Chapter 2 Flashcards
what are the characteristics of skills
ACEFACE
aesthetically pleasing
consistent
efficient
fluent
accurate
controlled
economical
what is a fine skill
- small muscle groups
- precise movements
- high levels of hand eye coordination
example - DARTS
what is a gross skill
- large muscle groups
- not very precise
- include more functional movement
example - RUGBY TACKLE
what is an open skill
- externally paced
- not stable / predictable environment
- interfered with by external factors
example - CENTRE PASS IN NETBALL
what is closed skill
- internally paced
- environment stable and predictable
- not altered by external factors
example - TENNIS SERVE
what is a discrete skill
- clear begining and end
example - TENNIS SERVE
what is a serial skill
- several discrete skills linked
example - GYM ROUTINE
what is a continuous skill
- no clear beginning and end
example - CYCLING
what is a self paced skill
- performer controls the speed rate and pace at which the skill is executed at
example - PENALTY KICK IN FOOTBALL
what is an externally paced skill
- the beginner has no control over when them skill is started pr how fast it must be performed
example - 100M RACE WITH SHOT GUN and CRICKET SHOT
what is a high organisation skill
- not easily broken down into parts
example - FOOTBALL VOLLEY
what is a low organisation skill
- easily broken down
- positioning can be easily identified and practised separately if needed
example - TRIPPLE JUMP and GYM ROUTINE
what is a simple skill
- few decisions
- little attention / cognitive ability
example -FOWARD ROLL
what is a complex skill
- lots of decisions
- large attention span
- complicated , practiced in training repeatedly to make them easier to perm in comps
example -HOCLEY DRIBBLE
define positive transfer of learning
a previously learnt skill will help / enhance / aid the learning of a new skill
define negative transfer of learning
a previously linked skill will hinder the learning of the technique of a new skill
define zero transfer of learning
previously learnt skills have no impact upon the skill being learnt due to the differences in the skill
define bilateral transfer of learning
the practice on a limb on one side of the body improves the other side
how can a coach make sure that successful transfer of learning takes place (6 ways)
- eliminate bad habits
- have stages of progression
- original task is learnt effectively
-identify points that may hinder the learning - ensure practice is safe
- ensure performer is motivated / confident
what is whole practice
skill is performed at once without breaking it down
performers gets the feel for the whole task
when should you use whole practice
when skill is
fast
closed
discrete
self paced
simple
high organised
what are the advantages of whole practice
-more realistic than splitting up the practice which helps to produce positive transfer between skills in training and those in action
- develops kinaesthesis or understanding
-keeps links between sub routines
what are the disadvantages of whole practice
not suitable for beginners
too much information at once beyond the capabilities of the performer
example of a whole practice skill
tennis serve
what is whole- part- whole practice
attempt , breakdown , put back together
can focus on weakness in the skill
when should you use whole-part-whole
complex
fast/ballistic
difficult to isolate
what are the advantages of whole- part- whole practice
able to highlight specific weaknesses and work on them
successful integration of point into whole action
what are the disadvantages of whole- part- whole practice
time consuming
may provide negative transfer of learning if it is not integrated effectively
some skills cannot be broken down
what is an example of whole-part-whole practice
Golf swing when the performer has a poor grip
what is progressive part practice
“chaining” - each part of the skill is added gradually
when should you use progressive part practice
when skill is
complex
serial
externally paced
low organised
what are the advantages of progressive part practice?
reduces danger
reduces fatigue
reduces demands
focus on weaknesses
the stages of success give motivation
keeps links between parts
what are the disadvantages of progressive part practice?
time consuming if the first part is incorrect , all is lost - negative transfer
example of progressive part practice
dance routine
what is massed practice
no rest intervals
when is massed practice used
when skill is
discrete
simple
closed
high organisation
self paced
advantages of massed practice
forms motor programmes
increases fitness
efficient
good for habitual responses
