Motor Control, Exercise, Sports, and Dance Quiz

What is the neuromuscular system?

• The system that controls the digestive system.

• The system that includes all the muscles in the body and the nerves connecting them.

• The system that coordinates the endocrine system.

• The system that regulates the respiratory system.

What is motor control?

• A bottom-up process of the nervous system that occurs before the actual movement is performed.

• A process that involves only the sensory system.

• A process that occurs after the movement is executed.

• A process that does not involve the nervous system.

What is the aim of motor control?

• To increase the cognitive demand during a skill or task.

• To ignore the sensory information from proprioceptors, visual and vestibular systems.

• To eliminate the need for sensory feedback during a skill or task.

• To reduce the cognitive demand during a skill or task.

What is inter-limb coordination?

• The movement of the upper limbs only.

• The movement of only one limb at a time.

• The independent movement of each limb without coordination.

• The synchronized and rhythmic utilization of both sides of the body in movements.

Which theory of motor control emphasizes the physical and dynamic properties of the body?

• Motor Program Theory

• Reflex Theory

• Dynamical Systems Theory

• Hierarchical Theories

According to Adams Closed Loop Theory, what is the role of sensory feedback in skilled movement?

• It is used for the ongoing production of skilled movement.

• It is not needed for skilled movement.

• It is used only for slow movements.

• It is used only for rapid, ballistic movements.

What is the premise of Schmidt's Schema Theory?

• Movement is controlled by stimulus-response.

• Movement is controlled by recall memory with motor programs and parameters to carry out movement without peripheral feedback.

• Movement emerges to control degrees of freedom.

• Patterns of movements self-organize within the characteristics of environmental conditions and the existing body systems of the individual.

Based on Systems & Ecological Motor Control Theories, what does motor learning increase coordination between?

• Perception and action through task & environmental constraints.

• Perception and action through internal constraints.

• Perception and action through external constraints.

• Perception and action through cognitive constraints.

What is the process of motor learning?

• The process of acquiring a skill without refinement.

• The process of acquiring a skill without assimilation.

• The process of acquiring a skill without practice.

• The process of acquiring a skill by which the learner, through practice and assimilation, refines and makes automatic the desired movement.

According to the text, what is the aim of motor learning?

• To improve the smoothness and accuracy of movements.

• To avoid making any changes in the central nervous system.

• To decrease the smoothness and accuracy of movements.

• To eliminate the need for practice.
