XSCI 3350 - Motor Learning and Development

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

A study of how the development of physiological, perceptual, neurological, intellectual, and emotional factors affect motor learning. Knowledge from this course provides a framework for the establishment of programs that facilitate skill acquisition for all learners with a focus on children and adolescents. This course is required on most Exercise Science and/or Kinesiology degree plans. It is also a prerequisite for many graduate programs in Exercise Science, or physical/occupational therapy. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Distinguish how the disciplines of motor development, motor learning, and motor control interrelate in motor behavior across the lifespan. 2. Analyze aspects of physical growth and aging that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan. 3. Analyze aspects of perceptual development that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan. 4. Analyze social and cultural constraints associated with motor and fitness development across the lifespan. 5. Differentiate factors associated with motor learning theory (e.g., movement preparation, attention, arousal, practice design). 6. Research a selected topic, and apply new knowledge, in a practical way, to a contemporary issue in the field of health, physical education, or sport.
