Plasticity (sport)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In sports science , plasticity refers to a targeted influencing of motor development that exploits “the potential” that enables individual people “based on their genetic predispositions and depending on their biological age to adapt to different environmental situations” ( Achim Conzelmann ). There is also talk of "high intra-individual plasticity", that is, developmental psychological research assumes that the motor skills within an individual can be greatly changed over the entire life cycle, and wants to explore the possibilities and limits of this changeability.

Children can be positively influenced for later physical activities through a large amount of exercise experience. Older people also have “considerable” reserves that are comparable to those of younger people and can be activated in order to create the conditions for “successful aging”.
