LTDM: Long Term Developmental ModelFundamental Skills: Physical literacy is the combination of mastering fundamental movement skills and fundamental sport skills. This allows children to see, understand and react to movements going on around them. Most skills require a series of developmental stages, which can be detrimental if missed.
Once children have mastered fundamental movement skills and fundamental sport skills, they have achieved physical literacy! For children to have success in sport – either for recreation or competition – it is important they master movement skills before learning sport skills, and fundamental sport skills before specific techniques.
Learning fundamental sport skills before mastering the related fundamental movement skills actually reduces performance ability later.
For almost every skill, children need to go through a series of developmental stages. The challenge is to help them learn the next level of the skill rather than pushing them to perform like an adult.Children usually learn their fundamental movement skills in the same sequence and go through the same phases. There is a time when children can learn a skill, a time when they are ready to learn a skill and an optimum time to learn a skill.If a child goes too long without learning a skill, remedial work can be done. Parents also play an important role in skill development. Running, jumping, catching, kicking, throwing, swinging and hitting are the basic fundamental sport skills. They allow children to play several sports with ease. Missing out on them can lead to a lifelong disconnect from recreation and sport.Learning to throw a softball using a pitching motion – and aiming over home plate – represents the shift from learning a fundamental movement skill to learning a fundamental sport skill.

Weigh-In Recovery
Walk into the locker room of a professional
sports team, and you may find the athletes acting like babies -- or drinking
like babies anyway. Pedialyte -- a liquid often recommended for babies and
children to replace fluid and electrolytes after a bout with the stomach flu -- has become popular with professional athletes for its ability to
rehydrate quickly. With nearly twice the sodium of
Gatorade and half the sugar, Pedialyte has apparently been popular with extreme athletes for some time and is now
catching on with professional and amateur athletes alike.
Sports
Drink: Gatorade vs. Pedialyte
In the great debate of Gatorade
vs. Pedialyte for athletes, what are the facts and which one comes out on top? Because
both Gatorade and Pedialyte contain electrolytes, some people may wonder if
Pedialyte is as effective as Gatorade for athletes. This overview of Gatorade
vs. Pedialyte explains the benefits of each product, the reasons athletes use
sports drinks and how each stacks up within those uses.
