MC and ML Quizzes

Question 1

Generically speaking, which of the following does not meet the criteria for skilled performance?

a. high consistency across skill attempts
b. a successful attempt at the indented target skill
c. controlled modifiability across skill attempts
d. minimized energy expenditure across skill attempts

Answer 1

b. a successful attempt at the indented target skill

Question 2

To understand the components of movement skill, the identification of movement outcomes and the production or causes of movement are necessary.

Which of the following can be typically considered a kinematic measure of skill?

a. time taken in executing the movement
b. forces generated by active muscles in the movement
c. accuracy of the movement
d. joint positions attained during the movement

Answer 2

d. joint positions attained during the movement

Question 3

In the lecture (week 1) case example of assessing a basic leg-lunge movement, which of the following would not be considered a production (cause) measure?

a. knee angle across foot contact and point of stabilized end movement
b. distance attained (and variation of distance) from standing position to heel position in the end-point lunge position
c. foot force deceleration and acceleration during floor contact
d. trunk-hip angle across the movement

Answer 3

b. distance attained (and variation of distance) from standing position to heel position in the end-point lunge position

Question 3

The centralized motor program perspective on motor control and learning relies on:

a. fixed, rigid movement patterns
b. variation exploration for optimal function
c. an interaction between neural, hormonal, and conditions
d. movements that become unstable in exploration

Answer 3

a. fixed, rigid movement patterns

Question 4

The role of the coach in the constraint-based framework for skill acquisition is to be a:

a. movement problem creator
b. centralized motor program instructor
c. explicit instructor
d. movement problem solver

Answer 4

a. movement problem creator

Question 5

Constraints can be classified into 3 category types to help understand how coordination patterns may emerge, or be affected, during goal-directed behaviour.

Regarding the example of receiving a pass in netball (week 1), which one of the following is an example of a task constraint?

a. game context conditions (e.g., last few minutes of a close game)
b. position and skill level of the opponent(s)
c. individual anthropometry
d. pass type, distance, speed, and trajectory of the incoming ball

Answer 5

d. pass type, distance, speed, and trajectory of the incoming ball
