Understanding Sprains, Dislocations, Wounds, and More

Sport and physical education3.29 KB

Sprains

A sprain is a tear, twist, strain, or overstretching of a ligament. It occurs due to a sudden movement, fall, bump, or a sharp twist, which exceeds the normal range of motion. Sprains are graded as follows:

  • Grade I: Partial ligament distension (conservative treatment, see medication, physiotherapy, massage therapy).
  • Grade II: Partial or complete tear of the ligament (conservative or surgical treatment, depending on the injury).
  • Grade III: Complete rupture of the ligament with bone avulsion (surgical treatment).

The failure of several ligaments can lead to dislocation if joint congruity is completely lost.

Dislocations

A dislocation is an injury to the capsular ligament with permanent loss of contact between joint surfaces, which may be total

Understanding Early Experiences and Motor Learning

Sport and physical education2.74 KB

Early Experiences

Early experiences, given the principle of life from the moment of fertilization, are very crucial for the organism because they occur when it is still undifferentiated. They are in critical periods of development of the individual.

  • Pre-associative acquisition responses: Phenomena are habitualization, awareness, pseudo-knowledge, and inhibition.

The Learned

Almost all human behavior is learned. Man is learning all his life. It is said that a behavior is learned as a result of practice or experience and appears in the repertoire of behaviors in a more or less stable manner.

Learning is the acquisition or modification of behavior as a result of experience. The most important part of learning theory is the theory of information processing....

Stimulus: Any form of energy to which we respond.

Sensation: What we feel in response to information that comes through sensory organs.

Perception: The way the brain organizes these feelings to make sense of the world.

Psychophysics

Psychophysics is the study of the relationship between the physical dimensions of stimuli and our psychological perceptions of them.

Thresholds of Perception

  • Absolute Threshold: The minimum intensity of a stimulus necessary for it to be perceived.
  • Difference Threshold: The smallest intensity difference required to perceive a distinction between two stimuli.

  • Sequencial: implica que padrões motores ocorrem em uma ordem previsível.
  • Cumulativo: os comportamentos motores são aditivos.
