classifying movement skills
often categorised are:
- movement precision
- type of movement
- predictability
what are the two MOVEMENT PRECISION requirements
gross motor skills
fine motor skills
gross motor skills
def- involves the recruitment of large muscle groups. Their is less emphasis on precision
e.g running and swimming
fine motor skills
def- involves the recruitment of smaller muscle associated with movements requiring precision
e.g bouncing a ball before serving tennis
finger and hand movement required when throwing a dart
what are the three TYPES of movement
discrete motor skills
serial motor skills
continuous motor skills
discrete motor skills
def-have an obvious beginning and end
e.g kicking a ball
-netball pass
serial motor skills
def-several discrete skills performed in a sequence (combination of discrete skills)
e.g gymnastics floor routine
continuous motor skills
def-have no definite beginning or end point
e.g walking or running
what are the two skills that relate to predictability of environment
closed motor skills
open motor skills
closed motor skills
def- those where the performer has the greatest control over the performance environment
e.g indoor individual diver
open motor skills
-opposite of closed motor skills, performed in a less predictable environment. Conditions are constantly changing and performer has limited control
what are fundamental movement skills
def-foundation skills that provide the basis for the development of more sport specific movement skills.
what classify fundamental skills
stability skills involving balance and control of the body
-manipulative skills involving control of an object such as throwing or catching
what are the three stages of learning
cognitive stage
associative stage
autonomous stage
cognitive stage of learning
-beginner is mentally trying to comprehend the movement requirements of the motor skills
characteristics of cognitive stage
-many errors in performance
-trial and error learning style
-unable to detect and correct performance errors
associative stage
-performer is beginning to refine their technique/movement pattern
characteristics of the associative stage of learning
-consistent performance of the basic mechanics of the skill
-learner concentrates on skill refinement
autonomous stage
when an athlete reaches this stage, the skills required are automatic
characteristics of the autonomous stage
-very few errors
-multitasking is evident
-highly skilled
what are the 5 practice strategies
-amount of practice
-practice distribution (massed and distributed)
-practice variability (blocked practice and random practice)
amount of practice
practice time is important for learning and mastering skills
what can amount of practice time be influenced by
-stage of learning
-environmental constraints
-player fatigue
what should coaches aim to do regarding amount of practice
consider time spent on each task within a session to ensure time spent well and motivation is maintained
