Exam Flashcards
CNS
- Sensory neurons send messages from sensory receptors to the brain
- The brain makes decisions and then sends an impulse down the spinal cord
- The spinal cord relays messages
- Motor neurons send messages to the muscles from the brain through the spinal cord
- The muscle fibre is supplied with nerves

Transfer of learning
The influence of past experiences on the learning/performance of new skills/experiences
skill to skill
occurs when the previous experience of a skill impacts the execution of the skill in a new context or the performance of another skill
theory to practice
Analysing team or opposition strengths and weaknesses, developing a game plan to succeed, describing specific strategies for game situations, showing movement on a whiteboard at training
Training to competition
should replicate the demands of the competition, should allow for the development of information processing and decision-making mechanisms
Static to dynamic
A drill that begins with a player being stationary to execute the skill, and gradually adds the movement, until it is at the intensity of competition
Shaping
When simplified or incomplete versions of a skill are practised, and as mastery takes place the missing components are added
Chaining
when a skill is broken down into separate components and practised individually, each component is joined together
