The pupose of this lab was to demonstrate that no one person has an inborn motor ability that is superior to anyone else's abilities in all areas of exercise. To illustrate this principle we devided into groups and performed 3 trials in each of the 6 exercises available to us as a group. We took turns timing and counting for the other 5 group members, therefore we all have a group where we placed last. There were a couple people who placed in the upper rankings of most of the exercises, but no one placed first in all 6 exercises.
In the stork stand exercise, Nathan placed first. Marley received first place in the diver's stand and Katie placed first in the Heel stand. Nathan placed first in the Sideward leap as well. We all got first in the Bass Stepping-stone exercise. This exercise was performed toward the end of class time; therefore we only did one trial and might have counted the second in between the step incorrectly. In the book balancing exercise, I placed first.
Everyone performed in an average range. Some trials we could hardly hold the stance for even a few seconds, then other trials, it we had to just stop counting because people could hold them for a very long time. I believe if we had had more time to perform them completely correct, we would have been more precise with our measurements. Some people in our group were better at a particular exercise which indicated that we do not have a general motor ability that is better than everyone else. Yes, these results indicate the idea of individualized motor abilities that are not superior in all aspects of movement. Having more time to perform everyone would have helped with the errors we made. We could have been more precise when counting.
