movement skills (SAC 1) Flashcards
fundamental movement skills
- are foundation skills that provide the basis for successful participation in a wide range of physical activity
LOCOMOTOR - e.g walking, jogging, running, jumping
OBJECT CONTROL - e.g throwing, catching, bouncing, kicking
sport specific skills
- are advanced fundamental movement skills that are developed via specific sports practice and training
- are voluntary and co-ordinated
e.g soccer dribble, tennis serve, volleyball spike
closed skills
- are performed in a predictable or stable environment. the timing is controlled by the performer.
e.g bowling, pitching, free throw
open skills
- are performed in an unpredictable or changing environment. the timing is influenced by external forces.
e.g goal keeping, general play
open and closed continuum
closed <—————-> open
factors that influence open/closed environment
environment - indoor/outdoor, rain, wind, temperature and sun
external factors - defenders, rules, equipment, surface, pressure, increased distance
internal factors - level of learner, motivation, alertness
fine motor skills
- involves small muscles or muscle groups where accuracy and precision are required
e.g snooker and darts
(fine motor skills will enhance gross motor skills)
gross motor skills
- involve large muscle groups or whole body movements
e.g batting (cricket), serve (tennis
discrete skills
- have a distinct beginning and end point
e.g drop punt, free throw
serial skills
- is a combination of continuous/discrete skills in succession
e.g gymnastics routine, triple jump
continuous skills
- have no distinct beginning or end point (are performed over and over again)
e. g cycling, freestyle swimming
types of constraints (T)
Task - rules, goals and equipment characteristics that influence movement.
e.g playing area, off-side, score a goal, maintain possession, number of player, ball size/shape
types of constraints (I)
Individual - physical, psychological, behavioural characteristics that influence movement.
e.g height, weight, endurance, motivation, confidence
types of constraints (E)
Environmental - physical and social environment characteristics that influence movement
e.g gravity, temperature, light, noise, spectator, playing surface
enabler
- something or someone that has a positive effect on one’s movement skills
barrier
- something or someone that has a negative effect on one’s movement skills
how motor skill development influences participation in sport and also performance in sport
- if you have bad skills and are performing badly continuously you may not want to play anymore
- BUT if you continue to practice and work hard your skills may increase and you will perform better and then want to play more
purpose of qualitative movement analysis
- systematic observation and judgement of the quality of human movement.
- purpose of providing appropriate intervention to improve performance.
who uses qualitative movement analysis?
why is it useful?
who uses: teachers, coaches, trainers
why useful: modify movement, analysing skills, prevention of injury
qualitative movement analysis (P)
Preparation - coach needs to knowledge of:
- game/sport
- goal of movement
- performer(s) being analysed
qualitative movement analysis (O)
Observation - gather information on subjects performance
- appropriate distance/angles
- timing
- balance and stability
- direction of forces and opposition
- R.O.M
qualitative movement analysis (1. E)
Evaluation - identify strengths and weaknesses, quality of performance.
- what is the problem?
- what is causing the problem?
- how can the problem be corrected?
qualitative movement analysis (2. E)
Error correction - providing feedback, implementing corrections.
- methods of practice
- discussion/instruction
- report
- change in technique, equipment, environment
