Chapter 1 Movement skills Flashcards
What is skill acquisition?
The process of learning or acquiring movement skills that are necessary to participate in sports.
How are movement skills classified?
By movement type, movement precision, and the predictability of the environment.
What are fundamental movement skills (FMS)?
Basic movement patterns that involve different body parts and form the foundation for sport-specific skills.
What are sport-specific skills?
Skills that use a combination of fundamental movement skills in a sequence, tailored for a particular sport.
What are closed motor skills?
Skills performed in a stable, self-paced environment with low variability.
What are open motor skills?
Skills performed in a constantly changing, externally paced environment.
What are fine motor skills?
Skills that involve small muscle groups for precise and accurate movements.
What are gross motor skills?
Skills that involve large muscle groups for powerful and coordinated movement.
What are discrete motor skills?
Movements with a distinct beginning and end.
What are serial motor skills?
A sequence of discrete skills combined to create a complex movement.
What are continuous motor skills?
Skills with no distinct beginning or end, involving repetitive movements.
How does the closed/open skill continuum work?
Skills range from fully closed (predictable environment) to fully open (unpredictable environment).
How does motor skill development influence participation and performance?
Better motor skills encourage participation, leading to improved performance and further motivation to engage in sports.
What is an enabler in motor skill development?
A factor that positively influences a person’s movement skills.
What is a barrier in motor skill development?
A factor that negatively affects skill development.
How can modified sports aid motor skill development?
By adjusting rules, equipment, and environments to make sports more accessible and enjoyable for beginners.
What is task constraint modification?
Adjusting equipment, rules, or playing conditions to facilitate skill learning.
Why should beginners practice open skills in closed environments first?
To develop basic skills without external interference before introducing game-like conditions.
How do schools contribute to motor skill development?
By providing structured physical education programs that enhance fundamental skills and encourage participation.
Why is skill classification important for coaches?
It helps in designing effective training and teaching methods based on the type of skill being learned.
