Analyze aspects of perceptual development that affect the acquisition and maintenance of fitness and motor skills across the lifespan. 4. Analyze social and cultural constraints associated with motor and fitness development across the lifespan. 5. Differentiate factors associated with motor learning theory (e.g., movement preparation, attention, arousal, practice design). 6. Research a selected topic, and apply new knowledge, in a practical way, to a contemporary issue in the field of health, physical education, or sport.
