Chapter 2- Improving skill Flashcards
Is there a link between motor skills, participation and performance?
Yes as young people with better-developed motor skills find it easier to be active and engage in more physical activity opposed to those with less developed skills
What are the three basic motor skills? Give examples for each.
- Object control ( catching and throwing)
- Locomotor skills (running and throwing)
- Stability skills (balancing and twisting)
What is qualitative movement analysis, why is it a range and why is it used?
It is a form of analysis that is used to improve human movement by; diagnosing strengths and weaknesses; identify talent/ team selections; predict future results and obtain final results. It is a range as there are different factors that fall in between each side.
What involves non-numeric assessments of information?
Qualitve Movement analysis
What involves measurements of performance in data
Quantitative Movement analysis and it relates to biomechanics and exercise physiology
How would running be assessed using the qualitative movement analysis method?
1- Developmental level 2- Rating scale 3- Stride length 4- Velocity 5- Acceleration 6- Force
What are the 4 principles of qualitative movement analysis?
1- preparation- determine the specific purpose of analysis
2- observation- live or recorded taking in factors affecting the athlete
3- evaluation- judging the value and amount of problem. What is the problem, what is causing it, how we can correct it.
4- intervention provide feedback and implementing methods of correction
What is the difference between objective and subjective measures of movement?
Objective involves impartial measures with no bias or prejudice, while subjective are influenced by the observer’s personal judgment
Give examples of both objective and subjective measures of movements
The scoring in a gymnastic performance is subjective as it a judges interpretation, while a a sprint is an example of objective performance measures as there is tangible evidence, like times
What is test validity?
It is the capacity of a test to measure what it is intended to. (Tests for ability)
What is test reliability?
The ability for a test to reproduce similar results when conducted in similar commistione, contexts and situations
How can one maximize test reliability?
Use the same/similar procedures, equipment, conditions, environment and testers
What is entailed in the direct coaching approach? What kind of impact does this approach effect learners?
Coaches make all the decisions in relation to selection an sequencing of practice and how technique will be performed, practiced and refined.
The performer has limited need to make decision or think independently with direct coaching. This can be both good and bad
What are constraints?
They are boundaries that shape a learners self-organizing movement patterns, understanding and decision making process
What are the individual constraints?
- body size
- fitness level
- mental skills
- perceptual and decision making skills
- technical skills
