Unit 4 Flashcards
Define a skill?
A learnt action or behaviour with the intention of bringing about predetermined results e.g conversion in rugby
Define ability?
Inherited from your parents, abilities are stable traits that determine an individuals potential e.g height
Name the 4 different continua?
Basic to complex, open to closed, self-paced to externally-paced, gross to fine
What is the basic to complex skill continuum?
Basic - few decision made, usually taught as a beginner e.g walking. Complex - decision making, takes considerable time e.g high jump
What is the open to closed skill continuum?
Open - unstable environment, skill affected by people around you e.g rugby tackle. Closed - stable environment, skill will not change in how you do it e.g javelin throw
What is the self to externally-paced skill continuum?
Self-paced - speed, pace and rate of movement controlled by performer e.g long jumper. Externally-paced - start of movement controlled by external factors e.g sprinters start off gun noise
What is the gross to fine skill continuum?
Gross - large movements involving large muscle groups e.g throwing a javelin. Fine - smaller movements with smaller muscle groups requiring accuracy and precision throughout action e.g archery
What does SMART targets stand for?
Specific, measurable, agreed, realistic, time-bound
Name 2 reasons why goal setting is used?
Build resilience, motivate and guide yourself
What does a performance goal include?
NO comparison to others, personal standards to be achieved and comparison to previous performances
What is an outcome goal?
Sometimes compare to others, focus on end result, aim to win more than individual performance
What are the 3 steps of information processing?
Senses - gathering data from input, prioritising the most important stimuli, making a suitable decision
What is input?
Information received via the senses from the environment
Describe decision making?
Data is analysed and a response is selected
What is output?
Where the decision is acted on
What is feedback for?
Data is received in response to the output
What is extrinsic feedback?
Received from output through a coach, spectator or video replay
What is intrinsic feedback?
Received from output through performer within emotions or kinaesthetic through receptors in muscles
What are the types of feedback?
Intrinsic, extrinsic, knowledge of results, knowledge of performance, positive and negative
Define knowledge of results?
Focus on the end of performance e.g score, time, position
Define knowledge of performance?
Focus on how the athlete has performed and not the result e.g how well a move was executed in gymnastics
What are the 4 types of guidance?
Verbal, visual, manual, mechanical
What is visual guidance?
Guidance that you can see e.g a demonstration
What is verbal guidance?
Guidance that you listen to e.g your coach
