- Predict changes in movement performance based on the application of balance, counter balance, weight transfer, and agility.
- Analyze the impact of kinesthetic awareness, “perfect” practice, motivation, and appropriate challenges in facilitating the learning and refinement of a movement skill.
- Analyze how movement activities reflect culture, era, geography, or historical context
C. Strategy
- Demonstrate and assess tactical understanding by using appropriate and effective offensive, defensive, and cooperative strategies in applied settings.
