16
Q

What are serial skills?

A

Movement skills that have a number of discrete elements put together in a definite order to make a movement or sequence

17
Q

What is a continuous skill?

A

Movement skills with no clear beginning or end
End of one cycle of movement is the beginning of the next
Involves repetition of the same movement to make sense

18
Q

Give an example of a discrete skill

A

Throwing a ball in cricket
Goal kick in football
Golf drive

19
Q

Example of a serial skill

A

Gymnastics floor routine

Triple jump in athletics

20
Q

Give an example of a continuous skill

A

Cycling
Running
Swimming
Rowing

21
Q

What is the continua for pacing?

A

Self-paced——–> eternally paced

22
Q

What is self internally paced?

A

Performer decides when the movement starts and the rate it proceeds

23
Q

What is externally paced?

A

The control of the movement skill is not determined by the performer, but by the environment
In many cases, this involves opponents to whom the performer has to react

24
Q

Give an example of self internally paced

A

Normally a closed skill

Throwing a ball

25
Q

Give an example of externally paced

A

Normally open skills

Catching a ball

26
Q

What is the continua for difficulty?

A

Simple—–> complex

27
Q

What are the characteristics of a simple skill?

A

Have few decisions
Require little processing of information (perpetual load)
Small number of subroutines, the speed/timing not critical
One of few stimuli to process

28
Q

Give an example of a simple skill

A

Swimming
Rowing
Cycling
Cross country running

29
Q

What are the characteristics of a complex skill?

A 
Involve lots of decision making
Require much processing of information
Might include links between each part of the skill
Can be serial 
Speed/timing critical
30
Q

Give an example of a complex skill

A

Drinking in football- how hard/soft, team mate position, opponents
Passing a basketball
Golf fairway shot

31
Q

What is the continua for organisation?

A

Low——–>high

32
Q

What are the characteristics of a low organisation/incoherent skill?

A

Made up of sub-routines that can be easily separated and practiced by themselves
Having been practiced separately the sub routines can be put back together into the whole skill quite easily

33
Q

Give an example of a low organisation skill

A

Swimming- float

34
Q

What are the characteristics of a highly organised/coherent skill?

A

Not adult broken down into subroutines
Difficult to separate sub routines without disrupting the skills
Usually practiced as a whole

35
Q

Give an example of a high organisation skill

A

Forward role

36
Q

Task analysis for a golf shot

A 
Muscular evolvement: gross
Environmental influences: wind
Continuity: discrete/ serial
Pacing: self paced
Difficulty: complex
Organisation: low
37
Q

What is a skill?

A

The learned ability to bring about pre-determined results with maximum certainty, often with the minimum outlay of time, energy or both
