FACTORS THAT AFFECTS MOVEMENT

Psychological Factor
Phenomena such as fear, anxiety and others affect the
movement either positive or negative. All those may
somehow affect the performance of an individual.

Physiological Factor
Physical Fitness and body built are
two main concerns that effect the
human movement. Poor muscle
development and low fitness level
will surely affect the movement.

Sociological Factor
These refer to the relationship of the
performer to the group regarding social
conformity and norms.
