UNIT 3 AOS 1 - Skill Acquisition Flashcards
(21 cards)
What are discrete skills?
Have a distinct beginning and endpoint.
Eg. Kicking/throwing a ball
What are serial skills?
Is a combination of discrete skills in succession.
Eg. A gymnastics tumbling routine, or triple jump
What are continuous skills?
Have no distinct beginning or endpoint.
Eg. Swimming, or rowing.
What are fine skills?
Refers to skills that involve small muscles or muscle groups where accuracy and precision are required.
Eg. Bouncing a ball, throwing a dart.
What are gross skills?
Refers to skills that involve large muscle groups or whole-body movements.
Eg. Swimming, running
What are closed motor skills?
This is where the performer has the greatest control over the person’s environment - this refers to external factors such as weather, playing surface and opposition.
What are open motor skills?
Is where the performer is in a less predictable environment. The conditions are constantly changing and the performer has limited (if any) control over their environment.
What are individual constraints?
Are located inside the body and include: Age Gender Physical characteristics Physical fitness Skill
What are task constraints?
They are constraints located outside the body. These include: Dimensions of the playing area Number of players Aim or goal of the game Rules of the game
What are Environmental constraints?
They are constraints from outside the body and from the world around us.
What are Physical Constraints?
Location Playing surface Gravity Weather Noise levels
What are Sociocultural Constraints?
Culture
Family support
Peers
What are the 3 stages of learning?
Cognitive (beginning stage)
Associative (practice stage)
Autonomous (automatic or advanced)
What is the cognitive stage?
Trying to understand the rules/requirements of the task, as well as the equipment and how it is used.
What is the associate stage?
The technique is refined and performance is gradually improved and becomes more consistent.
What is the autonomous stage?
Performance is smooth, accurate and consistent. Attention or focus can be given to other factors such as tactics and opponents.
What is the Qualitative Movement Analysis?
“the systematic observation and judgement of the quality of human movement for the purpose of providing appropriate intervention to improve performance.”
What is the Preparation stage?
The coach needs knowledge of the: Game/sport Movement being analysed The goal of the movement Key features of the movement Performer(s) being analysed Relevant observation strategies
What is the Observation stage?
Systematic gathering of subjective information about the performance using live or recorded footage. Observe: From appropriate distances/angles Separate subroutines Timing Balance and stability Direction of forces Movement of opposition Flow of motion Range of motion
What is the Evaluation stage?
Identify strengths and weaknesses, as well as judge the quality of performance.
A – What is the problem?
B – What is causing the problem?
C – How can the problem be corrected?
What is the Error Correction (Intervention) stage?
Providing feedback Implementing methods of correction: Methods of practice Discussion/instruction Video review Written reports Change in technique Change in environment Change in equipment Change in psychology
