- Locomotor skills
- Skills that move the body from one place to another, including walking, running, jumping, hopping, skipping, galloping, sliding, and leaping.
- Non-locomotor skills
- Axial movements performed in place without traveling, such as bending, twisting, turning, swinging, pushing, pulling, and stretching.
- Manipulative skills
- Object-control fundamentals such as throwing, catching, kicking, striking, dribbling, volleying, and rolling that involve handling a ball or implement.
- General space
- The shared area inside set boundaries through which students travel; moving in it requires awareness of others and respect for their personal space.
- Static balance
- Maintaining a stable body position while stationary, such as standing on one foot; stability increases with a wider base of support and a lower center of gravity.
- Knowledge of performance
- Extrinsic feedback that describes how a movement was executed, for example telling a student the elbow was bent during a throw.
- Mature overhand throw
- The most advanced throwing stage, marked by an opposition step, hip and shoulder rotation, elbow leading the hand, and follow-through across the body.
- Random practice
- A practice schedule that mixes different skills or variations within a session; it lowers immediate performance but improves long-term retention and transfer.
- FITT principle
- A framework for designing exercise programs based on the Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type of activity performed.
- Maximal heart rate
- Estimated as 220 minus age; the upper limit used to calculate target heart rate zones for aerobic exercise prescription.
- Karvonen formula
- Target heart rate equals ((maximal heart rate minus resting heart rate) times intensity) plus resting heart rate; it accounts for each person's resting heart rate.
- Body composition
- The relative proportions of fat mass and fat-free mass such as muscle, bone, and water; one of the five health-related fitness components.
- Muscular endurance
- The ability of a muscle or muscle group to perform repeated contractions against submaximal resistance over time, as in curl-ups or push-ups.
- Overload principle
- The rule that the body must work above its normal demand to improve fitness, with load, duration, or frequency increased gradually over time.
- Specificity principle
- Training adaptations are specific to the activity performed, so training must match the fitness component and muscle groups being targeted.
- Body mass index
- Weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared; a screening indicator of weight status, not a direct measure of body fat.
- Formative assessment
- Ongoing checks during instruction, such as observation checklists or exit tasks, used to adjust teaching rather than to assign a final grade.
- Summative assessment
- Assessment administered at the end of a unit or term to measure achievement against standards and to assign a grade.
- Criterion-referenced assessment
- Assessment that compares a student's performance to a predetermined standard or criterion rather than to the performance of peers.
- Sport education model
- A curriculum model organized into seasons with teams, student roles such as coach or official, formal competition, and a culminating event.
- Tactical games approach
- A game-centered model that teaches decision making and game tactics first, then the skills needed to solve those game problems.
- Analytic rubric
- A scoring tool that lists separate criteria, each rated on its own scale, giving specific feedback about different parts of a performance.
- Psychomotor domain
- The learning domain concerned with physical movement and skill performance, including accuracy, speed, form, and consistency of execution.
- Scope and sequence
- A curriculum document that outlines what content is taught (scope) and the order in which it is taught across grade levels (sequence).
- Concrete operational stage
- Piaget's stage from about ages 7 to 11, when children reason logically about tangible objects and learn best through hands-on experiences.
- Duty of care
- The legal obligation of a teacher to supervise students, provide safe conditions, and act as a reasonably prudent professional would.
- Emergency action plan
- A written, rehearsed procedure listing staff roles, emergency numbers, facility address, AED location, and first-aid steps for injury or sudden illness.
- Texas concussion protocol
- A student showing signs of concussion must be removed from play immediately and may not return until a licensed physician provides written clearance.
- Heat acclimatization
- Gradual exposure to hot conditions over one to two weeks that improves sweating and reduces the risk of heat illness during outdoor activity.
- Active supervision
- Continuous scanning and deliberate positioning so the teacher can see all students and move toward high-risk areas before problems occur.
- Intrinsic motivation
- Engaging in activity for internal satisfaction such as enjoyment or feelings of competence, which sustains participation longer than external rewards.
- Least restrictive environment
- The IDEA requirement that students with disabilities be educated alongside peers without disabilities to the maximum extent appropriate.
