What is physical growth?
An increase in size or body mass resulting from an increase in complete, already formed body parts
What does maturation refer to?
A progress toward physical maturity and the state of optimal functional integration of an individual’s body system
What is development?
A continuous process throughout the life span, with different rates for different individuals
What is ageing?
The process occurring with the passage of time that leads to loss of adaptability or full function and eventually to death
What does motor development refer to?
The continuous, age related process of change in movement
What is motor control?
The study of neural, physical and behavioural aspects of movement
Which of the following best describes individual functional constraints?
Constraints related to behavioral function
