Motor Development Growth and Development Growth development Growth development – terms used interchangeably; refer to changes in human body from birth to death. Growth – change in size Development – process of maturation All humans follow a similar sequential process but yet we are individual in our rates of growth development. *Not all children mature at the same rate. Factors influencing growth patterns: 3 Major Growth Spurts in Human Growth History: In utero – nutritionally genetically determined 54-60 months of age (age 4 to 5) Puberty Boys = girls height up to age 11; then girls tend to be taller than boys until age 13. Boys = girls weight up to age 11; then boys tend to be heavier than girls by age 15+. People who undergo early growth spurts usually end up shorter than those who have late growth spurts. Changes in physical features relating to sport performance… Centre of gravity – higher in children than adults children are less stable, especially when trying to stop bodies from moving in 1 direction Changes in physical features relating to sport performance Body Proportions ·?????? The fingers of a 4-5 yr. old are short/stubby making it difficult to grasp small objects vs. 6-7 yr. old ·?????? The legs of an adolescent undergoing a growth spurt are longer in proportion to body which enables this athlete to run faster. Hip-shoulder ratio in males differs from females following puberty – guys have the advantage in throwing b/c of this; ladies have a lower centre of gravity are more stable (better gymnasts). Changes in physical features relating to sport performance Muscle Fat Mass ·?????? Fat deposition in body increases from birth to 6 months, then decreases up to age 6-8 ·?????? Body fat increases approaching adolescence but decreases during growth spurt for guys more so than girls ·?????? Muscles increase in length, breadth, and width such that muscle tissue weighs 40x more at maturity than at birth ·?????? Height weight increa
