Question 1

&#34;(1)Grasping the object with one or both hands,(2)the preparatory phase,(3)the propulsive phase,and (4)the follow-through phase&#34; is the basic throwing pattern for&#10;A) the overhand throw.&#10;B) the underhand throw.&#10;C) the sidearm throw.&#10;D) all of the choices are correct&#10;E) both the overhand throw and the underhand throw.

Accepted Answer

The basic throwing pattern described applies to all types of throws: overhand, underhand, and sidearm. Each phase is fundamental to the mechanics of throwing regardless of the specific technique used.

Question 2

Although the skills of throwing and catching go hand in hand in many game situations,each skill should be taught separately,and children should be given opportunities to practice the two skills in separate practice situations before they can become successful in combining the two skills.

Accepted Answer

Teaching throwing and catching skills separately allows children to focus on each skill and develop proper technique before combining them in game situations. This approach can increase success and confidence in both skills.

Question 3

Throws that involve hitting a close target allow for success in hitting a target; however,longer throws are necessary to enhance the development of the mature throwing pattern.

Accepted Answer

Short throws allow for success in hitting a target, but longer throws are necessary to develop the full range of motion and mechanics in a mature throwing pattern.

Question 4

Activities such as catching from a skilled thrower,tossing to self and catching,and throwing at a large target are all activities appropriate for children at the&#10;A) precontrol level of skill development.&#10;B) control level of skill development.&#10;C) utilization level of skill development.&#10;D) proficiency level of skill development.

Accepted Answer

These activities are appropriate for children at the precontrol level of skill development, as they involve basic movements and hand-eye coordination. At this level, children are learning the fundamental movements and basic hand-eye coordination necessary for more complex activities. They are also developing their ability to track and catch objects, as well as their throwing accuracy. These activities help build a foundation for future skill development in sports and other physical activities.

Question 5

Most children who are at the precontrol level of catching are most likely also at the precontrol level of throwing.

Accepted Answer

This is true. Catching and throwing are closely related skills and usually develop together. Children who are at the precontrol level of catching (not able to consistently catch a ball) are also typically at the precontrol level of throwing (unable to consistently throw a ball with accuracy and force).

Question 6

It is rather easy to choose appropriate throwing tasks for children in a particular grade because,typically,most children within a class will be within a similar range of throwing abilities.

Accepted Answer

While it may be true that most children within a class will be within a similar range of throwing abilities, it is important to assess each child individually and adjust the throwing tasks accordingly to challenge and support their specific needs and abilities.

Question 7

Key points to remember when observing a child catching include all below EXCEPT&#10;A) elbows flexed during preparation for catching.&#10;B) eyes on the ball or object throughout the catch.&#10;C) step forward on the opposite foot as catch is made.&#10;D) elbows extended as the catch is made.&#10;E) catch with hands alone.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Key points to remember when observing a...

Question 8

Catching a variety of objects while traveling rapidly and suddenly changing directions and levels demonstrate skill at the proficiency level.

Accepted Answer

Catching objects while traveling at high speeds with sudden changes in direction and elevation requires a high level of proficiency and skill.

Question 9

Children who can consistently catch a variety of objects with one or both hands and who can perform smooth throwing actions in a variety of static situations are ready for activities at the&#10;A) precontrol level of skill development.&#10;B) control level of skill development.&#10;C) utilization level of skill development.&#10;D) proficiency level of skill development.&#10;E) control level of skill development and utilization level of skill development.

Accepted Answer

Children who can consistently catch and throw smoothly in various situations are at the utilization level, where they can apply skills in different contexts and conditions.
