Human Movement and Motor Skills in Sports
Human Movement and Adaptation
- Man is a being that lives in constant interaction with their environment. Before birth, is immersed in an environment of stimuli and with great ability to react to them in connection with the maturation processes of growth and learning. Able to adapt to this. This adaptation involves a relationship between assimilation and accommodation.
- Human movement involves a particular phenomenon of adaptation, which is one of the many forms of human interaction with their environment.
Human Anatomy: Sensory Pathways, Mediastinum, and More
Sensory Pathways
Sensory pathways are conduction channels that originate in the spinal cord and extend to the cerebral cortex, either at the cortical or subcortical level. These pathways transmit sensory information. There are two main types of sensitivity:
- Protopathic Sensitivity: Responsible for light or crude touch, temperature, and pain sensation.
- Epicritic Sensitivity: Mediates deep receptor discrimination between two points, location, and joint positions.
Neurons Involved in Sensory Pathways
- Protoneuron
- Neuron
Swimming Techniques: Mastering Freestyle, Backstroke, and Breaststroke
Freestyle Technique
Body Position: Maintain a hydrodynamic, flat position with your head, spine, and legs aligned. Look at the bottom of the pool, except when breathing.
Rotation: Rotate around the central axis of your spine in the same plane as your hips. Keep approximately half of your body submerged for optimal hydrodynamics. The high shoulder should be on the recovery arm side, and the low shoulder on the pulling arm side.
Arm Movement:
- Forearm and Hand Recovery: Keep your elbows high and relaxed,
Key Offensive Soccer Principles and Tactics
Offensive Principles in Soccer
Dismarking (Desmarque)
Dismarking is a tactical action to escape the opponent’s vigilance when we are in possession of the ball. All players dismark when in possession of the ball, holding areas and offering the possibility of an affordable game to the player with the ball in any zone. It’s useful and effective for the play.

Communication between humans is primarily done through words, but not everything we try to communicate is *verbal*. Your body also plays a crucial role in completing the message, contributing anywhere from 30% to 70% of the overall meaning. This percentage isn’t fixed and can vary depending on factors such as culture, education, the individual’s state of mind, and their personality.
We define body language as the set of nonverbal cues that enhance the transmission of a message. These cues include

Active Exercises
Active Movement: Performed by voluntary contraction of muscles, working in opposition to an external force.
Classification of Active Exercises
Higher education: Free exercises, which are performed by the patient.
Resistance: Inheritance of any external action other than gravity.
Effects of Active Exercises
- Muscle Degree: Depends on the patient’s skill.
- Relaxation: Muscle tone is maintained.
- Power: Increases according to the speed and duration of exercise.
- Coordination: Improves with practice.
