Human Motor Control and Development
Description
This module is a combination of theoretical and laboratory lessons which will prepare the
students to assist individuals in learning and performing motor skills through assessment of
movement skills and understanding the developmental stages/phases of fundamental skills. It
aims to develop students competencies in understanding the processes underlying skilled
performance. Students will apply the knowledge taking into account the individuals differences
and needs, as well as assessing the validity of various assessment batteries to be used.

Learning Objectives
(i) To understand that the development and
refinement of skillful performance in a variety of
motor activities are a major developmental task of
childhood and adolescence.
(ii) To understand the concepts and principles which
underlie the study of growth, maturation, and
physical activity performance during the first 2
decades of postnatal life.
(iii) To appreciate that there will be individual
differences in terms of age groups and their motor
control.
