The motor/neuromuscular development goal emphasizes body awareness, movement proficiency, grace, and energy efficiency. Which value best aligns with this goal?

• A. Increasing energy expenditure
• B. Building confidence
• C. Reducing energy expenditure
• D. Maximizing muscular size

Answer: (C)

This item tests energy efficiency in movement. When motor and neuromuscular development emphasizes body awareness, movement proficiency, and grace, the goal is to perform with minimal wasted effort. Reducing energy expenditure reflects that more efficient neuromuscular control and technique allow smoother, controlled movements that use less energy for the same task, leading to less fatigue and better endurance. While confidence is helpful, and larger muscles aren’t inherently tied to efficiency, the core aim here is to move with economy and poise. So the best-aligned value is reducing energy expenditure.
