physical effort for a long time and recover more quickly afterward. Key elements that condition endurance include:
- Muscular System: Fast and slow-twitch muscle fibers, energy stores, and the ability to remove lactic acid.
- Nervous System: Coordination of different muscles performing the movement.
- Circulatory System: The amount of blood circulating through the body determines the ability to transport oxygen
