Chapter 1 movement skills Flashcards
What is Fundamental movement skills
A basic skill that allows individuals to develop sport-specific skills.
Sport commision categories
- object control- example - kicking, throwing, catching, hitting
- body control- balancing, thumbling, climbing
- locomotive skills- running, jumping, hopping, skipping, using a wheelchair, using a prosthetic limb
- aquatic skills- floating, early swimming strokes, paddling, standing on a surfboard.
Define sport specific skill
-combination of fundemental movement skills performed in a specific order to suit a particular sport-
EXAMPLE- a basketball jump as it involves coordinated moves specifically for a basketball like dribbling, jumping, shooting.
What is a open motor skill
- skill performed in an unpredictable environment
- EXAMPLE- surfing.
What is a closed motor skill
-skills performed in predictable environments where the individual has a high level of control over their surroundings.
EXAMPLE: cricket bowl, archery, tenpin bowling
What is a closed and open skill continuum.
The closed-open continuum shows how skills range from predictable to unpredictable. Closed skills are stable predictable condition where nothing changes, like tenpin bowling.
-while open skills require reacting to changing factors, like in netball its unpredictable. Skills can shift, like batting with a T-stand (closed) vs. facing a live pitcher (open).
Define Fine Motor Skill
they use smaller muscles or small muscle groups for precision/accuracy.
Example- throwing a dart, archery, leg spin bowling
Define Gross motor skill
Use large muscle groups for coordination, and powerful movements.
-large muscle group is used for large movement being made.
Example- throwing, hitting, kicking.
Define Discrete motor skills
-Have movements with a clear beginning and end.
One distinct movement and have a short duration.
-EXAMPLE- diving into a pool, throw, kick or catch.
Define Continuous motor skills
- No clear beginning or end point, often involving repetitive movement.
EXAMPLE- swimming, running, walking.
Define Serial Motor Skill
A series of discrete skills combined into a complex action. Duration is extended, but each movement has a distinct start and end.
Example- Gymnastic routine, triple jump.

Importance of motor skill development
motor skill development is important for a child’s overall development and well-being.
-( it can help become physically active participate in sports and exercise)
The importance of motor skill development in physical activity, sport and exercise.
- Motor skill development improves movement efficiency, builds confidence, enhances health, supports teamwork, and lays the foundation for advanced skills and lifelong physical activity.
What is an enabler?
something or someone that has a positive effect on a person’s movement skill
what is a barrier?
something or someone that has a negative effect on a parsons movement skills.
Roles school plays in participation
- Participation in physical activities is strongly linked to the teaching effectiveness of physical education teachers.
Roles School play in performance
- it encourages higher performance and engagement in sports and exercise.
What is modified sports.
Sports use modified rules to make learning easier. The goal is to boost motor skill development, improve performance, and foster a love for the sport, leading to participation.
EXAMPLE- shorter games, no contact or tackling, fewer players and smaller fields, modified equipment.
