What is physical growth?

The state of optimal functional integration of an individual’s body system

An increase in size or body mass resulting from an increase in complete, already formed body parts (correct)

The ability to reproduce

The process of aging that leads to loss of adaptability

What does maturation refer to?

Relatively permanent gains in motor skill capacity associated with practice or experience

The continuous, age related process of change in movement

The study of neural, physical and behavioural aspects of movement

A progress toward physical maturity and the state of optimal functional integration of an individual’s body system (correct)

What is development?

A process occurring with the passage of time that leads to loss of adaptability or full function

An increase in size or body mass resulting from an increase in complete, already formed body parts

A continuous process throughout the life span, with different rates for different individuals (correct)
