- embryonic (3-8wk)
- fetal (9wk-birth)
2. childhood (0-12y)
3. adolescence (13-19y)
4. adulthood (20y - death) Correct Answer-What are the physical stages
of growth and development?
an increase in the size of the body or parts thereof
1. hyperplasia: increased cell NUMBER
2. hypertrophy: increased cell SIZE
3. accretion: increased intercellular substances Correct Answer-What is
the definition of growth? What are 3 mechanisms through which growth
occurs?
hyperplasia: increases linearly throughout the prenatal period then with
small increases over the other 3 stages
hypertrophy: increases basically linearly throughout the 4 stages
,cell number increases the quickest during the prenatal stage Correct
Answer-How does hyperplasia vs hypertrophy of skeletal muscle tissue
change over the prenatal, infancy, childhood, and adolescence physical
stages?
When does cell number most greatly increase?
hypertrophy: in response to exercise
hyperplasia: during growth and development during the early stages of
life Correct Answer-When might hypertrophy vs hyperplasia occur most

the process of becoming mature, involves both the timing and tempo of
progress towards a mature biological state
- maturity is a state instead of a process, the end point
- example: emotional, sexual, skeletal maturity
- hard to measure because you don't really know where the endpoint is
until you have arrived (i.e. you don't know if you are at your mature
height until you are) Correct Answer-What is maturation? How does it
differ from maturity? What are 3 examples? Why is it hard to measure?
1. biological development: the process of differentiation and
specialization to cell types, organs, and functional units
2. behavioral development: development of competence in a number of
areas such as intellectual, social, emotional, moral, motor development
Difference: you can continuously develop with no endpoint, or you can
not develop certain things (i.e. behavioral development is not
, predetermined as to which competencies you will develop, whereas
maturation is scripted in your genes) Correct Answer-What are the 2
types of development? How does development vary from maturation?
self-concept, self-esteem, perceived competence
growth: size, proportions, physique, composition, systemic
maturation: skeletal, sexual, somatic, dental, neuromuscular
development: cognitive, emotional, social, moral, and motor Correct
Answer-growth, maturation, and development all lead to __________
which leads to _______ which leads to _________. Describe 5 examples
of growth, maturation, and development
physical performance, because activities such as learning to run depends
on neuromuscular maturation, current experiences, and growth and
maturity status Correct Answer-A child's physical __________ depends
on growth, maturation, and development, how?
the development of fundamental movement skills
- development because it is not necessarily something that has a
predetermined endpoint (we do not mature into being a good athlete, we
develop into being a good athlete) Correct Answer-What is physical
literacy? What is the importance of the wording of this definition?
