Questions and Answers

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)
  • A process of change in movement
