Changes Are Predictable
• Based on optimizing principles of motion
and stability
• Can be seen across variety of motor skills
• Often produce more force, velocity, or
accuracy
Newton’s First Law
• An object at rest stays at rest and an object
in motion stays in motion until acted upon
by a force.
• Inertia is resistance to motion related to
mass.
• Momentum is the product of mass and
velocity.
Newton’s First Law, Simplified
• We must exert force to
– move objects
– move ourselves
• More inertia means that
– it is harder to move
– more force application is required
Newton’s First Law:
Child Learns to Swing a Bat
– What must the child learn about inertia?
– What must the child learn about momentum?
Moving an Object Farther or Faster
• Increase force.
• Increase distance over which force is
applied.
Adding Distance to Improve a Kick
• Increase step
length (linear
distance).
• Increase range of
motion (rotational
distance).

Newton’s Second Law
• Object’s force is related to mass and
acceleration (F = m  a).
• Object’s acceleration is related to force
applied and inversely related to mass
(a = F/m).
Newton’s Second Law
• A person can throw only as hard as he or
she can throw.
• Given a constant force level, how could you
increase acceleration when throwing a ball?
Newton’s Third Law
• To every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
• When you push on something, it pushes
back on you!

Force Generation Aided by Planer
Movements
• Use force in the
plane of motion
where you want to
move yourself or
an object.
• Avoid rotational
movements that
reduce force in the
desired plane.

Increasing Velocity:
Rotating Limbs and Projected Objects
• Increase rotational velocity (swing it faster).
• Increase relative length (fully extend it at
release or contact).
Why Not Keep Limb
Extended Throughout?
The leg would have too much rotational
inertia.

Force and Time
• To make an object move, increase force
application for a given time.
• Example: karate chop to bricks.
• To make an object stop, increase time over
which a given force is applied
• Example: soft landing in gymnastics.
Question:
What developmental skills involve learning to
absorb force?
Stability and Balance
• Stability: ability to resist movement
• Balance: ability to maintain equilibrium
• Stability–mobility trade-off
Increasing Stability
• Increase base of support.
• Lower the center of gravity.
Increasing Balance
• Increase stability.
• Improve strength, coordination, and
proprioception.
Take-Home Messages
• The principles of motion and stability apply to all
actions and objects.
• Be aware of changing individual constraints.
• Manipulate task and environment to aid in optimal
skill performance.
• Not everyone will become proficient.
