Fundamental Principles of Training

  • Multilateralism: Training should comprehensively develop both the body and fundamental physical qualities.
  • Continuity: Physical effort should be sustained without interruptions to maximize benefits.
  • Gradual Growth of Effort: Training intensity should progress from low to high, increasing as the individual adapts.
  • Overload: Adaptation occurs when stimuli exceed the body's current capacity, prompting improvement.
  • Transfer: Physical exercises should be chosen with a specific objective, ensuring they contribute to desired performance outcomes.
  • Specificity: Training must be tailored to the athlete's particular sport or specialty.
  • Voluntary Stimulation: Genuine improvement stems from voluntary and conscious effort during

Physical Valences: Definition and Characteristics

Physical valences are a set of aspects that determine the physical condition and individual characteristics, encompassing both innate and acquired abilities.

Classification of Key Physical Valences

  • Force

    Force is the body's ability to overcome stress or exert effort against resistance.

  • Power

    The ability to execute an action or produce an effect, generally used in situations requiring a sense of strength and rapid execution.

  • Speed

    Speed is the ability of the individual to travel a distance or make a movement in the shortest time possible. Speed is defined as an ability based on the action of the nervous system, muscles, and the velocity of movement.

  • Flexibility

    Flexibility is the ability of the body to

The Family: Primary Agent of Socialization

Theme 7 focuses on the family as the primary agent of socialization. It is important to understand the expectations within this context to contribute effectively to the child's integral development.

Socialization is the central process of interaction between the child and their environment. An environment with few stimuli can lead to cognitive and social development deficits.

The family is the major social context where the child lives, and it is here that programs for basic autonomous learning are established.

Core Processes of Socialization

Within the socialization process, three fundamental processes occur, affecting development:

  • Affective Development
  • Cognitive Development
  • Social Development (including

Written on in English with a size of 3.69 KB

Stretching Techniques

Dynamic Stretching

Dynamic stretching is a training method widely used in gyms, utilizing springs. No plates are used; the objective is to improve physical condition by increasing the range of motion.

Ballistic Stretching

Ballistic stretching uses methods similar to dynamic stretching but involves more exaggerated muscle movement. It also produces the normal myotatic reflex and must be monitored carefully as it carries a higher risk of muscle injury.

Benefits of Dynamic & Ballistic Stretching

  • More motivating and less boring than static stretching.
  • Develops dynamic flexibility.

Disadvantages of Dynamic & Ballistic Stretching

  • Tissue adaptation is momentary.
  • Increases the risk of injuries.
  • Triggers the stretch reflex.

Passive

Nutritional Impacts on Physical and Motor Development

Classified in Physical Education

Written on in English with a size of 2.68 KB

5. Nutritional Aspects

The effects of poor nutrition or malnutrition affect physical and motor development (Ds). In cases of malnutrition, the following must be considered:

  • Time of occurrence.
  • Severity of malnutrition (greater severity leads to worse physical Ds).
  • Duration of this period (short periods allow for resilience).

Girls, due to their stable growth rate, better withstand the effects of malnutrition. Mainly, a deficit of protein and calcium in the maternal diet influences fetal development (Ds). Excess or deficit can have consequences beyond nutrition, such as rickets or obesity.

5.1. Malnutrition (MN)

Malnutrition can affect:

  • The rate of growth.
  • The final body size achieved.
  • The composition of various tissues.
  • The occurrence of certain maturation

Flexibility Work Recommendations

To improve flexibility, it's essential to work on specific muscle groups and joints.

Effects of Flexibility on the Nervous System

Flexibility improves the quality and speed of stimuli, through which nerves reach the muscles to act.

Understanding Breathing

Breathing is the process by which gas exchange occurs, facilitating the oxygen necessary for sustaining life and the output of carbon dioxide. It also plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's pH balance.

Controlling Breathing

Breathing can be controlled both physically and mentally. It is the only vital function that escapes the split between voluntary and involuntary control.
