21
Q

Elements to Classify Skills

A
Muscle involvement 
Continuity 
Pacing 
Environmental Impact
Complexity
22
Q

Muscle Involvement

A

Gross motor skills involve large muscle groups in the movement of the whole body; running and swimming

Fine motor skills involve small movements of specific body parts and require precision and control; darts, archery

23
Q

Continuity

A

The continuum for continuity has three key points;
Discrete
Serial
Continuous

24
Q

Discrete (Continuity)

A

Discrete skills have a distinct beginning and end
Short in duration
Eg. forward roll, throw, kick

25
Q

Serial (Continuity)

A

Serial skills are made up of a number of discrete skills
Performed in a particular order to make one integrated movement
Lay up

26
Q

Continuous (Continuity)

A

Continuous skills have no distinct beginning to end
Can be continued for as long as wishes
Running swimming

27
Q

Pacing

A

The continuum for pacing takes into account the performers control over timing of the skill

28
Q

Self Paced (Pacing)

A

Self paced skills, where the timing of the skill is entirely controlled by the performer eg tennis serve

29
Q

Externally Paced (Pacing)

A

Factors outside of the control of the performer determine timing and execution of the skill eg batting in cricket

30
Q

Environmental Impact

A

The continuum for environmental impact is based on the extent to which environmental conditions affect the performance of the skill; open or closed

31
Q

Closed Skills (EI)

A

Closed skills are performed in stable, predictable environment
No uncertainty or change in conditions
Eg free throw, diving or weight lighting

32
Q

Open Skills (EI)

A

Are those in which the conditions of the game are continually moving and being varied by what is going on around the performer eg team sports, weather

33
Q

Complexity

A

The continuum for complexity ranged from simple to complex
Running is simple
Lay up is complex

34
Q

Factors Affecting Complexity

A
Number of cues
Amount of info being processed
Number of decisions being made
Speed and accuracy required 
Degree of coordination required
Type bad timing of feedback
35
Q

Fitts and Posner Model

A

The process of developing from an unskilled performed into a skills one and it involves three phases; cognitive, associative and autonomous

36
Q

Cognitive Phase

A

Athlete tries to gain understanding of process
Errors are large in number and size
Athlete has little capacity to correct own errors
Instructions and feedback is beneficial

37
Q

Associative Phase

A
Able to perform basic skill
Better able to adjust to the environment when performing
Errors are less in number and size 
Begins to detect and correct errors
Encourage to use their own feedback
38
Q

Autonomous

A

Doesn’t consciously think about their specific movement of skill
Perform other tasks at same time
Low performance variability
Detect and correct errors

39
Q

Skill

A

Used to describe element of sport/game/activity and the ability to carry out a task and imply the quality of performance of task; cognitive or motor

40
Q

Cognitive

A

Mental skill that larger involved the though process eg chess

41
Q

Motor

A

Learnt ability to bring about predetermined results with maximum efficiency and minimal outlay of energy. Physical skill that require body movement eg running

42
Q

Essential Elements of Skill

A

Skill involves a complex sequence of movements
Skill is learned; requiring practice and results from experience
Skill is goal directed
Skilled performer achieves predetermined results with consistency
Skill results in precise and co ordinated movement which is economic and efficient

43
Q

Characteristics of a Skilled Movement

A

The characteristics of a skilled movement relate to increased speed, accuracy and consistency of execution of the skill. Skill is relative to the individual

44
Q

Perceptive Sense

A

Ability to interpret sensory information and rapidly discriminate between irrelevant and relevant cues

45
Q

Kinaesthetic Sense

A

Ability to feel the body during the performance of the skill

46
Q

Anticipated

A

Ability to predict what might happen and respond accordingly

47
Q

Timing

A

Ability to predict what might happen and respond accordingly

48
Q

Timing

A

Ability to effectively join movements together into a sequence

49
Q

Learning Process

A

Four main processes; perceiving, deciding, acting and evaluating

50
Q

Perceiving

A

Data is received by sight, hearing and touch
Go to brain which makes sense of it
Cumulative effect of these give performed perception on what is required

51
Q

Deciding (Process)

A

Makes sense of data and formulated response
Perceptual Mechanism - organises and interprets sensory information
Decision Making Mech- decisions are made for appropriate physical response
Effector mechanism - initiates and controls movement

52
Q

Acting (Response)

A

Signals neuromuscular system to respond accordingly; in order to perform necessary movements

53
Q

Evaluating (Feedback)

A

Performer will receive feedback from coach/observer regarding success
Feedback is then compared against what the ideal movement was and adjustments are made accordingly
