Motor learning refers to the relatively permanent gains in motor skill capability associated with practice or experience.
Motor control is the study of the neural, physical and behavioural aspects of movement.
Physical growth is an increase in size of body mass resulting in complete, already formed body parts.
Physiological maturation is a qualitative advance in biological makeup and may refer to cell, organ or system advancement in biological composition rather than to size alone.
Aging is the process, occurring with the passage of time, that’s leads to loss of adaptability or full function and eventually to death.
Constraint is a characteristic of the individual, environmental, or task that encourages some movement while discouraging others.
Individual constraint are a persons or organisms unique physical and mental characteristics. Structural constraints
Functional constraints are individual constraints related to behavioural function.
Environmental constraints are constraints related to the world around us.
Task constraints include the goals and rule structure of a particular movement or activity.
Longitudinal research study is one in which the same individuals or group is observed performing the same tasks or behaviours on numerous occasions over a long time.
Cross-sectional research study is one in which developmental change is inferred by observing individuals or group of varying ages at one point in time.
Cohort a group whose members share a common characteristic, such as age or experience
Mixed longitudinal, or sequential research study several age groups are observed at one time or over a shorter time span, permitting observation of an age span that is longer than the observation period.
