1. Stability: A person is more or less stable depending on the area of
their support- ing base
2. Acceleration: The rate of change in velocity over a certain period of
time
3. Torque: The force that causes something to rotate
4. Force: The push or pull exerted on an object
5. Mass: The quantity of matter in an object
6. Center of Gravity (COG): AKA Center of
Mass More Stability= lower center of
gravity
For Max stability= COG is perpendicular to the ground and the center
of the base Movement requires you to change your center of gravity
7. Friction: The force created by an object's contact with the ground.
,Depends on
1)Weight of the Object
2) Surface of the ground
8. Tonic Neck Response: Movement in relation to the neck and limbs
9. Centripetal Force: The force exerted on an object moving in a circle
10.Inertia: Any object's resistance to a change in velocity
11.Weight: Mass x Gravitational Constant
Will vary depending on the gravitational force
12.Momentum: The tendency of an object in motion to stay
moving Mo= velocity x mass
Objects with the same speed will have different momentum if the
masses are different
13.velocity: The measure of speed and direction of an object
, Velocity= distance/time or Final Distance- Initial Distance/Time
14.After- Contraction Phenomenon: The increase in the force of
movement that seems to happen when the neuromuscular systems
become excited
eg. Pressing against a wall for a minute
15.Flexibility: The range of motion around particular joints
16.Exercise and Muscles: greater muscle endurance = greater aerobic
capacity & aerobic metabolism
